To some people, renovating a home sounds like an expensive headache. But to Soiti Roy Anderson, it’s a creative outlet. Anderson’s six-person company is known for an aesthetic that combines minimalism with warmth. She describes her vision as a mix of Scandinavian and South Asian design principles (she’s of Bengali and Burmese ancestry), and you can see it in her own home, where the pillars in the living room are painted pastel pink and the bedroom is dominated by a stark, massive bathtub.

Anderson’s approach to interior design also applies to getting dressed. A self-described minimalist, she likes to balance comfort (she spends most of her time on construction sites, after all) with well-made basics. The Cut caught up with her at home, where she talked about how to make work boots look stylish, her love of all-white outfits, and why her clothing choices can make or break a client deal.

On what she wears daily: My go-to shoes are either Sorel boots or Nike Dunk Sky Hi wedges. I’ll wear them both in winter and summer — they don’t look chunky, and they work equally well with my outfits. They both have felt linings that feel nice against my skin, and they add just enough height that I feel stylish and comfortable.
On what she wears to big meetings: I like to wear crisp white outfits — they have a calming effect in an intense environment, and they give me extra confidence. I like to throw my Helmut Lang blazer over a simple Acne or COS white dress. Or I’ll wear it with a white oversize Hanes T-shirt and Levi’s jeans.
