G.A. Atelier

About me

It all started with a vision. A few years ago, I had an idea of what style of house I would have liked to move into with my family. After years of searching, we decided to build our own. It took a few more months of research and work, but we finally broke ground in January 2020, a year that brought many challenges. But it is through this experience that I discovered not only how much I love designing homes, but that I also wanted to share the knowledge I gained with others.

Through this hands-on experience, with all its ups and downs, I have learned about the challenges of making design decisions, dealing with obstacles or delays, making adjustments along the way. But the reward was truly worth it – a home that reflects who you are. And this is why G.A. Atelier was created – to bring your vision to life and transform your home into your favorite place.

With a French, Egyptian, Indian and American family and a love of travel, I learned to create my own style, curate my home decor and blend unexpected styles together to truly reflect my own story. And I can help you do the same – create a space you truly love.

kind words from clients

Gigi is thoughtful, intuitive and very creative. I appreciate her design philosophy of intentionality, meaning and purposeful use of space. Her enthusiasm and love of design is infectious and I hope to continue to work with her as I design future spaces in my home.

—Shaleen B.

Gigi is an amazing designer. She worked closely with me to create the perfect guest bathroom, a space that looks like it came straight out of Architectural Digest. She is not only incredibly talented but also patient, responsive, organized, and a complete professional. Her true goal is to design spaces her clients will genuinely love. I will absolutely continue to work with her on my future projects.

—Lisa K.

Gigi is highly creative and innovative. My bedroom closet space is very small yet she managed to design the space to maximize utility.  She reimagined my closet area into an oasis of luxury and calm. And her design consultation for my bedroom captured all the elements needed to completely transform the feel of the space.

—Rita S.

Gigi is a brilliant and gracious designer. She listens carefully to your inner vision and transforms it thoughtfully into a magical reality. Gihane beautifully designed our family room and all-season sunroom, bringing serenity and tranquility to these spaces just like we wanted. She is very patient and continues to work with us on the elements that we still want to bring in at our own pace. Thank you Gihane! 

—Zeba D.

Gigi was thorough, attentive, and really listened to my needs and concerns. Her suggestions were thoughtful, realistic, and easy to implement. She genuinely went above and beyond, and it showed in the care and detail she put into the consultation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer who is both talented and truly client-focused.

—Huma A.

Creating the space for my first home was both exciting and a bit daunting but Gigi made the entire process a joy. She helped me create a warm, cozy space that feels uniquely mine, and every guest immediately notices how inviting and special it is - exactly what I’ve always dreamed of!
