About

As a French-American Design Leader, I bring over 17 years of global experience shaping world-class hospitality, high-end residential, and workplace environments. My career, rooted in a ENSA Paris-Belleville (France) and RISD (USA) education, has taken me to New York, Montreal, London, Paris, and now Bangalore, India. This global exposure provides me with a unique multi-market expertise. I lead diverse, cross-functional teams of architects, interior designers and engineers to deliver innovative and culturally resonant projects, with a focus on critical thinking, design technology and automation. A proven entrepreneur, I am a Partner at the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club (Brooklyn), the Founder of interior design studio Maison Gramoli and am currently launching an eponymous boutique hotel in 2026.
