I’m writing to express my sincere interest in a full-time, live-on-property role in the South of France or Italy. With a background that blends high-end estate management, design, lifestyle support, and a magazine editor’s eye for detail, I offer the kind of refined, hands-on presence that makes a household run beautifully—quietly, efficiently, and with unmistakable style.
As a former Magazine Director and now an Interior Decorator and Writer/Content Creator, I’ve devoted my career to creating elevated, intentional environments. For the past several years, I’ve worked closely with high-net-worth families as a trusted estate manager, stylist, and Executive Personal Assistant in the Hamptons and Hudson Valley. My work spans everything from home renovations and event planning to wardrobe management, floral design, and private travel coordination.
I’m deeply comfortable living on property and genuinely love becoming a behind-the-scenes steward of a home—whether that means overseeing maintenance schedules, managing seasonal transitions, preparing for guest arrivals, or planting a garden. I roll up my sleeves without hesitation and pride myself on creating environments that are not only functional, but full of grace, calm, and beauty.
Some of the services I regularly provide include:
Interior decorating, staging, and renovation oversight
Full-spectrum estate management and staff coordination
Private chef procurement, menu planning, and entertaining
Wardrobe styling, closet organization, and luxury consignment
Beauty/wellness consulting and personal shopping
Travel planning, vehicle logistics, and social media management
Guest preparation, home arrival setup (flowers, wine, linens, etc. )
Raised between NYC and the Hamptons, Ivy League-educated, and with a long-standing love of European culture, I bring an old-world sensibility with modern capability. I speak conversational French and am eager to immerse myself in a household that values discretion, warmth, and a well-run, artful life.
I am currently based in the Hamptons and would be happy to connect via Zoom or phone. Relocation is not just a possibility—it’s my goal, and I would be honored to be considered for any live-in roles where my background and aesthetic would be a fit.
Warmest regards,
Sophie Knight
