Lyn's journey

I was born and raised in South Africa, so you could say I’m pretty down to earth. Maybe it’s that grounding that sparked my love for animals and inspired my passion for sophisticated yet earth-friendly interior design.

As a designer who has journeyed through fashion, interiors, and global living, I bring a seasoned perspective shaped by years of experience across four continents. My travels — and my time working with bespoke fabrics and textiles — taught me the value of quality, longevity, and soul in design.

Design has always been part of my life. In the ’90s, I founded a conscious fashion brand, and as a personal stylist in South Africa and the Middle East, I learned how to craft spaces that reflect individuality and comfort.

Now an American citizen based in Dallas, Texas, I weave those global influences into interiors that feel both modern and timeless, with just the right touch of vintage soul.

PRAISE

“Working with Lyn is always a joy. She has a unique eye for interior projects as well as styling."

"I love how she thoughtfully incorporates antiques into her styling to make it sustainable. Her taste in art is immaculate. Lyn has the best qualities when it comes to collaboration. She gave me all the creative freedom on our recent shoot, which was an absolute dream client to work with.”

Let’s begin with an inquiry

Every home tells a different story. The first step is simple: share a little about yourself and your project, and I’ll be in touch. From there, we can explore your goals and how I might bring them to life — whether you’re ready for a full design service, styling a second home, or seeking expert guidance to move forward with confidence.

Let’s start shaping a space that feels unmistakably yours.
