Q: What organizational rules of thumb keep your life running smoothly?
I love my label maker and always verify to have mydrawers properly labeledfor tools and supplies.
But I will admit, it can sometimes feel like organized chaos.
Q: How do you set the mood in your home, either for yourself or guests?
I love an amazing-smelling candle, especially during the fall and winter.
Right now, my favorite is the Half Baked Pumpkin Smash Candle by Snif!
During the winter season, I also love Snifs Old Saint Wick Candle.
Theres nothing better than lighting a candle at the end of the day and watching TV.
Its my favorite way to wind down and set a cozy vibe in my home.
Q: How do you unwind at home after a long day?
I love taking a bath.
Its always been my favorite way to relax and set the tone for a cozy night in.
I usually watch YouTube videos or scroll on TikTok.
Here’s what inspires his personal style and what he does when he needs a creative reset.
Q: How would you describe your style?
Its really adaptable, but I feel like my design style is a heavy mix of masculine and feminine.
I wouldnt say I stick to a specific style.
Because my home is a Spanish-style home, that architecture influences my design here.
But if I was doing a storybook home, you wouldnt be seeing the same colors from me.
Q: Do you prefer colors or neutrals at home?
Lately, Ive gravitated towards more neutrals and mixing woods, metals, etc.
What do you do when you need a break?
I really love designing my own personal spaces because I can do whatever I want.
Its nice to have the flexibility to shift creative direction if Im not feeling it.
I havent felt creatively drained yet and the inspiration just keeps coming.
Q: Whose design style do you most admire?
Pierce and Ward and Tiffany Howell of Night Palm.
I admire their work and eye so much.
Q: Where do you find design inspiration?
I find a lot of inspiration through old design books.
All those photos arent anywhere but in that booktheyre not online.
On Instagram and Pinterest, you start getting so saturated with whats trending or what other people are doing.
