Meet Josiane A. Raphael
Luxury Guide’s 2025 Design Curator
Josiane A. Raphael is a French-trained architect and interior designer with over three decades of international experience creating interiors that are as refined as they are emotionally resonant. As the founder and creative force behind Ebotan Interiors, Josiane is known for designing ultra-luxury spaces that celebrate bold elegance, global influence, and cultural storytelling.
Born in Cameroon and now based in South Florida, Josiane’s journey has taken her through Paris, New York, and Washington, D.C.—each city adding depth to her aesthetic and perspective. Her diverse portfolio includes residential palaces in Africa and France, African embassies in the U.S., and high-end private residences across the country. Her work seamlessly blends architectural discipline with richly layered interiors, offering clients a full-service design experience that includes strategic planning, 3D renderings, space planning, FF&E selection, and project management.
At the heart of Josiane’s design philosophy is a deep reverence for heritage, craftsmanship, and individuality. Every project is approached as a narrative, thoughtfully composed to reflect the client’s personal journey while upholding timeless sophistication.
Expanding her creative vision, Josiane is also launching Maison Ebotan, a signature home décor collection featuring wallpaper, artisan leather goods, and curated accessories. This new venture completes the Ebotan universe—an ever-evolving expression of culture, artistry, and distinctive luxury.
