Tell us your biggest design secret:
Mastering the mix of design elements in a room to achieve a whole that is greater than its parts is Theresa's specialty. She expertly layers furnishings, textiles and accessories drawn from local craftsmen, trade sources and catalogue finds to create a curated look for each client.
What drives you to design?
The clients! Delivering a design that, first and foremost, meets their needs, and ultimately delights their senses.
From where do you draw most of your inspiration?
Travel, art and nature are her muses. Theresa's eye is constantly scanning for color, pattern and texture, in the brightly hued boats at dock in the Copenhagen harbor, in the composition of a Contemporary painting or in the luxurious hand of an alpaca throw. It all informs her work.
