Breathing New Life into Old Treasures: A Conversation with La Source
There’s something deeply magical about giving history a second chance — the way a timeworn wooden table can anchor a modern space, or a perfectly patinated mirror can reflect more than just light, but stories.
As I work on a special design project in the South of France, I find myself once again drawn to the rich textures, soulful imperfections, and lasting beauty of antique pieces. Not only do they bring character to a space, but they represent a sustainable, thoughtful way to furnish a home — one that respects the past while creating something deeply personal in the present.

Understanding Design Psychology - How Interiors Affect Mood
Before considering how a space will look. I always like to consider how you want it to make you feel first! Maybe an entire home will be cohesive and transmit the same vibe throughout or perhaps you like to have a lot of variety to create different spaces for different moods and activities. Like a dark and moody room for movies or reading vs a bright and open area for gathering and entertaining. Luxury interior design is more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating an atmosphere that influences emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.
The psychology of design plays a pivotal role in shaping how spaces make us feel, from relaxation and comfort to inspiration and energy. Understanding these psychological principles allows designers to curate spaces that enhance both mood and functionality.

HOMECOMING | A Global Photographic Journey of Finding Home wherever you are
Homecoming is a global nature photography series born from a deeply personal journey of seeking and redefining “home” in the world’s wild places. From the wind-swept shores of Miami to the quiet hillsides of Scotland, each photograph captures a different face of Mother Nature, revealing something essential about resilience, belonging, and rootedness. As I traveled across continents, designing homes for others while often far from my own, I came to realize that “home” is more than a place—it’s a feeling that can be found within us and within the landscapes that shape us.
Among the series, Why Do Palm Trees Sway?, taken in Miami, speaks to the strength and flexibility of nature in times of turbulence. Watching palm trees sway through storms, I saw a reminder of resilience—a quality that we, too, are called upon to embody in life’s uncertain moments. Stillness Whispers, captured in the serene English countryside, is an homage to the quiet wisdom nature shares when we pause to listen. In contrast, Grounded Roots, an image of a mist-shrouded oak in Scotland, conveys a profound sense of groundedness, standing proud and resolute against the ever-changing landscape around it.
