""Since founding her design studio in 2016, Okin has made a name for herself crafting sophisticated spaces with a healthy heaping of whimsy, including an apartment for Lena Dunham and the New York headquarters for Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. One of her design signatures is creating classical-informed rooms with a contemporary twist, something that came in handy when revamping the Williams’ residence, which dates to 1901 and spans roughly 5,500 square feet."" — Elle Decor ""What distinguishes this book is Okin’s fundamental premise: joy isn’t ornamental—it’s structural. In a discipline that typically subordinates color to spatial function, she inverts the hierarchy entirely. The argument is both intellectually considered and quietly refreshing."" — Carl Dellatore, Interior Design Master Class Newsletter
