Translating vision into
environments people remember.
Concept Direction · Pre-Concept Deck
Client program translated into a five-zone destination narrative — visualized through Midjourney art direction and curated research.
Full Scope — Concept through CD
Full-scope resort renovation from concept through construction documents — lobby, dining, guestrooms and casitas organized around the rhythm of the day.
Concept · Architecture · Renderings
A bespoke recording suite conceived as a complete spatial experience — walnut, layered ceilings, amber glass, and a ritualized entry called The Interlude.
Concept · FF&E · Millwork Drawings
A private members' environment inside a New York office — walnut paneling, marble bar, vinyl and speaker wall. Designed to earn extended time and genuine ownership.
Full Scope — Concept through CA
Nature-forward luxury hotel where biophilic design meets urban sophistication. Full FF&E program from concept through construction administration — including purchase orders and shop drawing review.
Lobby Redesign · Residential Amenity
Lobby redesign as the centrepiece of a residential building in a then-developing DC neighbourhood — anchored by an indoor waterfall feature. Seen through to completion. The building is now among the most sought-after addresses in the city.
Full Scope — Concept through CA · F&B Village
Four distinct F&B venues within the Vidanta resort village — each with its own identity, all coherent as one branded destination. The most hands-on project in this portfolio, including an international site visit and local vendor procurement.
I came up through firms that held design to an uncompromising standard — each shaping a different dimension of how I think: rigor and material depth from cultural and civic work, theatrical intelligence from entertainment and hospitality, then the full craft of large-scale resort delivery.
My work spans resort hospitality, entertainment, wellness, and cultural spaces. The through-line is always the same — translating vision into environments that shift behavior, earn loyalty, and make people feel something they didn't expect.
I work across the full project lifecycle: from pulling design intent out of a client brief and making it visible, to coordinating the construction documentation that brings those ideas to life.
