I want to begin by saying how grateful I am to Thais Roda, the team at Liaigre Miami, and everyone who joined us for such a beautifully hosted and thoughtful private evening.
This presentation was intentionally different for me. Interior design has been my life’s work for more than thirty years, but that night was not really about the projects. It was about the people behind the work. I wanted to speak honestly about wellness, balance, leadership, and what it means to take care of ourselves in a profession that is incredibly rewarding, yet incredibly demanding.
I shared personal experiences and lessons that have shaped how I design, how I lead, and how I live today. I also walked guests through my journey as a product designer, from furniture and lighting to outdoor collections, and my rug and pillow collaboration with Perennials. It is a partnership I deeply believe in for its innovation, durability, and beauty. Seeing those pieces displayed inside the Liaigre Miami showroom made the evening even more meaningful.
More than anything, the night was about honoring designers, creatives, and business owners. It was about acknowledging the energy we give every single day and reminding ourselves that caring for our well-being is essential.
Thank you to everyone who came, listened, and shared in the conversation. I truly hope you left feeling supported, encouraged, and reminded of how important you are.
