They practiced with firms in New York, Pittsburgh, Switzerland, and Vermont before opening their own office.

DELIGHT in the process. Live in HARMONY. You want something that doesn’t exist - yet. You don’t know quite what it is. I live in this world - in the future - imagining potential moments big and small. How the afternoon sun warms a corner of your room inviting you to cozy up with a book. How you move about with ease and comfort. What frames your view in everyday activities. These moments, when pored over and cultured with intention, create what I call a luxury of the senses. It isn’t about money, brands, or showing off, it is about you and living amongst beauty.
