Last night design professionals and enthusiasts alike gathered at Switch Modern to hear photostylist and producer Annette Joseph, discuss how her travels to Italy influences her design aesthetic.

I’m always intrigued when creatives speak on how their lifestyle and environment translates into their work. In regard to Annette’s work as a photostylist, she has to carefully balance the two design sensibilities since her work is primarily for an American-based audience.

Yet in her private residences, both in Atlanta and Italy, her love for Tuscany  is evident but never themey or overly contrived. What you see is a reflection of who she is, her work, and her determination to live with what she loves. I’ve got much respect for designers who practice what they preach![divider]

Below are a few photos of Annette’s Italian flat. Click here to see the rest featured on Design Sponge.

Thanks for Switch Modern for hosting awesome design events and Liz Lapidus PR for keeping me in the know!

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
