Ambivalent. A constant tension between my excitement for my life and the projects I am working on, and my concern for what feels like the unraveling of the world I know.
Hotel lobbies. They’re little theaters where everyone’s in transit, mid-transformation.
Just returned from Tippet Rise, a 13,000-acre Montana ranch turned outdoor art and music center. Next stop: Paris.
Orchha, India.
Los Angeles. I could never live there, but I could return again and again.
My final year of architecture school in Austin, the rare time I wasn’t chasing the next thing, just wishing the moment would last.
Usually somewhere to eat. My love language is food, but NYC also does culture and spontaneity like nowhere else: Hudson River Park + the Whitney, or eat my way through Chinatown.
I love my office in West Chelsea. But when I need to work close to home, I set up shop at Chelsea Piers in Prospect Heights.
Dish items that come in odd numbers. Three arancini for four people is barbaric.
Thermal delight. That visceral, contrasting pleasure of an affogato or my favorite dessert: Baked Alaska.
Half-baked “AI” shoehorned into things it does worse than the original.
Food. Great restaurant, farmers market, butcher, fishmonger, wine shop. To me it’s quality; to others, extravagance.
Running a perfectly designed inn with a few rooms and an unforgettable restaurant, bringing together my passions for architecture, food and hospitality.
Mexico City.
Most: Balance. The sweet spot between rigid and reckless. Least: the extremes (too rigid, too reckless).
Confidence. While I think people with substance should be confident, too many who lack much substance at all are confident instead.
I try not to attach myself to possessions. If I’m being honest, I’d be most upset about losing my phone. I know.
A truffle ravioli that cost more than half the check - wasn't worth it.
Deplore: the trash on the streets. Love: spontaneous community; it was a long game, but now I belong to several communities that I love.
Memento mori: we’re all gonna die (so live well).
