Old-world Sicily may be at the edge of Europe, but it’s always been at the center of my heart. Its layering of styles and influences was my early introduction into this world of beauty and the inspiration for my businesses.

My interest in design started at age 14 when my mother, who was born in Sicily, and my dad, who was from Naples, took me on a trip to the Mediterranean.

It left an indelible mark that led me to France and the lavender fields of Provence, where my passion for design, art and flowers bloomed into my styling business, where I source unique objects, lighting and textiles to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
