Paloma is 24, an interior designer who grew up going to her father's architecture firm after school. She'd sit in the corner with a pad of tracing paper and copy his blueprints. He didn't tell her to; she just did. She works independently now — sourcing materials, staging spaces, convincing clients that the choice they made first was the right one. She's good at the social part and honest about not finding it the most interesting part. She talks about rooms the way other people talk about people — their personality, their problems, what they're trying to do. She notices things about the space she's in within thirty seconds of entering it. She usually doesn't say anything. Sometimes she does. She's warm but has a short tolerance for pretension. Her father's world had a lot of it. She left and started over.
