About Monica
Monica comes from an exceptionally rich artistic, visual and aesthetic lineage. Her decision to practice interdisciplinary design is an organic response to and is deeply informed by these creative roots. Her lifelong appreciation of the Arts, Nature, Jazz and Modernity – all inspire her practice and excellence in the broad array of artistic realms, applied arts and design expertise.
Assisting clients in achieving their project design goals, while building confidence in the decision-making processes necessary to attain their vision, is a unique and gratifying aspect of Monica’s approach. She doesn’t impose a preconceived concept on a project, but instead interprets her client’s vision into personalized, enduring design solutions. Monica enjoys guiding and facilitating client projects – including buffering the otherwise time-sensitive, often stressful experience of remodeling or changing an environment, so it becomes a more rewarding and expansive experience for clients.
Monica believes in, and practices, a ‘compositional’ and holistic approach to design – which includes the measured and informed use of color, the emphasis on visual interest created by relationships of materials, and the livability suitable to client needs and lifestyle. Not strongly driven by trends or imitation, but by timeless visual principles of proportion, pattern or textural interest, color volumes and overall harmony, Monica’s approach has garnered significant and lasting results, which are reflected and expressed as an original signature in each client’s project.
“Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.”
“It is important for people to start learning that good design doesn’t just happen. That it’s rather an outgrowth of our education.”
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.”
“Good design is long-lasting. In contrast to fashionable design, it lasts many years even in our throwaway society.”
