Recent travels to Dubai, Bangkok, Seoul and Shanghai have offered a welcome reminder of why we do what we do. In each city, amid the energy of contemporary art fairs and design gatherings, I found myself returning to the same feeling: a renewed sense of possibility. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing how global makers are shaping beauty with intention — and how their work resonates across cultures.

That sense of momentum has followed me home. It’s deepened my commitment to offering world-class, personalized service, the kind that anticipates needs and celebrates the nuance of every project. And it’s reinforced the value of partnering with creators like Van Rossum, Tribu, Declourt Collection, and Man of Parts, who are genuinely invested in hand-detailed design, impeccable craftsmanship, and pieces crafted with the planet in mind.

As we look ahead, I’m energized by the conversations still to come — and the spaces we’ll shape together.
