About Me
The Story Behind Vintage Honey Co.
I’ve always been drawn to the spaces that make you feel something — a centuries-old fresco, the worn stone steps of a French village, a boutique hotel where every detail has a story.
Before founding Vintage Honey Co., I spent years designing educational art experiences inside museums, working alongside curators, archaeologists, and artists. Those years shaped how I see the world — and how I design.
I learned that beauty is not just visual. It’s emotional. It’s sensory. It’s layered.
Today, I bring that same curator’s eye to residential interiors, blending history, texture, and lived-in elegance to create homes that feel warm, storied, and deeply grounded.
​
Vintage Honey Co. is a boutique interior design studio focused on creating warm, lived-in, and deeply personal homes. Before becoming a designer, I spent years in the museum world, including building educational and public programs at the Getty Villa and other museums, which shaped the way I see space, materials, and the stories objects carry. My approach is grounded in history, craftsmanship, and the belief that a home should feel meaningful and lived with, not decorated all at once.​

Why the Scarab Logo?
People often ask about the significance of the scarab in my logo. For me, it’s deeply personal. My love for ancient history, especially Egypt, has always been a source of inspiration, and the scarab, a symbol of rebirth and renewal, felt like the perfect emblem for my journey into design.
​
But there’s another layer to it. My mother, who shared my love of ancient Egypt and design, instilled in me a deep appreciation for both. This scarab is a tribute to her and a reminder that sometimes, our paths aren’t linear, but they always lead us to where we’re meant to be. I like to think that in every space I design, there’s a quiet nod to history, art, and the enduring beauty of the past, woven seamlessly into the present.

A Philosophy Rooted in Story + Intention

I don’t design by trend.I design by narrative.Each home is approached like an exhibit: a thoughtful arrangement of materials, colors, motifs, and personal elements that carry meaning.Your travels.Your rituals.Your memories.Your future moments.All woven together into a home that feels deeply luxurious in a boutique, human, soulful way.
