Today, we are very excited to welcome Salim Skaf, founder and CEO of Harmony Studio, a luxury furniture brand that has quickly become a reference in South Florida for contemporary, refined, and highly customizable design.

Harmony Studio is known for blending modern elegance with comfort and craftsmanship, offering both ready-to-ship and custom-made furniture pieces tailored to today’s luxury lifestyle. With showrooms across South Florida, the brand has built a strong reputation among homeowners, developers, and interior designers alike.

Today on Creative Talks, we’ll be diving into Salim’s journey as a founder, the story behind Harmony Studio, and how design, quality, and personalization come together to support designers in creating elevated, thoughtful experiences for their clients.

I’m honored to have with me Rajni Alex, founder and principal of Rajni Alex Design, a bi‑coastal interior studio with offices in New York and Florida.

With over 20 years of experience, Rajni’s work has been featured in Luxe Magazine, House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Traditional Home, and many more. She’s known for weaving global inspirations, bold color palettes, sculptural forms, and layered textures into interiors that feel warm and personal.

Her projects include standout work in the 2024 House Beautiful Whole Home showcase and her recent kitchen design for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach 2025.

Today we’ll dig into Rajni’s journey—from her earliest inspirations to how she juggles creativity, clients, and the press. Rajni, thank you so much for being here.

Today, we’re taking things into the kitchen with a guest from one of the most iconic names in high-end appliances: Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove.

Joining me is Ashley Rojas, a passionate Trade Representative for Sub-Zero Group Florida, covering the Miami and Gulf Coast regions. Since joining the company in 2018, she’s been instrumental in building strong partnerships with architects, kitchen designers, and interior designers — driving brand awareness through immersive trainings, chef-led experiences, and showroom events that bring the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove story to life. Her work blends education, experience, and strategy to deepen product knowledge and foster lasting loyalty across the design community.

But beyond her professional expertise, Ashley brings a wonderful personal story — one that bridges her Midwestern roots in Iowa and her Colombian heritage. She’s a marketer at heart, a lover of travel, good wine, and great coffee, and a proud mom to a one-year-old son with another little one on the way.

We’ll be talking about the intersection of design, culinary culture, and brand storytelling — and how Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove continue to set the standard for timeless performance and design innovation in the home.

I’m honored to welcome one of the most influential voices in architecture and resilient design — Reinaldo Borges. He is the award-winning Founder and CEO of Borges + Associates, a world-class design and consulting firm based in Miami with offices around the globe. Over his 33-year career, Reinaldo has left his mark on skylines across the U.S. and internationally, with more than 100 completed buildings and a portfolio that spans luxury high-rises, five-star hotels, mixed-use developments, and visionary projects that blend beauty with sustainability. A leader on climate resiliency, he also serves as a key advisor to the City of Miami, guiding how cities can prepare for the future.

Joining him today is his wife and partner, Alice Dahbura-Borges, an accomplished architect with more than 20 years of experience in residential and hospitality design. With her expertise in complex high-rise projects and interior design, Alice brings design leadership, technical mastery, and a passion for elevating the details that make projects truly exceptional.

Together, they helm Borges + Associates, a world-class architectural and consulting firm headquartered in Miami, with a global presence in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and India. Now celebrating 25 years of excellence, their combined vision and leadership have positioned the firm as a trusted partner for major real estate developments worldwide.

I’m so excited for today’s interview, as I truly admire them and have the pleasure of calling them my friends.

Today I’m incredibly excited to bring you a conversation with a true creative visionary. Tatyana Gold is the founder of Prisma Interiors, a design studio known for its bold aesthetics, refined elegance, and a deep commitment to creating spaces that don’t just look beautiful—but feel meaningful. Her work is where art, emotion, and functionality come together.

Please welcome to a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller through space. We’ll be diving into her journey as a founder, what inspires her work, and how she’s built a brand that resonates so deeply in the world of interior design.

Aimee Lopez is the visionary behind IC Designs by Aimee and the Holistic Interior Design Community—a movement that’s redefining how we think about the spaces we live in. She’s also an inspiring educator in the University of Miami’s Interior Design program, where she’s guiding the next generation to look beyond the surface and understand how design shapes our well-being.

With her background rooted in both interior design and human wellness, Aimee is passionate about the impact our environments have on our minds, bodies, and spirits. By bringing together neuroscience, psychology, and soulful energy work, she helps clients and fellow designers move beyond aesthetics into spaces that truly heal and support us.

Today we’ll explore how she integrates empathy, the 33 senses, and even personality types into her design process—and why she believes the future of design must be more conscious, and deeply human.

So whether you’re a designer, a creative, or simply someone craving spaces that feel better—not just look better—this conversation will give you fresh insight into what it really means to live well by design.

Today, I’m joined by Irene Fister, founder of Fister Design and a licensed interior designer with over 20 years of experience across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors.

Irene’s work is a study in balance—blending classical structure with modern and eclectic flair, all while keeping functionality and client experience at the core. Her portfolio includes boutique hotels, luxury residences, and commercial interiors throughout the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.

For those of us in the trade, Irene’s approach to detail, collaboration, and storytelling through design is truly inspiring.

Today we’re diving into the world of plumbing fixtures with one of the most dynamic companies in the industry: House of Fixtures.

Together, they bring a sharp eye for detail, deep industry knowledge, and a passion for helping design professionals make confident fixture selections.

We’ll be talking trends, technical tips, and tackling some of the most common myths designers run into when working with plumbing fixtures.
