Aaron brings the counterbalance: resourcefulness, operational clarity, and a deep understanding of how beautiful spaces are actually built. With experience spanning Los Angeles design, rental property strategy, and development, he approaches each project with disciplined budgeting, structural insight, and strong local relationships throughout Brunswick and the Midcoast. Together, they bridge vision and feasibility — ensuring that every interior is not only compelling in concept, but grounded in craftsmanship, practicality, and long-term value.

Hermitage Maine - Design Forward Renovations

Hermitage Maine was founded by Aaron and Cleo — a partnership shaped by both Maine practicality and New York design sensibility.

Cleo brings a refined, editorial eye influenced by years immersed in New York’s design culture: an instinct for proportion, restraint, and layered interiors that feel collected rather than constructed. Her perspective introduces a quiet sophistication — a touch of New York in Maine — where materials, light, and texture are considered as carefully as layout and flow.
