Meet the Designer

Renee is, first and foremost, a devoted wife and mother whose family remains her daily inspiration and top priority. Currently stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas, where her husband serves as a Naval Aviator, she balances the busy lives of her two elementary-aged children with her passion for creating beautiful spaces. When she isn't in her studio, you’ll likely find her enjoying the Texas sun by the pool with her family, lost in a great book, or doting on her three beloved chihuahuas. A native of Michigan, she still cherishes retreating to her home state every summer to recharge in the Northern Michigan temperatures.

​

Professionally, Renee brings a sophisticated blend of academic training and field experience to every project. A graduate of Western Michigan University with a degree in Interior Design and Business, she possesses the unique ability to marry artistic vision with project management.

​

With a career spanning residential and small-scale commercial design, Renee has developed a focus in renovations and new construction. Her background allows her to look past the surface of a room to understand its potential, ensuring that every design is as functional as it is beautiful. Whether she is navigating the technicalities of custom cabinetry or selecting the final decorative touches, Renee’s goal is to provide her clients with a seamless, professional experience rooted in a genuine understanding of what makes a house feel like a home.

                  "Interior design is more than just aesthetics; it's about enhancing the way people

                                      live, work and interact with their surroundings."

Design Approach

​Renee’s design philosophy is based on the belief that an exceptional space should be a reflection of its users, not just a showcase of new trends.

​

Whether you’re planning a high-end luxury renovation or a modest room refresh, she approaches every project with the same level of creativity and dedication. With the understanding that true style doesn't require a high price tag, Renee has the ability to integrate a client’s existing, cherished pieces with fresh elements to create a cohesive narrative. By working within your specific parameters—be it budget, architectural constraints, or an eclectic mix of personal belongings—she tailors the design to meet your unique needs.

 

From minimalist modernism to layered traditionalism, Renee doesn’t impose a signature look; instead, she acts as the bridge between your vision and a functional, beautiful reality.
