Describe your personal style. Where do you seek inspiration?

My personal style is eclectic, colourful and could fit in many different eras. More than seeking inspiration, I find it - I feel in specific ways that I find it unconsciously through my style and choices.

What do you find to be indulgent? What's your guiltiest pleasure?

I’d say I indulge in shoes and art books. My guiltiest pleasure lately has been the TV show Cobra Kai!

Favourite corner of your home? Design touch you're most proud of?

I like my bookshelves a lot because I use them as a mood board. I place different objects, photos, books and plants in ways that inspire me and I change it around every other day.

What does the art of entertaining look like to you?

My essentials for entertaining are: prepare some nice food and drinks before the guests arrive, find a moment to relax and finally, jump in the pool! Everybody has fun when the host is having fun! I like medium gatherings, eight to twenty people is my sweet spot.

If you were to host a tea party for three people, living or dead, who would they be and why?

Miranda July, Paul Thomas Anderson and Kandinsky.
