About Us
Owner and Principal Designer
“What I love about Interior Design is the creative process in transforming a space and the happy satisfaction I get from helping people discover their own style”
Trained at the Metropolitan School of Interior Design and with a background as an Artistic Stylist, Shakira has developed a passion and a meticulous eye for design.
"My design style reflects how we live our lives today. It's a design philosophy centered on blending elements of traditionalism and modern sensibilities, mixing periods and design ideas to create a custom environment that is livable and timeless. My goal is to create a beautiful space comfortable enough to live your life in, not around. I work diligently to ensure that my design solutions enhance the lives of my clients, not just the look of their environment."

Your home should tell your story, not mine
Your home should be a personal haven, reflective of your lifestyle and personality. Each project is an expression of the owner's unique style, values and preferences. Client participation is encouraged in every phase of the design process, from selection to implementation. When I begin a project I strive to understand my client's lifestyle, desires and concerns while developing a cohesive overview of the space to create the most desirable outcome.
Great style is accessible on any budget
You can have a beautifully styled space without breaking the bank. Sometimes all that is needed is a decorating advisor to help with the finishing touches. I can assist in selecting accessories, art, paint colors, a new rug or accent pillows, etc... to add that wow factor and pull all of the elements together. Whether you need an hour or two of design guidance for one room or your entire home, we offer various design packages to fit your needs at costs significantly below retail. It takes a committed partnership with our clients to deliver a customized design solution.
