Design Essentials PNW

* Women Owned

Based in Tacoma with a Pacific Northwest reach, this residential interior design studio foregrounds a people-first methodology that helps homeowners imagine possibilities before construction begins. The guiding principle, Clarity Before Construction, translates into plan reviews, deliberate space planning, and decisive decision support so daily living informs every choice—from layout to finishes. With more than two decades shaping homes for real life, the team blends thoughtful strategy with hands-on execution, drawing on experience from serving as Art Director and Design Stylist for HGTV's Restored and collaborating with national builders. The result is spaces that feel purposefully designed for how people actually live today and how they will tomorrow.
