about deux
styled for the soul.
DEUX (French for “two,” pronounced like dew) honors my two sons and captures the essence of my work: a push and pull between logic and intuition that I always gravitate towards.
I design interiors and events through a visual-first process — creating photoreal mockups and intentional design direction so you can see your space before it comes to life.
With a background in pharmaceuticals and engineering, everything I do has to be exact and precise. But styling lets me tap into my softer, intuitive side that doesn’t need to over-explain every choice to know it’s the right one. I still analyze spaces, study proportions, and pay attention to the smallest details. I’m drawn to spaces that feel both emotional and structured — where beauty and logic exist at the same time.
That tension reveals itself in what I create: clean lines softened by unexpected textures, minimal forms made warm and human, spaces that whisper but still hold presence.
My design approach is rooted in meaning and faith. It isn’t about trends or surface appeal — it’s about creating spaces that hold intention, invite peace, and point to something greater than ourselves.
My work bridges vision and execution — giving you both clarity and confidence in every decision.
That’s what DEUX means to me. Not just making a space look good, but making you feel something when you enter. styled for the soul.
