Interior design for Pacific Palisades and Malibu homes, from plans through construction and furnishing. I work with your architect and builder to bring the interior together.
Rebuilding brings a great deal to consider. Alongside the plans and construction, there are personal decisions: what you want to bring back, what you want to do differently, and how you want to live in the house.
I help you work through those decisions. I start with your routines, the rooms you spend time in, and the things that matter to you. From there, the materials, lighting, cabinetry, and furnishings take shape together.
You may be reviewing plans or already under construction. I work with your existing team, beginning with a clear understanding of what is in place and where I can help.
Residential interiors shaped around the setting and the people who live there. Explore the materials and details of the Malibu oceanfront villa.
I came to interior design from real estate development. I grew up around job sites and have worked in development since 2011, so I read a drawing set the way your builder does: for sequence, cost, and what has to be decided before the next trade arrives.
That is what a rebuild needs from its interior designer. Lighting locations, blocking, plumbing rough-in, and cabinetry dimensions are set before drywall. I make sure the interior decisions are ready when your builder needs them, not after.

The scope is set to fit your home and its stage of construction. I coordinate the interior design with your architect, builder, and specialist trades.
A builder’s allowance is a starting point. I review what it covers, the selections you are considering, and any costs that sit elsewhere in the project.
Cabinetry, stone, appliances, installation, and furnishings need to be understood in context. I separate builder allowances, interior purchases, and design fees so you can see how the proposed scope fits your overall budget.
Design fees are outlined in a proposal before work begins. Materials and furnishings are priced for your project and submitted for approval before purchasing.
Stone, tile, flooring, plaster, and paint, considered together and sampled in the light of your home. Drawings and finish schedules give your builder a clear reference.
Kitchens, dressing rooms, built-ins, and paneling designed around how you use each room. I coordinate dimensions and shop drawings with the people making and installing them.
Lighting that works for everyday life, from preparing dinner to a quiet evening. Fixtures, controls, plumbing fittings, and appliances are coordinated with the relevant trades.
Furniture, rugs, window treatments, and the pieces that make a room personal. Purchasing and installation are planned alongside the construction schedule.
Tell me about the house, the plans, and where things stand. I learn what you need and whether the studio is the right fit.
I review your drawings, visit the site, and develop the layouts, materials, and furnishings as one plan. The scope and design fees are agreed before work begins.
Selections, drawings, and specifications are shared with your architect and builder. I confirm pricing and approvals, then sequence orders around the build.
I stay involved through the agreed site coordination and installation, arranging furnishings and the final details as the home becomes ready.
While plans are being developed is a good time to start. If construction is already underway, I begin by reviewing what has been decided and what is still open. Before drywall, I can coordinate details such as lighting locations and cabinetry blocking with your team. After drywall, I work within the approved construction and discuss any changes with you before proceeding.
Yes. I join your existing team, with a clear scope for the interiors. Your architect and builder continue to lead the architecture, permits, structure, and construction. My studio provides interior drawings, selections, and specifications, and coordinates the agreed design work with them.
I ask about your home, where the rebuild stands, and the help you need. If you have plans, an allowance sheet, or a construction schedule, those are useful starting points. The complimentary 20-minute conversation helps us both see whether the project is a good fit and what the next step should be.
Design fees depend on the agreed scope and are set out in a proposal before work begins. I review the builder’s allowances separately from furnishings and other interior purchases, checking what each allowance includes. Selections are priced against your project so you can approve the costs before orders are placed.
Yes. The scope can include furniture, rugs, window treatments, decorative lighting, art placement, and styling. I plan these with the interior finishes and coordinate purchasing and installation around site readiness and confirmed delivery dates.
Yes. I work with homeowners rebuilding in both. I consider the light, the setting, and the way you live when developing the interior, and review which materials suit the conditions at your property.
The schedule depends on the construction stage, design scope, approvals, and supplier lead times. After reviewing your builder’s schedule, I identify the decisions and orders that need attention first and agree on a realistic sequence with the team.
