what is turquoise koi ?

turquoise koi represents one aesthetic vision coming together under one brand. No matter if I’m staging, designing or painting the goal is

{create a moment to rest in beauty, re-engage with the senses and experience delight in the everyday}

turquoise koi is all that I love visually in one cohesive look. Colorful eclectic modern vibes, the perfect mix of new and old, influenced by abstract art and  bespoke decor. Streamlined cool meets vintage finds and cozy touches, creating a multi-dimensional feel.

Of all the design elements, color is the most important. Color viscerally connects to mood and is the most powerful tool to elevate spaces. That being said, it only works effectively with the correct neutrality surrounding it: the edit is important.

{I’m inspired by the ephemeral nature of staging and visual merchandising; the constant reimagining of spaces}

I believe interior design and art should be cycled and constantly curated as well; the dynamism makes even the most familiar spaces inspiring and fresh with each new season of life.
