I was born in Los Angeles TO BRITISH ex-pats, OSCILLATING between their HOMES IN MALIBU AND the hollywood hills. They were both creatives. Their homes were inherently glamorous.

we returned to England AND lived in london & Oxford. i HAD A CLASSIC english EDUCATION, that WAS ROOTED IN FORMALITY AND ELEGANCE. IT instilled in me a code of CONDUCT that i carry forward to this day.

i returned to california in 2006, EMBRACING THE ALFRESCO LIFESTYLE, BLEND OF CULTURES AND CALIFORNIA’s PERPETUAL SUNSHINE.

DURING MY TWENTY YEARS OF LIVING IN CALIFORNIA, I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO FORM A NEW WAY OF LIVING, BY BLENDING THE TRADITION OF MY ENGLISH UPBRINING, WITH WEST COAST AMERICANA.

SUMMERS ON THE BEACH IN SANTA BARBARA, WITH OUR DOGS AND THE DEFENDER. A BLACK-TIE HOLIDAY PARTY AT HOME, JUST BECAUSE. OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. INTERIOR SPACES THAT BLEND CALIFORNIA COOL WITH ENGLISH SOPHISTICATION.

MAISON MACLEAN EMBODIES MY LOVE OF ALL THINGS ENGLISH, AND THE WEST COAST, THAT I INFUSE INTO EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE.

PLEASE JOIN ME ON THIS JOURNEY.
