Esther Boivin of Esther Boivin Interiors in Scottsdale, Arizona

Going further, Esther explains that her standard for successful design is when it evokes a feeling out of anyone who enters the space. Like a musical composition, she constantly strives to mix and match different elements to create something new and bold while maintaining a sense of harmony.

Further informing Esther’s sense of aesthetics is her passion for travel and immersing herself within different cultures. She speaks on how she developed an instinct for nailing appropriate design choices no matter the geography and climate surrounding the home, nor the unique tastes and desires of each individual client.

Key Quotes by Esther:

• Believe in yourself. The most important thing in being a successful designer is to trust your instincts.
• My design is successful if someone walks into the room and feels an emotion.
• When I discuss my design, it’s never, ‘This is what we’re going to do.” It’s a conversation. It’s not just about me. When I do a design for somebody, it’s about them, as well.
