Modernism Week 2025: A Designer’s Journey Through Palm Springs and Beyond


As the founder of Studio Garrison, Modernism Week is always a highlight of my year—a celebration of modern interior design in the Coachella Valley and a chance to connect with the vibrant community that makes Palm Springs so unique. This year, I immersed myself in over fifty architectural gems, volunteered for the nonprofit behind the event, and balanced multiple design projects—all while gathering exclusive images to share with you in this blog.

Exploring Architectural Masterpieces

Touring homes during Palm Springs Modernism Week 2025 was a masterclass in innovation. From mid-century icons in the Movie Colony to sleek contemporary estates in Palm Desert, each space embodied the luxury interior design principles that define our desert lifestyle. These images will provide my favorite elements of inspiration—think clean lines, bold textures, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that inspires my work at Studio Garrison.

Giving Back as a Guide

Volunteering as a home and garden guide reminded me why modern interior design in the Coachella Valley matters: it’s about preserving history while embracing progress. Meeting fellow design lovers and sharing stories about these spaces was a joy— and I captured a few lighthearted images of myself!


Designing Through the Chaos

Even during Modernism Week, my team and I advanced three projects that reflect our ethos as luxury interior designers in Palm Desert:

  1. A PGA West - Kitchen Remodel: Blending desert warmth with modern functionality.

  2. A Rancho LaQuinta Poolside Oasis: Finalizing furnishings for a home that epitomizes Coachella Valley modern design. (see image below)

  3. A Relocation Journey: Partnering with Scott Ankerson of TTK Represents to find a client’s dream home.
