I grew up across Europe, America, and Asia, a journey that shaped my eye and taught me to see interiors through culture, contrast, and dialogue. Before founding Insighter, I spent over 20 years in the international art world, with leading roles at Christie’s New York, Drouot Paris, and collaborations with galleries and collections across Europe.

Today, I bring this experience into the world of interiors : sourcing eclectic objects from different eras and cultures, and composing spaces that feel authentic, personal, and artfully composed. Through a balance of material, color, and composition, each project becomes a living ensemble — a story that belongs uniquely to you.
