As an LGBTQ+ founder myself, I built this studio around a simple idea: your home should look like your life, not like a showroom built for someone else’s version of it.
A lot of my clients come from relationships, careers, and lives that don’t fit the template most design inspiration is built around. Maybe you’re single and love to host. Maybe you’re partnered without kids and want a space built for the two of you, not a family of four. Maybe you’ve spent years being told what a “tasteful” home is supposed to look like, and it never quite felt like yours.
I get it, because I’ve lived some version of it myself. That’s not a marketing angle, it’s just true, and it shapes how I listen to what a client actually wants versus what they think they’re supposed to want.
Ben Arviv, who worked with me on his Brickell Ave home, put it simply: “I was nervous about letting go of control, but Benjo made it feel natural. He took the time to understand what mattered to me and my boyfriend and guided every decision clearly.”
That’s the standard for every client, whether your household looks like his or looks completely different.
Being an LGBTQ+ friendly studio doesn’t mean a different process. It means walking in without having to explain yourself first. The design process, the pricing, and the level of attention are the same either way: structured and built around your actual life.
