INTERIOR DESIGN & CREATIVE DIRECTION
Every project begins with a conversation about how you live, what you love, and what you envision for your space. From there, we develop a creative direction through space planning, inspiration, color palettes, and material selections, refining each element as the design takes shape. From flooring and finishes to lighting, fixtures, and architectural details, we guide the decisions that bring it all together.
FURNISHINGS & STYLING
Some of the most beautiful pieces come from knowing where to look—and who to know. Through relationships cultivated with artisans, artists, antique dealers, and trusted vendors in Santa Fe and far beyond New Mexico, we source furnishings, textiles, lighting, art, and one-of-a-kind finds that bring something special to a space. It's a personal, layered approach to creating interiors with warmth, character, and a sense of individuality that can't simply be bought off a showroom floor.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
More than a beautiful vision—it takes the right people and careful attention to the details along the way. Whether working with your own contractors or connecting you with our trusted tradespeople, we help coordinate the many moving parts of your project, from collaborating with builders and vendors to tracking orders, deliveries, and installations. When a project calls for architectural design or drafting expertise, our partnership with local architectural designer provides access to those additional services, keeping the process collaborative and the design vision consistent from start to finish.
Full Service Custom Home Interior
Building a custom home is a rare opportunity to create something truly personal, and is a process that begins long before furniture arrives. Heather collaborates with homeowners, architects, and builders from the earliest stages of new construction, considering everything from spatial flow and architectural finishes to cabinetry, lighting, furnishings, and the smallest details. The result is a home that feels deeply personal and thoughtfully considered from the inside out.
Large Scale ReMODELS & Renovations
Whether renovating a historic Santa Fe home, modernizing an outdated interior, or reconfiguring a floor plan to better accommodate the way you live, Heather approaches large-scale remodels with an appreciation for the home's existing architecture and its potential. From space planning and room reconfigurations to millwork, flooring, lighting, architectural finishes, and the selection of furnishings throughout. She works closely with contractors and skilled tradespeople, with access to architectural design and CAD drafting services when structural changes or more extensive planning are required. Throughout the process, Heather helps navigate the many decisions involved in a remodel, thoughtfully balancing the home's original character with the comforts and possibilities of modern living.
Kitchen & Bathroom Design
Kitchens and bathrooms are among the most personal and frequently used spaces in a home, where thoughtful design makes all the difference. From the layout and flow to custom cabinetry, beautiful stone, tile, fixtures, hardware, and lighting, Heather considers how each detail looks, feels, and functions in everyday life. Paying particular attention to selecting materials that are as practical as they are beautiful, from durable, low-maintenance stone surfaces that can withstand the demands of a busy kitchen to finishes that hold up beautifully to daily use. Every choice is guided by the home's architecture, your personal style, and the little details that make these spaces a pleasure to live in.
Whole-Home Furnishings & Interior Styling
For homes that don't require construction but could benefit from a fresh perspective, Heather offers complete furnishing, styling, and staging services. From furniture layouts and sourcing to selecting lighting, rugs, window treatments, art, and decorative pieces, she thoughtfully layers new acquisitions with existing favorites and meaningful finds to create rooms that feel collected rather than simply decorated. Whether furnishing a primary residence or second home, refreshing an existing interior, or staging a property for sale, photography, or presentation, Heather brings a discerning eye to proportion, placement, and the finishing details that make a space feel inviting, personal, and beautifully considered.
Commercial & Boutique Design
Distinctive spaces leave lasting impressions. Heather brings her personal design sensibility to select commercial projects, including boutique retail, hospitality, offices, and intimate gathering spaces. From sourcing a few key furnishings, art, and statement pieces to developing the creative direction and interior design for an entire space, her involvement is tailored to the needs of each business.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION
Beautiful design is only part of the process. Heather works closely with contractors, craftspeople, vendors, and other project professionals to help bring each detail together as envisioned. From coordinating selections and sourcing custom furnishings to attending project meetings, overseeing installations, and addressing the unexpected, she serves as a trusted point of contact throughout the design process, helping clients navigate their projects with confidence and peace of mind.
A Personal Approach,
From Beginning to End
No two homes, clients, or projects are quite alike, and that's precisely what makes the work interesting. Whether you're building from the ground up, breathing new life into a familiar space, or simply ready to make your home feel more like you, Heather approaches every collaboration with curiosity, care, and an appreciation for the details that make a space personal to you.
