About Me
The Story Behind Vintage Honey Co.
I have always been drawn to spaces that hold a sense of history and presence. Places where materials, craftsmanship, and collected objects quietly tell 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 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 do not design around trends. I design around the macro-sentiment of a home. The deeper feeling created by how someone lives, moves, and grows within a space.
​
Materials, color, pattern, and layout are chosen not only for beauty but for how they support daily life. Function matters just as much as feeling. A home should work for the way you live today and remain flexible enough to evolve with you over time.
​
I prioritize enduring materials that age gracefully and develop character. Your travels, rituals, memories, and future moments all layer together to create a home that feels collected, grounded, and deeply personal.
