business development
I grew up in southern Wisconsin, the son of a gritty, witty roofer, and a perceptive, artistic middle-manager. For all their contrasts, their strengths overlapped in the areas of vision and creativity. Learning life-skills from these seemingly opposite sources turned me into somewhat of a hippie cowboy – creative, but with purpose. More importantly this upbringing gave me the ability to act upon creative thought, to build, fix, compose and design – all while paying close attention to detail, end goal and craftsmanship.
Before Establishing Decorum L.A., I worked primarily in entertainment and media production while spending my weekends repurposing furniture or designing functional yet cohesive living spaces, including complete home makeovers for friends and family. From these experiences I found my passion where the convergence of unique and functional design meets eye catching beauty and charm. Decorum L.A. is where I endeavor to continue that love and build a reputation: one of innovation, creativity and style.
Franca Porras grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by family deeply immersed in the businesses of Real Estate, construction and home design. She herself has worked in Real Estate for over 10 years and is currently an agent at Sotheby's International Realty.
Franca's deeply-rooted connection to Real Estate and home design have made understanding what catches a buyer's eye and what doesn't an instinctual art. She is skilled at foreseeing potential issues, but just as savvy in finding ideal solutions. She has a record of success and a keen eye for seeing the possible where others see the impossible. Franca is a maven in finding the perfect subcontractor or collaboration and remains in sync with each along every step to insure quality and craftsmanship are kept on point and on schedule.
JUAN PABLO, KYLE, ADRIAN
DYNAMOS
Juan Pablo, Kyle and Adrian (Left to right), are the epitome of strength & kindness. Raised in Aguascalientes, MX, but citizens of the world, you can find all 3 on their days off in the hills of Malibu, up in Yellowstone, or even Canada searching for their next boulder or mountain to climb or bike. They approach installation and de-staging with the same tenacity as their climbs; if one option doesn't work, look for a new route. We are truly grateful to have them on our Team.
