My sourcing trip to Zona Maco, In Mexico City, was nothing short of magic. It took me some time to unwrap the experience, and finally, I was reminded of my grandmother’s pot and of her hands that lovingly crafted so many memorable meals. The deeper I delved into Mexican design, the more it resonated with me that design possesses the power to connect us with our inner selves and shape our identity.

I have long dreamed of attending the largest international design exhibitions held biannually in Paris, Maison & Objet and Paris Deco Off. Both trade shows present the newest innovations in materials, methods, furniture, lighting, rugs, textiles, and décor, offering designers the opportunity to learn, view, and order products before they arrive in the US market.

2024 marked the year, and who better to take with me than my Francophile mom, who appreciates design, art, and unpasteurized cheese as much as I do.

Through the pivots and changes, we reflected on what mattered most to us as a firm and what makes us different. With that in mind, we have taken a bold step forward to define our unique vision, our beliefs, and how to translate our values into bringing purposeful design to our clients.
