  • Born & Raised in Zurich

Why I Understand the Relocation Journey

Moving to a new country is about much more than furnishing a home.

As someone who has relocated between Switzerland and California several times, I understand the excitement, uncertainty, and countless decisions that come with starting a new chapter.‍ ‍

Because I grew up in Zurich and spent more than 20 years in California, I offer both local knowledge and an international perspective.

My clients often rely on me not only for design guidance, but also for practical insights that help them settle into life along Lake Zurich with confidence.

  • Moving from London to Kilchberg felt overwhelming until we found Barbara. Her local insight, fluent English, and deep understanding of the expat experience made all the difference. Within weeks, our apartment felt like home. From sourcing furniture and custom curtains to recommending local trades and shops, she anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had. Barbara combines Swiss precision with California warmth, and that is a rare combination. We couldn’t have imagined a smoother transition.”

  • “Barbara’s English is flawless, her communication is exceptional, and her knowledge of both Swiss and American lifestyles is invaluable. She quickly understood our taste and created a home that feels authentic to us rather than simply ‘decorated.’ We would recommend her without hesitation to any international family relocating to Zurich.”

    — Relocated from the United States, Zurich

  • “The moment we met Barbara, we knew we were in good hands. She has an incredible eye for design, but what truly sets her apart is her understanding of what it means to start over in a new country. Her support extended far beyond interiors, making our family’s transition to Switzerland far easier than we expected.”

    — International Executive & Family, Wollerau
