Founder & Principal Shawna Kalish brings a sophisticated, stylish eye to projects both large and small. A one-of-a-kind designer whose expertise in various creative disciplines including editorial creative direction, prop styling, graphic design, event planning and fashion styling deeply informs her approach to interior design. She sees beyond conventional solutions, drawing on a rich visual language, a keen understanding of composition and materials, and a refined sense of storytelling. The results are interiors that are not only beautiful but also deeply considered—where form and function are seamlessly integrated, and every detail serves a purpose. By blending expertise across creative fields, she brings fresh insight, innovative problem-solving, and a unique artistic sensibility to every project, ensuring that every space designed is as distinctive as the people who live in it.

This unique skill set allows Shawna and her team to excel at creating contemporary luxury through a refined aesthetic, balancing comfort, style and functionality. Clients benefit from her elevated design aesthetic as well as her exceptional project management and problem solving skills mastered during her 15 years art directing and producing photo shoots for the magazine industry in New York City.
