Bio: Deborah Wecselman is a distinguished interior designer and tastemaker best known for her enchanting take on interiors and the luxury lifestyle.

The award-winning interior designer is not only highly regarded among her peers, but she is also widely recognized in the press. Wecselman has been featured in various interior design magazines throughout Florida, New York, Central and Latin America.
Deborah was born in Lima, Peru and completed her BFA in Environmental Design from Parson’s School of Design in New York. She then began her formal training as design associate in the store development department at Polo Ralph Lauren. She quickly rose to senior Director of International store design responsible for the creation of more than 5000 shop in shops and stores internationally where she worked with many of New York’s finest designers around the world.
In 2000 Deborah established DWD, Inc to provide clients with interior and architectural design of the highest quality. DWD is a small firm, which she believes is the only way to be your best and be most available to clients. Deborah’s talent lies in her ability to mix elements from all different eras, styles and periods. There’s a certain bravery in what she does that verges on over-the-top, but always stands just back from the edge.
“We believe that a well designed space reflects people’s needs and way of life is one full of passionate and artistic work,” she says. “We enjoy our work, from the birth of an idea to the culmination of a story that evolves with real life interaction. Though good design never happens without inspiration and imagination, great design celebrates reality as well. We must never forget how long a client will live with our ideas.”
