I am beyond excited and honored to share my podcast with my friend Ariel Okin, founder of Ariel Okin Interiors. Ariel’s New York-based, full-service interior design firm specializes in luxury residential, commercial and hospitality projects across the country.
She is based in West Chester, NY where she resides with her husband and 2 beautiful daughters. Ariel has had an incredible amount of success since launching her firm in 2016 and she handles it with the utmost humility - to the point where she probably wouldn’t tell you that she has been featured in renowned publications such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Domino, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, and New York Magazine, among others.
In 2022, she was recognized as one of House Beautiful Next Wave Designers, an exclusive list of the top interior design talent in the country. She has also worked on some pretty cool projects such as Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP NYC headquarters. Her firm has also grown and evolved over the years – she has launched multiple capsule collections, including wallpaper lines with Chasing Paper and The Mural Source, accessories with One Kings Lane, and most recently, a lighting line with Mitzi.
In 2020 she launched Fenimore Lane – an editorial and e-commerce site which is a collection of interior design inspiration, interviews and a shop focused on all things home and lifestyle. And as part of Fenimore Lane, In 2023 she launched her 1 st podcast called Talk Shop with Ariel – which you should definitely check out – I have listened to every single interview and I LOVE it – I not only learn more about interior design industry but also leave every conversation feeling inspired!
And finally, Ariel is in the process of writing her first book – she just signed a book deal with Rizzoli. Ariel is beyond inspiring and I am so excited for you to hear her story! please enjoy!
