Your Life Is the Blueprint
People often ask me, “What’s your design style?”And the honest answer is —
I don’t have just one.
Because true luxury interior design isn’t about applying a style. It’s about uncovering yours. It’s about translating your memories, culture, rituals, and identity into a space that reflects you not the latest Pinterest trend.
When I enter a project, I don’t start with Pinterest boards or material palettes. I start with people. I ask questions no catalog can answer — about your past, your daily rituals, your childhood home, your favorite textures, your culture, your aspirations.
I listen to your story, and then I begin to translate it into space.
How I Translate Your Story Into Interior Design
How I Translate Your Story Into Interior Design
Whether you're a family relocating to Israel, a couple designing your forever home, or a developer preparing a luxury apartment for sale, my design always starts with your story.
I listen carefully. I ask questions like:
What did home feel like as a child?
What colors calm you?
What are the textures you reach for?
Where do you imagine yourself unwinding after a long day?
These conversations shape everything — from the floor plan to the finish on the drawer handles. Because design that means something lasts longer than design that just looks good.
Each of us carries layers: Where we come from. Where we are. Where we’re headed.
In my work, I treat every home as a canvas — not to decorate, but to compose.
To reflect who you are, and even more, who you want to be in that space.
If you’re a family with young children, I’ll think about how a home can feel elegant but forgiving. If you’re an international couple relocating to Israel, I’ll weave familiar textures or symbols into your new environment — not as decoration, but as emotional anchors.
If you’re a restaurateur, I’ll ask what your food feels like before even touching a floor plan.
Because for me, design is about translation. Not from language to language but from life to space.
What That Looks Like in Practice
A recent client told me she wanted her new home to “feel like Tel Aviv, but calmer.”
As we spoke, I learned about her grandmother’s apartment, barefoot dinners on a tiled balcony, and a love for textures that felt lived-in but elegant.
The final design included:
Warm oak cabinetry
Curved furniture with linen and bouclé
Handmade ceramic lighting
And a subtle minty green — the same as her grandmother’s teacups.
She cried when she walked in.
That’s when I knew: the space didn’t just look good. It held her story.
Designing With Depth
Luxury is Not Loud. It’s Personal.
Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by choices. They’ve seen too many catalogs, followed too many influencers, and they don’t know what actually fits them.
That’s where I step in — to clear the noise and bring focus.
My approach is quiet, refined, emotional. It’s less about decorating and more about distilling.
My approach doesn’t start with trends — it starts with truth. I’ve worked with real estate developers, families, restaurant owners, boutique businesses. No two were alike. But every time, the result was a space that felt like them — elevated, intentional, timeless.
You don’t need to have “design language” to work with me. You don’t need to know the difference between travertine and terrazzo. You just need to tell me your story — and trust that I’ll know how to bring it to life.
Because I’m not just here to make spaces pretty.
I’m here to make them personal. Powerful. Yours.
