COLLABORATIONS

a curated presentation of creative collaborations in all styles over the past three decades.  each project is unique because each client is unique.  the work featured is an honest manifestation of the clients' aspirations as a result of design philosophies client-centric process.

CULTURE

I was destined to do what I do. I was born into a family of industry related entrepreneurs.  My grandfather was a custom home builder and land developer.  My grandmother was an interior designer.  Lastly, my father was a landscape architect.  Each of them imparted a passion for design which inspired my formal education.  

 

In 1991, I completed my undergrad in Business Management & Marketing. A few years later, I earned a BA in Interior Design at Ringling College of Art & Design.  Soon after, I completed a BA in Architecture at the Academy of Art University.  I rounded out my formal education with a graduate degree in Philosophy. 

 

A curated education in tandem with real time experience has been my differential advantage.  Career highlights including, but not limited to: owned a design/build firm with a home interiors showroom, work featured in national publications, developed furniture collections overseas, partnered with Environment Furniture to open a design studio in Milan, and worked on the team that brought the first fleet of Restoration Hardware design flagships to life. Over the past twenty years I have developed products and/or designed projects throughout five continents. 

CREATE

Design Philosophies is an environment where interactive and engaging conversations ignite creativity.  The aim is to connect the classic principles of architecture and interiors with the client's lifestyle to create an uncommon and thoughtful place that reflects them alone.

Consulting services are as diverse as our projects.  Each program is developed to meet the needs of the client in whatever phase their project is in.  Design Philosophies can support any scope of any size from land procurement to furniture selections and everything in between.

Building a relationship is just the beginning of the design process.  It commences with a discovery discussion to learn about the project to see if Design Philosophies is the right collaborator.  The initial conversation is complimentary and is a great time to talk about scale and scope.

Design Philosophies is a fee based firm offering fully transparent services; scale multiplied by scope.  It's that simple.
