YACHT DESIGN
Great yacht design is not about style for its own sake. It is about creating a vessel that works beautifully — one whose exterior presence turns heads in any harbor, whose interior feels instinctively right the moment you step aboard, and whose layout reflects a deep understanding of how the owner actually wants to live at sea.
Over more than two decades, that conviction has been applied across the full range of the industry — from production vessels and tenders to fully custom motoryachts up to 80 meters. Exterior styling, interior design, and general arrangement are all core disciplines here, and handling all three in-house means the design intent remains consistent from first concept through final specification.
Whether the project is a ground-up custom build, a refit, or a spec design, the approach is the same: start with the owner, understand the life they want to live aboard, and build the design outward from there. The result is work that feels bespoke regardless of scale — timeless rather than fashionable, and personal rather than generic.
PROJECT ADVOCACY & CONSULTING
Few independent designers have ever sat on the shipyard side of the table. Having spent 18 years as the creative director inside one of the world’s leading custom yacht builders, I understand how yards think, how they price, where they have flexibility, and where they don't. That insider knowledge means I can navigate the client/builder relationship with a level of fluency that protects the design, manages expectations, and keeps the project moving toward the result everyone is working for.
YACHT REFITS
Every yacht tells the story of the people who have owned and loved it. A refit is the moment that story gets a new chapter — and getting that transition right requires as much sensitivity as it does creativity.
Refit work here spans both exterior and interior, from deck layout and superstructure restyling to complete interior redesigns. Projects frequently come with minimal or no original construction drawings, which demands a practiced ability to assess a vessel on its own terms — understanding its structure, its proportions, and its character before a single design decision is made. That diagnostic instinct, developed over two decades and sharpened by years working inside a shipyard, makes the difference between a refit that feels considered and one that feels compromised.
Whether the intention is to honor the original design language, evolve it gently for a changing lifestyle, or depart from it entirely for a new owner, the goal is always the same: a finished vessel that feels wholly intentional — as if it could never have been any other way.
TOOLS OF THE STUDIO
All design work is produced in-house using a professional toolset that spans the full design and visualization pipeline: Rhino for 3D surface modeling, AutoCAD for technical documentation, Adobe products for concept development and presentation graphics, and 3D Rendering combined with Ai for photorealistic renderings and client visualization.
