Meet Shannon
Curator of the Living Layer | Interior Designer | Sommelier
Most people see a room as a collection of furniture. I see it as a sensory ecosystem.
My career began in the disciplined world of Interior Design, where I learned that a space is defined by its flow, light, and architectural integrity. But it was my journey as a Sommelier that taught me about soul. In the wine world, we speak of terroir—the unique environment of soil, climate, and sunlight that gives a grape its character.
I realized that our homes have a terroir, too.
Why I Design with Plants
I founded this practice because I saw a profound gap between "decorating" and "living." A room can be perfectly furnished with the finest pieces, but without the Living Layer, it lacks breath. Plants are not merely accessories; they are dynamic architectural elements that change with the light and seasons.
Using my background in Interior Design, I approach greenery with technical discipline. I don't just choose a plant because it’s beautiful; I select it because its form complements the architecture of the room. I analyze the "micro-climate" of your space—the light, humidity, and airflow—to ensure that these living sculptures don't just survive, but thrive as a permanent part of your home’s design.
My mission is to bridge the gap between structural design and botanical life, creating sanctuaries that feel as intentional as they are natural.
