Kitchen + Bathroom + Closet
Good work looks inevitable.
Behind it are a hundred decisions, each made at the right time.
HOW I’M BROUGHT IN
Developers and builders bring me in to guide the fitted interiors across a project. Architects and interior designers bring me in to support that part of their work, under their name. Owners bring me in to have an experienced advisor on their side.
Whatever the title, the role is the same: I advise, and I stay with the project until it is finished.
WHAT I BRING
Knowledge.
The trade from the inside: how things are made, priced, shipped and installed, and the reasons behind each step.
Foresight.
Problems are cheapest before they exist. Knowing the sequence of a project, I see them coming and plan them out.
Relationships.
Makers, showrooms, logistics specialists, installers, designers and builders I have known for years, and who know me. Introductions are made with care.
EXPERIENCE
For almost forty years I have worked in kitchen, bathroom and interior cabinetry, from every side of the trade.
I began in England in the mid-1980s, in the warehouse and then on the showroom floor. In 1988 I moved to the United States and built my career in sales, including a period with Snaidero. Poliform then recruited me as a Regional Manager, and as part of its national strategy team I helped build the company’s American operation, its logistics, showrooms and sales technology.
In 2012 I founded my own design company in Pasadena. Its first major commission was an 11,000 square foot residence in Beverly Hills. In the years that followed I represented some of Italy’s finest makers, Ernestomeda, Rimadesio, Antonio Lupi and Molteni&C | Dada, and delivered complete interiors for private residences and hospitality, with my own warehouse, installation and millwork.
Over those years we delivered the fitted interiors for hundreds of private homes, and for more than two hundred residences across multi-family developments in Los Angeles, from 16 units to 78.
Whether it is a single home or an entire development, you work with me, from the first conversation to the final walk-through.

HOW IT BEGINS
A conversation.
Tell me about your project.
A look at the plans.
Drawings, the site, or both.
A clear proposal.
Scope, approach and next steps, in writing.

FOR MANUFACTURERS
I am always glad to hear from makers whose work belongs in the projects I advise on, and from those growing in the American market, where I have built showrooms, dealer networks and sales teams from the inside.
