Selected Projects
Family Travel Concierge | French Riviera
Managed family villa sourcing, rental negotiations, staff recruitment, personalized itineraries and daily logistics for adults and children during a month-long stay on the French Riviera.
Alexandra spent the first week on-site overseeing operations and refining each detail to ensure smooth execution of the curated programme. The family returned the following year to repeat the experience.
Luxury Residential Project Management
Managed procurement, delivery and installation of custom-made furniture for a luxury penthouse interior, coordinating production with an artisanal Italian luxury manufacturer.
Alexandra conducted weekly factory visits, with full days spent on the factory floor, to assure quality control before shipment and reduce costly revisions and delays.
She arranged contractor visits to the client to ensure flawless installation, then personally coordinated on-site work so each piece integrated smoothly within the wider project timeline.
Art & Collectible Design Advisory
Advised a private client on expanding and integrating an art and collectible design collection into a new residence, beginning with a review of existing works and a display strategy for artworks and objects throughout the home.
The project included custom display solutions for selected pieces, research, gallery visits and acquisitions through leading art fairs and collectible design galleries in France, resulting in a cohesive collection shaped around the client and the architecture.
