A personal introduction - Differentiation through Innovation.

With over 20 years in luxury real estate and a background as a former Wall Street finance attorney, I bring a rare combination of strategic insight, negotiation expertise, and a deep appreciation for design-forward properties. Specializing in historic, mid-century modern and ultra-modern homes, I don’t just sell properties—I craft a vision that speaks to the right buyers, maximizing value and impact. The Design Collection is dedicated to properties that embody architectural significance, ensuring they reach an audience that values and appreciates great design. If you are looking for such a home you have come to the right place, we represent to owners of many such homes. Our success and growth over the past 20 years relies on relationships forged by hard work and creativity.

A Passion for Unique Homes

My love for extraordinary architecture is personal. I grew up in Europe, surrounded by historic estates, and lived in a folly—an ornamental architectural statement. Over the years, I’ve curated my own collection, from an award-winning contemporary home in Portugal to a medieval tower in the Périgord region in South West France and, most recently, Tufts One, a 1905 Bernard Maybeck masterpiece in Marin County. This lifelong passion for distinctive design informs how I market, position, and project the uniqueness of every home I represent.
