INTERIOR DESIGN

I worked on many interior design projects while working for HighStreet design studio and lifestyle store in Cincinnati. These projects varied from commercial to residential, and from suburban homes to downtown lofts. We made sure the client’s needs were addressed while keeping true to the design studio’s aesthetic values.

This HighStreet client was a professional single woman living an active life in her downtown condominium. She had great taste but needed help making her place a little more lively and inviting.

The client had an active social life and needed a space where she could accommodate large groups of people and host dinner parties. She also needed help addressing the considerable amount of sunlight shining through her large windows.

First we selected the color palette, which captured the tones in the floor and the furniture she was interested in keeping. We then found the striking Paper Roses wallpaper by Cole and Son which inspired the design concept for the home.

The Clay Street Project was a commercial space acting as a creative think-tank retreat center for the client's employees.

We needed to design a space that was sensitive to the client’s unconventional methods of training and working. The staff needed storage space, dining space, carpeted floor space for exercise, desk quarters, and a closed in, quiet reading space which they defined as a "womb."

We collaborated with local craftsmen to custom build furniture and architectural fabric treatments to create room division and space definition in the multi-floor loft style space.

Since this client was an artist, it was important to design a space that would work as an inspiring backdrop for her artwork.

Sculptures, paintings, fiber arts and mixed media collages were some of the pieces we needed to showcase in this home. We pulled in colors from her artwork to create the palette : eggplant, chocolate, sage and wheat were the colors we wove through the house.

The kitchen was the only room in the house where artwork would not be a focal point. To keep the creative energy flowing, we found a bold Spanish tile in rust and cobalt for the kitchen. We covered the walls up to the ceiling along the countertop in the tile, to create a dramatic effect.

This client was an art lover with a green thumb who owned a modern condominium downtown.

I began work with the company just as this project was being completed. I assisted with the accessory selection and placement.

This home was featured on HGTV's What You Get For the Money.

This client owned a home in the Kenwood suburb of Cincinnati. She was a recent empty nester and was excited to finally live in a home with a cohesive design.

Creating comfortable gathering spaces was a priority for this project. The client had two boys in college who would come home for family meals and movie time.

We designed a special reading space in the sunroom, specifically for her. We added extra feminine touches here, since this was her favorite place in the house to spend time alone.
