CLIENT
Describe the client and the style of his home. A well-regarded entrepreneur, this young client already had an eye for design. His striking Hollywood Hills home had a cool, modern vibe and he wanted his closet to reflect a similar style.
How did you collaborate to create the best possible outcome? My goal was to incorporate inspiration my client drew from a famous Hollywood movie. Working with his interior designer as well, I presented a plan that would improve function and reflect similar cinematic visual impact with details such as LED lighting and lustrous hardware. I had to work carefully with room’s awkward layout and found a way to cleverly hide an existing access door on the back wall of the room by adding a mirrored door flanked with mirrors on the side walls to achieve a 3-way mirror effect.
I enjoyed taking on the challenge of turning a space of odd angles and beams into a streamlined and upscale dressing room.

MATERIALS
How would you describe the final result? Transformative! The entire design process was successful and fun. This once dated space is now a dressing room with a WOW factor.
Describe how you designed a better life for this client. My client used to hate going into his old closet. Now it is one of his favorite rooms. He can enjoy getting ready for meetings and events, and preparing for trips. His closet is now a reflection of the success that he is enjoying in both his personal and professional life.
