Interior design has been, for Mr. Braswell, a "spiritual quest." "Blessed are the beautifiers, for they see God in everything they do," he said. "This work may deal in things, but it is really, truly, at heart, about the people who occupy the space, use the things. If design is good, it makes the people whom it serves better people. It is very difficult to be mean spirited in an uplifting environment. That, ultimately, is what I try, at my best, to deliver." His love of beauty and gifts for working with people have made Mr. Braswell's residential work a favorite among some of the 20th Century's most powerful personalities including captains of industry, moguls of media and even Saudi Arabian royalty. His designs have not only graced the interiors of hundreds of residences in many of the world's most exclusive locales, but airplanes, palaces, offices, shops, restaurants and ship (including the M.Y. Alexander, the longest private yacht in the world) as well. Mr. Braswell, semi-retired living in Pensacola, Florida, continues consulting work with many previous clients as well as continuing studies in the arts and sciences. |
