Our Team

It all started at our kitchen table.

“Why don’t you just give this design thing a shot,” he said to me in late 2013…

Famous. Last. Words.

After careers as an international flight attendant, running nightclubs in New York City, working in real estate, and then as a project manager for a successful house-flipping company, I finally took the leap into something that had always been calling me: interior design. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a full-time pursuit — and before long, a thriving business.

Today, Design Shop Interiors (DSI) is a nationally recognized, California-based interior design studio and lifestyle brand known for creating timeless, collected interiors that feel both elevated and lived-in. Our small but mighty team of 20 talented women offers everything from in-home styling and sourcing to full-service interior design for residential projects.

In 2019, after a series of successful DSI pop-up shops, The Shop™ was born. Our curated retail storefront, located in Granite Bay, California, features custom upholstery, timeless furniture, collected home decor, and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces — all the beautiful things DSI projects are known for.

As the business evolved, I asked my husband — my biggest supporter and calm in the chaos — to leave his corporate career and build this dream with me. We didn’t have a roadmap, but we had vision, grit, and a shared belief that we could create something special. And it’s only just the beginning.

Our favorite phrase is: “Teamwork makes the dream work!”
