Since I was a young girl, I was keenly aware of my surroundings. I was so affected by my immediate environment, that I would start moving furniture around until I felt better about the room in general. I’m sure this drove my parents crazy, but I was always experimenting with different layouts, colors and textures. I had initially aspired to work in fashion, but my curiosity about design was constant.
What makes a space work? What feelings does it invoke? Why doesn’t this space work and how would I change it? How do the principles and beliefs of other cultures translate into their interiors? My mother is from Southeast Asia and my father’s family hails from Eastern Europe. They always encouraged me to travel. Like my parents, I began collecting things from around the world. I am most inspired by objects and interiors that have a soul - a history, a story, and a function. How we bring such objects into our everyday lives is my inspiration for Modern Nomad Home + Studio. We source from France, Australia, Japan, Morocco, Turkey, India, the UK, etc.
I am most happy traveling and exploring...connecting with people and learning how they experience and create beauty in their everyday lives. Most of us spend the majority of our lives in a 10-mile radius. Modern Nomad Home + Studio is my way of bringing that sense of wonder and exploration home.
