Creative | Idealist | COLLABORATIVE | PROBLEM SOLVER
Safae’s journey in design has always been driven by her passion for creativity. Born in Morocco, raised in West Palm Beach, and having spent most of her life in New York City, she draws inspiration from the world around her. With a deep love for architecture, the visual arts, nature, and a strong attention to detail, her path to interior design was a natural one.
Safae honed her skills at the renowned Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), where she earned her degree in Interior Design and minored in Art History. Her early career was shaped by experiences at prestigious firms like Jamie Drake, Thom Filicia, and Victoria Hagan Interiors, as well as gaining valuable hospitality design experience at Bilkey Llinas Design in Florida. Before launching her own practice, she further refined her expertise at award-winning firms Rees Roberts + Partners and Selldorf Architects, where she managed major projects.
In 2015, Safae founded Safae Interior Design, driven by a desire to bring her unique vision to life. A modernist at heart, she embraces color, pattern, texture, and scale, translating her clients' personalities into their spaces. Her approach is collaborative and client-focused, ensuring that every project is both artful and functional, reflecting the individuality of those who live in them.

With a skilled and passionate team, the firm efficiently plans spaces, expertly selects finishes, and thoughtfully sources furnishings. Their strong relationships with top ateliers and tradespeople ensure that every project is executed with the highest level of precision and detail.
