Perhaps unusually for a Californian baby, I was nursed in a Hans Wegner rocking chair. My Danish mother loved creating homes: first in a Scandinavian style, then in the Mediterranean house we built in a coastal California village, with tiles from Spain and chandeliers from France.

I began studying building and art history alongside economics at Columbia University, in New York City. There, I plunged head-first into the classical proportions of Bramante and Michelangelo, and the brutal beauty and exuberant materiality of America’s pre-Columbian civilisations.

Over the following two decades in London, Paris, and Brussels, I deepened that education through great houses and Art Nouveau gems — even studying friends' homes, ranging from freshly renovated London townhouses and flats, to chateaus 300 years old and layered with generations of personality. As a member of the Young Georgians and through other pursuits, I've come to believe that beauty comes from proportion. Individual style is how it’s expressed.

My early work in interiors found expression designing, furnishing, and renovating my own homes with growing focus and ambition. Studying interior design at Chelsea College of Arts wasn't a change of course so much as an acknowledgement of one, and the moment a private pursuit became a professional one.

In Good Proportion sits at the intersection of two minds: the creative mind that has spent decades inside the architecture and interiors of Europe, and the analytical mind that studied economics and spent a corporate career understanding how people function.

The result for clients is homes that are beautiful, considered, and built with conviction around the people who live in them, underpinned by a process that is structured, transparent, and centred on your needs.
