A Brooch Designer’s Curated Bay Area Home & Garden

We’re in Piedmont, California, visiting the beautiful home and garden of Helena Simon — a space that perfectly reflects her refined taste and worldly sensibility.

Curated with treasures from her travels, antique finds, and striking floral art, Helena’s home is both sophisticated and deeply welcoming.

A fifth-generation San Franciscan, Helena grew up with a deep appreciation for beauty and nature. Summers spent in her grandfather’s London garden and the rolling hills of the Cotswolds inspired her lifelong love of flowers — a passion she channels into her exquisite floral brooches, blending her eye for high fashion with the timeless elegance of an English garden.
