About Jo

I am crazy about colors and am passionate about creating spaces that feel as good as they look.
I strongly believe in the importance of studying the influence of colors on our perceptions and behaviors.

Having a father that worked as an interior architect and a mother who knew better than anyone how to lovingly welcome guests in her home, I have always been immersed in the world of decoration and homemaking since I was a child.

In 2006, I moved to Paris to pursue fashion design and since then have worked on numerous styling and interior design projects where my love for forms, textures and colors are brought to life.

As you can imagine, colors take centerstage in my work as a designer and visual storyteller.
