From Unused Basement to a Calm Cozy Lounge and Studio: Designing Our Design Studio (The Unplugged Story)

Project Hillpine: A Chic Parisian Café Townhouse Transformation (With Minimal Renovation!) Organic Modern Chic Home Furnishing Ideas

Every interior design studio has a story. Ours began long before Design & Curations existed, long before the first install, the first mood board, or the first client call. It began in conference rooms, brand strategy sessions, project plans, and years of leading teams and creating clarity inside highly structured corporate environments.

We are thrilled to share that Design & Curations has been featured in LUXE Interiors + Design Southeast — a true dream come true. What began as a personal passion rooted in empathy, functionality, and my Mediterranean heritage has grown into a team of five dedicated designers. This milestone is more than recognition; it’s a celebration of meaningful design, gratitude, and the journey of creating soulful, timeless homes.

Step inside Project Riverside — a full main floor renovation with an organic modern design. See how we transformed the kitchen, living room, dining room, and more into a calm, cozy, and functional family home.

Named a Designer to Watch by Modern Luxury, I’ve officially gone all in—leaving corporate life to grow Design & Curations!
