Cotswolds by Design
An intimate week in the English countryside — experienced not as tourists, but as welcomed guests to various private homes and gardens.
We spend a day at an artist’s castle-turned-home — painting in his studio, walking his grounds, and sharing meals prepared on the estate — tour a landmark Arts & Crafts house, cook at one of Britain’s most beloved organic farms, explore villages, and visit a variety of extraordinary private gardens.

Design-led travel notes from Europe (and beyond).
A sharp, thoughtful mix of city guides and visual inspiration, shaped by lived experience, on-the-ground research, and deep creative networks — refined over nearly two decades of return visits.

Hello — I’m a curator, author of Paris by Design (Abrams), and long-time creative guide to Europe.
With fine-art training and a formative chapter living in France and Belgium in my twenties, I now return often — building relationships within creative communities and designing intimate, design-led trips. Many guests come back to travel with us again (the best compliment).
