Some of the most formative parts of my career have been spent inside spaces designed with real intention. Working front-of-house at design-focused hotels like The Hotel Chelsea, The Moore, and The Twenty Two, I wasn't just passing through these rooms — I worked in them every day, learning firsthand how thoughtful architecture, interiors, and detailing shape the way a space feels and functions. These photos are a look at the high-end environments that shaped my eye, and that continue to inform how I think about the spaces I help build today.
Hotel Chelsea
The Hotel Chelsea is a New York icon — a century-old artists' landmark reborn as one of the city's most storied boutique hotels. As a Front Desk Agent, I led VIP tours and room escorts, managed reservation logistics, and coordinated with housekeeping and concierge to keep the guest experience seamless. It's where I learned how great design carries a room from beautiful to unforgettable.
The Made
Made Hotel is a design-driven boutique hotel in NoMad, known for its warm, considered interiors and a strong sense of atmosphere. As Head Bartender and Front of House Manager, I co-created a post-pandemic pop-up restaurant with the executive chef, built a weekly cocktail program from surplus inventory under a zero-waste constraint, and ran front-of-house operations end to end. It's where I learned how design, hospitality, and a little creativity come together to make a space people don't want to leave.
THE MOORE
The Moore is a design-forward boutique hotel where atmosphere and detail are everything. Working front-of-house, I helped deliver a polished guest experience inside a space built around thoughtful design. It's the kind of environment that sharpened my eye for how interiors and hospitality come together.
The 22
The Twenty Two is an exclusive London members' club and hotel known for its rich, maximalist design and discreet, high-touch service. Working front-of-house, I delivered hospitality to a discerning clientele inside one of the most design-driven spaces I've been part of. It's where I saw how bold interiors and impeccable service combine to create something truly memorable.
