Lilian has an art education from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and a couture eye sharpened at Akris. She balances structure and instinct, old and new. She is drawn to spaces that blend styles and mirror a client’s personal taste and ambition. She listens closely for what each person needs to keep, and what they’re finally ready to let go of.

That instinct didn’t arrive by accident. Lilian grew up on Boston’s North Shore, surrounded by art, architecture, and design as a matter of daily life — shaped early by parents who shared those passions and built a home that reflected them fully. Family travels to Ireland and Saint Barth deepened that education. In the symmetry of Georgian architecture, the eclectic layering of European influence, and the modernism woven through it, she found an early template for the mix she still gravitates toward today — high and low, inherited and new, history in conversation with the present.

That template was sharpened through mentorship under the late Keith Musinski of Equilibrium Design, where she learned to work with color, to embrace a client’s style, and to design with the freedom to meet someone exactly where their style lives. These lessons still shape how she works today.

Lilian carried that sensibility into her studies at SCAD, where she focused on fashion marketing & management while her interest in interiors continued to grow alongside it — never one at the expense of the other. At Akris, she put both to use, building the lookbooks for her sales team and becoming a stylist for friends, family, and clients. A trip to Paris for Fashion Week became a turning point — not because it pulled her away from fashion and toward design, but because it revealed they’d never been separate at all. The story behind a look and the story behind a space were the same story, and she stopped trying to choose between them.

That restlessness never left her. Lilian has spent a lifetime redesigning the rooms around her — as a child in her family’s home, and now in her own, and reworking her own style right alongside it. Furniture rarely stays put for long, and neither does her wardrobe; the space and the style keep evolving together, because she does. It’s that same fluidity she brings to every client: interiors and styling, offered together or on their own, both built to move with the life being lived inside them.
