Cliff is a Los Angeles-based interior designer and entrepreneur. Cliff’s approach to design comes from a personal level that feels collected, curated, doesn’t have to be precious. It’s all about the mix.His work has been published many times in magazines such as Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Wall Street Journal, and In Style, so may you recognize his name. Or perhaps, you remember him as a co-host and judge from Ellen’s Design Challenge, a furniture design competition on HGTV, from executive producer, Ellen DeGeneres. (Who also happens to be one of Cliff’s long-standing clients.)In this conversation with Cliff, we talk about the connection between fashion and interior design, his favorite types of projects to take on these days, why he doesn’t want to be ruled by his possessions, and how designing or defining how one lives is an incredible opportunity to communicate something about yourself.Cliff is also the founder of the design firm, Matt Blacke, and the co-founder of a vintage furniture showroom in Los Angeles called Galerie Half.
