kim ficaro- interior stylist + founder of totem home

A few weeks back, in the Costa Rican jungle, I reconnected with one of my favorite humans, Kim Ficaro of Totem Home, at her new casita in Santa Teresa. Fun fact: I used to assist Kim 15 years ago when I first entered the world of prop styling and set design :) I was lucky enough to cross paths with her and have breakfast on her patio and dive into all the things- present and future goals/dreams/inspirations. Read more about Kim below and stay tuned for our dye workshop coming soon to Costa Rica :)
"I have been a set designer and interior stylist working for 20 years within the advertising, interior catalog, and lifestyle world of photography. I am former style editor of the original domino magazine, co author of The Inspired Home, Rizzoli, contributing editor to Yolo Magazine. Currently living between Malibu, Costa Rica and the rest of the world when called. This is my passion, my inspired way in the world is to create, to make spaces that feel inspired and soothing, and to create products for my home brand, Totem Home that have depth, and a sense of aliveness. I work with artisans around the globe learning about traditions and stories of humans. I am deeply rooted in my center core, my practices strengthen my center giving me the ability to expand with creativity. My homes and spaces I create are altars in their own, there is an attention to the unseen conversation that creates a synergy, and this is where I find my voice and give life to new ideas."
