1. Were you always interested in design?

Yes! My mom was an architect, and since I was little, I wanted to be like her.

2. How would you define your design style?

Modern, clean, monochromatic. But I always like to add some eclectic touches like vintage or eclectic pieces.

3. If you had to pick a favorite room in your home, which would it be and why?

My living room! I like the high ceiling, the natural light, the fireplace.
Our furniture is a mix of pieces from our previous houses as we moved from Paris to Idaho and now in London. Some of them made the trip Europe-USA twice! As spaces are so different from one country to another, I always complement with some new entries. I like to think that our house tells our story.

4. Who or what influences your work?

It depends on the client and on the moment. I can find inspiration in everything around me so everything that catches my attention.

5. What’s a must-have item you make sure your interior designs include?

I always like to include beautiful lights as I think light is very important. And a nice original/eclectic something that could be, for example, a vintage or designer chair, an interesting art piece. I also like to include green plants as they give freshness and life to every space.

6. Which TV show or film has what you consider interior design eye candy?

Honestly, I think TV shows about design are some kind of fun but they deliver to people an idea of design that is totally unreal.. A remodel cannot be done overnight and at a very cheap price! On the other hand, there are a lot of movies that have beautiful, interesting interiors. I particularly love interiors from the 70s and the 80s. They have a big fascination with me.

7. What is your favorite design magazine or blog, and why?

I regularly read Dezeen, Remodelista, and various design blogs. I also regularly buy architectural/design magazine Dwell, and others depending in which country I am.

8. What is the best thing about being an interior designer?

Having the capacity to envision and transform the space, I think it’s kind of magic! It’s such an exciting feeling to see your vision come to life! And, of course, helping people to realize their dream space- it’s very important to live in an inspiring and beautiful environment.

9. What was your first big project, and what was your favorite part?

A home remodel in Paris that I did about 12 years ago. It was my first personal project all by myself – at the time, I was still working with architecture agencies. The customer had a very particular and sophisticated taste and trusted in me to realize her dream retreat in Paris – I was thrilled, and I spent so much time searching every detail of that house.

10. How do you manage challenges that come up during a design project?

I always try to protect the customer first and assume the responsibilities myself – the key is to find good rational solutions to mediate and solve the situation. There is always a rational way out!
