About the Studio

The Plumage
of Permanence

Coracias Caudatus™ was founded on a single, radical conviction: that a space, designed with total devotion and absolute mastery, can alter the course of a life.

Our name — the Coracias Caudatus, or Racket-tailed Roller — is no accident. This extraordinary bird, native to the grasslands and savannahs of East Africa, carries across its wings an entire palette of what luxury can be: deep midnight blues, architectural teals, iridescent violets, and champagne golds. It is nature's own designer.

We translate this chromatic brilliance into structural reality. Every commission we accept is treated as a unique act of creation — not a service, but a collaboration. We work with a selective number of clients each year to ensure that every project receives the full weight of our studio's attention, passion, and expertise.

Our atelier operates across four continents, with permanent studios in New York, Dubai, Paris, and Tokyo. We partner with the world's finest artisans, craftspeople, and material houses to ensure that what we design can be realized at the absolute highest level of quality.

The Founder

Ajahanna De Vargas

Principal Designer & Founder

“Every endeavor should leave the world better than it found it — one space, one life, one legacy at a time.”

Ajahanna Valentine De Vargas is a dynamic force of creativity, philanthropy, and entrepreneurial vision. Born in the heart of Beverly Hills and proudly embracing her identity as a “Westy Girl,” she epitomizes the artistry and ambition that define Los Angeles at its finest. A 2026 Global Recognition Award recipient for Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy and a 2023 Marquis Who’s Who Woman of Influence, she has been recognized on the international stage as one of the influential leaders shaping American society — and beyond.

A seven-time nominated, five-time award-winning actress with international acclaim — including recognition for Best Actress — Ajahanna’s gifts have never been confined to a single medium. She is also a talk show host, recording artist, author, and painter whose work is consistently rooted in faith, purpose, and the stories of people who deserve to be seen.

Her journey into interior design began with instinct and a single transformative project — designing a traditional Asian-themed patio for a friend in Brentwood, California. That spark grew into a full creative calling: consulting on floor-to-ceiling architectural layouts for mountaintop mansions in Baldwin Hills, designing boutique clothing stores, and crafting immersive set designs for independent films. Each project deepened a signature aesthetic that is bold, soulful, and unmistakably her own.

Today, as Founder and Principal Designer of Coracias Caudatus Interiors & Design, LLC, Ajahanna channels that vision into every client relationship — transforming each space into a sanctuary that reflects the client’s truest self through fabric, texture, tone, and light. The firm operates under Coracias Caudatus Holdings, Inc., the dedicated holding company for the Coracias Caudatus brand family — itself a distinguished enterprise within the Valen Prit Bohdan Holdings, Inc. master portfolio.

As Executive Director of The De Jurè Ahmi Foundation, Inc., a faith-based Georgia 501(c)(3), Ajahanna extends her reach far beyond the design studio. A certified Social Inclusion Officer, international legislative advocate, and honors law student concentrating in international business law and human services, her advocacy carries both quiet resolve and global consequence. She has been honored with a personal invitation from the Warri Kingdom of Nigeria to attend the Coronation Anniversary and Business Forum — a recognition of her standing as a trusted global leader and bridge-builder across cultures and continents.
