My love for movies and TV shows, their worlds, their moods, their characters is what first pushed me to start TTCH Grove. It’s named after my full name, but adding “Grove” grounded it in something more textural, more elemental. Earthy, raw, olive toned.
One quiet Sunday night, I came up with TTCH Grove as well as the name Olivarium. It’s not a real word, just “olive” and “arium” fused together. But it made sense, a contained space dedicated to design, and imagination.
I kept thinking: what if fictional characters had real rooms? Not replicas of film sets, but spaces that reflected who they are beneath the script. I wanted to build a website that brings fictional lives into physical design reality.
I am also very interested in Architectural Digest. The way they walked you through celebrity homes, glossy but intimate and something that was never boring to me. It showed how spaces tell stories. I wanted to do the same, just not with celebrities, but with characters.
So I created a place where storytelling meets interiors. Where moodboards aren’t just pretty, they’re personal. A space to explore identity through texture, form, and furniture.
And of course, an ode to olives.
Every part of this site, from concept to code was built by me. I didn’t hire a team. I just worked, learned, refined, and kept going.
