// about K E N Y A 

​​​Kenya is a New York based creator dedicated to designing thoughtful, well appointed environments that inspire and evoke emotion.  

​

A former corporate fashion executive, with an expertise in textiles, product development, sourcing and manufacturing, Kenya began to nurture her passion for creating as a hobby. After graduating college with a degree in Political Science, International Affairs, she realized that design - not law school was her life's path.

 

As a proud third generation Brooklynite, Kenya inherited her family's deep and abiding love for architecture, for Brooklyn, and for Brownstones especially. From exploring Greek Revivals and Italianties to appreciating the elegance and reliability of natural stone and parquet flooring, she learned the importance of care and thoughtfulness required to honor a home. 

​

The global pandemic provided Kenya with the opportunity to pivot from her fashion and beauty career transforming her passions and professional skills into meaningful projects and allowing her to share her vision for thoughtful spaces, beginning with the rehabilitation of her own turn of the century Brownstone that she shares with her two daughters.

"My inspiration lies in creating beauty in life - especially in our everyday spaces, and I hope to inspire that in others."
