A great designer doesn’t just bring your vision to life; they elevate it. That’s how we create spaces that are perfectly tailored to you and your lifestyle.
“WOW. Why didn’t we do this sooner?” is music to our ears. Our goal is to bring out the full potential of your home by highlighting what you love most and customizing the rest through a creative, sometimes out-of-the-box, approach that will both meet your needs and satisfy your unique aesthetic. In the end, you’ll have the home you’ve always wanted, one that fits your one-of-a-kind life.

Everyone deserves a home that makes them feel good. That’s why we believe interior design is a smart investment rather than a pretentious luxury.
Devoting resources to the place you spend so much of your life is important, and an intentional design and renovation process will ensure that you feel confident in how your money is budgeted.

The simple truth is that the choices we make for our homes do impact our planet and communities. It’s our responsibility to prevent that as much as possible.
We keep what you love, redesign what you wish to change, and responsibly discard or donate the rest. In fact, for every project we take on, we work with New Life Furniture Bank, a non-profit organization that – among other charitable endeavors – delivers donated furniture to vulnerable families in our community. Our clients can rest easy knowing we do our best to make the most out of what you leave behind.
MEET JACKIE
Growing up, I moved between the West side of Cincinnati, Hyde Park, Columbia Tusculum and now I’ve settled in Wyoming, Ohio.
This city values a rich tradition and culture, so when people come here, they usually end up staying. In fact, it seems to me that everything in Cincinnati is made to last. There is an obvious interest in history here, which comes through in the way our homes are constructed and designed.
I started my early professional career as a Psychologist (B.S.) and Sociologist (M.A.). Therefore, I understand at an empirical level that our surroundings have a direct impact on our mental and physical health.
And that’s how my business was born, through a combined fascination with what makes people tick and a passion for beautiful interior spaces. This makes for a well-informed interior designer.
My speciality?
I tailor forever homes to busy Cincinnati families. I encourage my clients to start their renovation or redesign journey by investing in their gathering areas and common spaces. These rooms play such a large role—serving many functions and fitting the needs of many people. That's why these spaces – the kitchen, dining, and family rooms – are my favorite spaces to work on.
Meet Sarah
Interior Designer
Sarah is a University of Cincinnati DAAP alumni with a BS in Architecture. She has experience in commercial workplace Architecture in Seattle and in custom home design in Cleveland.
Her background allows her to cleverly execute projects with a broad scope or those with structural aspects. Sarah’s adoration for Cincinnati ignited her passion for design and brought her back to the Queen City for good.
Sarah is an expert in 3D modeling and rendering. She creates show-stopping graphics that show clients a clear and finished concept for their space. In addition, she assists in designing spaces from the ground up- from drawing floor plans to choosing furniture, fixtures, and fabrics that will beautifully suit each individual client’s style and needs.
Outside of designing, Sarah enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, working on new crafts, or flipping thrifted furniture.
Meet Joanie
Interior Designer
Driven by her love for interiors and architecture, Joanie likes to explore the connection between art and space. Constantly seeking innovative ways to incorporate art into interior design, she experiments with focal points, a variety of mediums, and one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.
Her artistic flair is inspired by her surroundings, resulting in spaces that are not only unique but also visually captivating. Through a combination of bold colors and mixing patterns and textures, she creates intricate designs that bring style and personality to any environment.
In her free time, Joanie loves to explore her creative side, try out new restaurants and breweries, take leisurely strolls at the Cincinnati Nature Center, and cherish moments with her fur-babies, friends, and family.
Meet Matthew
Senior Project Manager
Born and raised in southwest Missouri, Matthew graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor degree in General Business followed by a Masters degree in Elementary Education. After spending fifteen wonderful years in the middle school classroom, he opted to apply his skill set gained in education with a longtime passion, interior design.
Driven by supporting others, Matthew thrives in creating meaningful relationships with our clients, providing communication and support throughout the design project. Matthew is results focused and excels at managing both small and large scale projects, being able to focus across the big picture as well as the fine details. Matthew will be a visible presence throughout your design project, but his role really begins after the design execution. You will hear from Matthew regarding order placements, contractor scheduling, billing, and likely a phone call now and then simply to say, “hello.” His primary goal is to ensure a smooth design experience from start to finish.
A lifelong learner at heart, Matthew craves new experiences, creative outlets, and opportunities to be surrounded by the beauty of nature. When not overseeing our design projects, you’ll find him traveling the world, heading out on weekend road trips, trying new restaurants, and enjoying the company of family and many friends.

We partner with new life furniture to make houses into homes
Giving Back
Their mission: Turn houses into homes.
When we work together, we’ll sort through your furniture and collect the pieces you’re ready to part with. Instead of sending those pieces off to some unknown location, we’ll place a request on your behalf for New Life Furniture Bank’s free haul-away service to come pick up those pieces and bring them to their site.
