Can you share a bit about your background and what initially inspired you to pursue a career in design and luxury living? My journey into design and luxury living began at a young age when I realized the profound impact design can have on our emotions. For me, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that evoke peace, abundance, and joy. Growing up, my home was my sanctuary, my heaven on earth, and I understood early on that the environment we live in shapes our daily experiences and overall happiness. Luxury living, to me, isn’t about the price tag. It’s about embracing the beauty of everyday life, from savoring a quiet morning in a beautifully designed space to creating a home that offers comfort and elegance in every detail. I believe everyone can achieve a sense of luxury by creating beautiful, meaningful spaces that enhance their well-being.
Imagine walking into a home that truly reflects your personality and brings you a sense of calm and happiness every day. That’s the transformative power of design.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your living space or embark on a complete redesign, I am passionate about creating environments that inspire and elevate your everyday life. But my passion for design extends beyond interiors; it’s about curating a lifestyle that brings joy and fulfillment. The vibrant boating culture in Miami is a perfect extension of this lifestyle. Owning a boat not only provides a luxurious escape but also enhances your well-being. Imagine the thrill of setting sail on a vessel that reflects your style, offering a serene and exhilarating getaway. It’s an investment in a lifestyle that elevates your everyday experiences.
What was the defining moment that led to the creation of Eclectic Elements and Sexy Bedding™️? The defining moment for creating Eclectic Elements came from my deep passion for transformation. I believe that everything in life is about transformation—transforming your home, your mind, and your body. With Eclectic Elements, my design firm and furniture showroom, I found a way to channel my love for creation and transformation into making people happy. I thrive on creating spaces that radiate joy and positivity. When I design a home, I envision a place where every detail brings happiness and a sense of peace. Being a very social person, I cherish the interactions and connections I make with clients, turning their dreams into beautiful realities.
Sexy Bedding™️ was born from the idea that people need to truly value their sleep and redefine what it means to feel sexy. True confidence and sexiness come from within, and it starts with taking care of yourself. Sleep is a crucial part of self-love and discipline. With Sexy Bedding, I aim to enhance people’s sleep quality, which directly impacts their health and happiness. When people wake up feeling refreshed and walk into a beautifully designed home, their entire day is transformed.
Everything I do is centered around bringing joy and happiness to people. By working with me, you’re not just getting a designer; you’re getting someone who is passionate about creating spaces that inspire and uplift. I invite you to transform your living environment with Eclectic Elements and enhance your well-being with Sexy Bedding. Let’s create a life full of beauty, comfort, and joy together.
Whether it’s redesigning your home to become your personal sanctuary or experiencing the unmatched joy of boating in Miami, I invite you to join me in creating beautiful, inspiring spaces and moments. Together, we can transform your living environment and enhance your lifestyle, making every day a luxurious and joyful experience.
You host many events at your showroom, Amare Casa. Can you describe one memorable event and its impact on your guests? Hosting events at my waterfront residence, Amare Casa, is always a joy for me because I love bringing like-minded people together to inspire and connect. One of the most memorable events was when I hosted Deepak Chopra. He spoke for an hour, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone. The energy in the room was incredible, and guests walked away feeling inspired, having made new connections, and having experienced a truly beautiful moment. This event perfectly encapsulated my passion for creating experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Sexy Bedding™️ is designed to evoke both romance and rest. What was your creative process in developing this premium bed sheet brand? My creative process for Sexy Bedding™️ was all about capturing the vibrant and alluring spirit of Miami, which is known as the hottest, sexiest city in the USA. I wanted a brand that would immediately grab people’s attention and ignite their curiosity. The name “Sexy Bedding” is designed to do just that—it’s a bold, enticing name that sparks interest.
But beyond the initial allure, my goal was to emphasize the importance of sleep. Sleep is the foundation of confidence and well-being, and I wanted to create a brand that helps people value their rest. Life begins in the sheets, and quality sleep is essential for healing and rejuvenating the body.
My branding incorporates the symbol of the Flower of Life, representing sacred geometry and the interconnectedness of all life, to remind people of the deeper, holistic value of rest and rejuvenation. I aimed for a blend of class, elegance, and undeniable sexiness, fitting perfectly with the bedroom’s intimate nature.
Sexy Bedding™️ is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and creating an environment that enhances both romance and rest. In a city as dynamic and lively as Miami, it felt right to create a brand that embodies both the excitement of the city and the essential tranquility of a good night’s sleep.
You’ve worked with a variety of high-profile clients. How do you tailor your designs to meet the unique tastes and needs of each client? Every client is unique, and my approach to design is deeply personalized. I start by sitting down with them to understand who they are, what they need, and how they live. It’s much like a therapy session where I get to know their desires, preferences, and lifestyle. This conversation allows me to make their home a true reflection of themselves.
My goal is to bring joy and happiness into their daily lives through design. I see my role as giving them the “medicine” they need—the right furniture and decor that will enhance their well-being and make them feel good every day. It’s about more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating spaces that evoke positive emotions and a sense of peace.
I infuse a sense of spirituality into my designs, ensuring that each space feels harmonious and aligned with the client’s personal energy. By understanding their unique tastes and needs, I can create environments that not only look beautiful but also feel right, making them feel good every time they walk through their door. My ultimate aim is to bring joy and elevate their everyday living experience.
You’re very active in giving back to the community through charity events and mentoring. How do these activities shape your personal and professional life? For me, life is about continuous learning and sharing that knowledge with others. I’m a master connector and a Multiplier and I find immense joy in bringing people together and making them happy. When I share what I’ve learned and see others flourish, it raises the collective frequency and creates a ripple effect of positivity and happiness.
Giving back is integral to who I am. It’s about growth and contribution, which are the cornerstones of my happiness. By connecting with and supporting the community, I not only uplift others but also nourish my own soul. There’s a profound spiritual aspect to this—when you give back, you’re actually helping yourself, too. It’s scientifically proven that acts of kindness can rejuvenate your DNA and improve your health, creating a virtuous cycle of well-being.
These activities enrich both my personal and professional life by fostering a deeper sense of purpose and connection. They remind me that true success is measured not just by what you achieve, but by how much you contribute to the happiness and growth of those around you.
You live by the mantra “live, learn, and grow.” Can you share some daily practices or routines that help you stay inspired and motivated? My daily practices are essential for staying inspired and motivated. Each morning, I watch the sunrise, meditate, and do breath work. I drink fresh juices, have a healthy breakfast, and train every day. Self-care is a non-negotiable part of my routine, as it keeps me happy and inspired. I believe that every day is a new beginning, and I live by the philosophy of inspired living—creating new experiences, building businesses, and sharing with friends and family. Taking time for myself each day is crucial because you must master self-care before you can inspire and uplift others.
What are some upcoming projects or initiatives that you’re excited about and can share with us?
I’m thrilled about several exciting projects on the horizon. I’m currently working on my second book, “Life By Design: Mastering the Art of Building Win-Win Relationships.” My first book, “Life by Design,” is a transformation guide that empowers people to create the life they love, and this new book continues that journey by exploring the power of positive, transformative relationships.
In addition to my writing, I’m involved in numerous hotel and real estate projects, both in the U.S. and the islands. These ventures allow me to bring my vision of inspired living to a broader audience, creating beautiful, transformative spaces that uplift and inspire.
I’m also a strategic partner and ambassador for Sessa Yachts, a role that combines my passion for design and luxury living with my love for the sea. This partnership allows me to help clients experience the ultimate in yachting luxury and lifestyle.
As a boat broker and investor, I’m continually exploring new opportunities and collaborations in the real estate and hospitality sectors. Each project is an exciting chance to innovate and inspire, and I can’t wait to share these experiences with others.
I’m also excited to be partnering and collaborating with Armina Stone, a one-stop solution provider for stone, cabinetry, and custom kitchen and closet designs. For me, the stone elements in a home are incredibly important because they form the foundation of inspired living. Your house is your vision board; it’s essential that every element, from the kitchen countertops to the bathroom surfaces, inspires and elevates your daily life. Just as a beautiful yacht experience can refresh your mind and soul, so too can a thoughtfully designed home with exquisite stone features.
There’s always something new and exciting on the horizon, and I look forward to connecting with those who share my passion for creating beautiful, meaningful experiences.
Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most people might not know? A fun fact is my deep love for water sports. There’s something thrilling about being out on the water, where every wave holds a new adventure. I’m drawn to the mystical and magical parts of life, always exploring the energy of other dimensions. The ocean is my playground and sanctuary, where I connect with both nature and the unseen. I believe life is like a series of doors, each opening to new experiences and thrills. Which door will we walk through today? What excitement will we find? This passion for discovery and the water’s mysteries fuels my creativity and keeps my spirit vibrant and alive, always ready to share that excitement with others.
