Philosophy
At House of Aurelia, we believe the most meaningful spaces don’t declare themselves — they emerge.
Our work begins with careful observation: to a home's architecture, to its light, to the people who live within. Through this, we uncover what is essential, not just stylistically, but emotionally and energetically.
Every project is an act of composition, not decoration. We favor texture over trend, soul over spectacle, and restraint over excess. When complete, our spaces feel as if they have always been there — quietly resonant, quietly right.
A Note from the Founder
It’s a privilege to help clients shape the homes they long for—places that feel layered, comforting, and deeply lived in. Every project is a study in balance: of beauty and utility, heritage and modernity, memory and mood.
My background spans full-home renovations to intimate room compositions, with early experience at luxury interior design firms and in corporate consulting. That foundation shaped how I work—with clarity, empathy, and a deep respect for structure. I see my role not just as a designer, but as a steward of process, helping guide projects with care from concept to completion.
After years living in cities across the country, I’m grateful to now call San Francisco home. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me at the stables in Sonoma County, sifting through a vintage showroom, or mapping out my next sourcing trip to Italy.
