About the host

Host profile image
An international interior designer and artist throughout my career, I specialize in seamlessly blending style influences from diverse cultures and eras. My primary focus - elevating my guests' vacation through thoughtfully crafted home interiors which brings a sense of balance and harmony. The story I convey through my art and design has to feel authentic and true. As an artist, I like to push the boundaries to create a new world by using unconventional means to present functional and decorative displays. I am a "Creative" that is thrilled about sharing my personal domain and my artwork with you! I see the house as much more than a vacation retreat; I envision it as an Art sanctuary, artist residency and cultural interior. This home has been a labor of love and a design fantasy come true. I sincerely wish for your enjoyment of the space. I grew up internationally, living and traveling around the globe throughout an array of countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the USA. I come from a strong artistic background, all the more strengthened while endlessly influenced by diverse cultures during the course of my travels. My grandmother- a well-known Belgian artist painter inspired me to become who I am today. After high school, I moved to Bordeaux France, studying design and languages. I then had the opportunity to move to the United States and continued studying design in Chicago, graduating with a bachelor’s degree of fine art and interior design at the Harrington Institute of Interior Design. I have years of experience working with both Model home and Retail companies along with a strong history of Customer Experience in the US. 2021-2022- I spent a year remodeling my home solo with the help of Utube :) All my art is my custom creativity to compliment the design of the interior spaces. I am excited to share the design and hospitality experience with my guests and look forward to building deliberate and meaningful friendships.
