STUDIO
WHO WE ARE
GENEVIEVE ABSEY
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER | OWNER
I am a deeply sentimental person and have a fiendish preoccupation with what it means to make a home. I believe that every space has the potential to be portrait of a person, of a family, of a business. It is a living thing that evolves to reflect the quirks and character of the people that live within it, and it should contain multitudes - equal parts reverence and irreverence.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, my entire life is guided by the principles that I believe make something compelling - balance, vulnerability, surprise, intention, and a bit of mischief. I believe these principles make our homes, our art, our relationships, and our lives more fruitful and exciting, and they are the lens through which I approach all of my design work.
I think of myself as a strategic partner to my clients, translating their inner selves and visions into reality while solving complex problems and managing the nitty gritty aspects of the process for them. My mission is simply to create functional and deeply meaningful spaces that will add value to my clients’ lives for many years to come.
