Your space should feel like you — all of you.
Interiors for lives between cultures
I'm a Paris-based designer, originally from the U.S.
Trained entirely in French at LISAA in Interior Decoration and French Decorative Arts in Paris, I work with clients navigating Paris interiors and the experience of building a life between cultures.

Paris
“After moving into a new apartment in Paris, Shana thoughtfully helped us turn loose ideas and inspiration into a clear, tangible vision. We walked away not only with a beautiful new layout but also with practical details like exact measurements for rugs, coffee tables, and curtains, which I’d always felt lost about.”
Maddy Odom, Paris, France
Maddy is an entrepreneur and multi-passionate creative based in Paris. Originally from Texas, she lives in Paris with her French husband and their two young children.
Why Work With Me
I completed my Master’s in Interior Decoration at LISAA School of Design in Paris, studying entirely in French and developing a deep understanding of Parisian interiors and French design traditions.
Having grown up in the United States and built my life in Paris, I also understand the experience of arriving in a new country and navigating a new language, new spatial expectations, and a different way of living.
What I bring to your space isn't just knowledge of French interiors. It's a way of seeing.
French interior landscape and vocabulary
Brands, ateliers, and materials rarely visible in English-language searches
Haussmann apartment realities
Scale, storage, and layouts that function differently once lived in
Spatial translations
Understanding how Paris apartments compare to other housing contexts
Cultural layering
Bringing multiple influences together into a space that feels cohesive and personal
