55EAST | PHILOSOPHY

​

​​​

My intent in founding 55East was to cultivate creative expression through curated eclecticism — a thoughtful interplay of influences that lies at the heart of the collections.

​

I find beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and authenticity by honoring things that are humble, handmade, irregular, and transient. There is an elegance in natural materials, and a quiet nobility that feels timeless.​

​

 I like to explore the art of harmony — where living spaces meet the natural elements of light, water, metal, and wood, creating an effortless balance.

​

Neuroinclusivity and energetics are also central to my design.  Creating emotional and sensory comfort, enhancing focus, and enabling you and your loved ones to feel safe, productive, and at ease in your homes is of the utmost importance to me.

​

Thank you for your support.
