Shauna Varvel began her career in public relations with Estée
Lauder in New York, continuing with the brand to Tokyo. After many
years of renting summer homes in Provence with her family, Shauna
finally chose one to call their own, taking on the renovation of a
200-year-old farmhouse outside Avignon, France. The project has
been celebrated by numerous publications, including Veranda, Town &
Country and Fortune magazines, and visited by celebrities and an
American president.
