    I am a founder and Principal at the newly launched Customs Bureau design studio, following over a decade at world-renowned interior design firm, Yabu Pushelberg. It's through this new venture that I will be seeking out and bringing forward the latest and most innovative trends in interior design for my clients.My work focuses on curating luxury hospitality interiors that are as uniquely expressive as the people and places they accommodate. I look at the human experience and how to evoke emotion through the spaces we create. My designs aim to take a humanistic approach, considering the user-experience in every feature, while also looking at how to uniquely respond to each aspect of the client’s vision. As a result, I am able to take the conceptual design process and individualize it, thus creating well-thought-out and highly bespoke projects for my clients. It is this attention to detail and consideration for the client’s distinctive standpoint that enables me to work with some of the most exclusive and highly sought-after brands, from the Four Seasons to Aman.
