ABOUT

Hello! I'm Abigail,

a former corporate business consultant-turned-interior designer. I’m based in Chicago, open to travel, and also happy to offer virtual design options.

​I’m a big believer in making your home reflect YOU. Our homes are where we spend the majority of our time, and there are so many studies linking home décor/color/arrangement to happiness and comfort. Sometimes we need a little help pulling all of that together, creating a cohesive space and maximizing layouts. That’s where I come in!

In a field with lots and lots of options, why am I the designer for you?

ORGANIZATION is my middle name.

I can put together a detailed plan like nobody’s business. From the big details (selecting contractors for labor and sub-projects or establishing major milestones across the project) to the tiny things (where should drawer knobs be placed), an Excel spreadsheet with a million line items is my best friend.

RESPONSIVENESS is my calling card.

Sometimes creative types are amazing at putting together a vision board but really fall down on the follow-through. Working with me is a true partnership. Thanks to my years of working with senior leaders of large organizations, I understand the importance of consistent follow-up and communication. There’s nothing worse than feeling like you are spending a bunch of money and don’t know where things stand.

EXECUTION is what I do best.

Plans are terrific, but if you can’t realize them, it doesn’t really matter much. When I set out to do something, I will work with you to capture and confirm all the details, and I will make sure all the contractors, services, relevant décor details and choices are made – and I will be held accountable for on-time delivery.

BUDGET WIZARDRY is my strength, and I believe firmly in NO SURPRISES ever.

Interior design costs money; that’s just the reality. Fortunately, I have managed budgets in excess of $3 Million throughout my career. I treat those corporate budgets as if they’re coming from my own bank account. At the end of the day, I want you to be happy with your home and feel that all the money spent was a worthwhile investment. This means that full transparency and collaborative decision-making are hallmarks of how I do business.

So if you’re looking for a creative designer who will truly listen to what you want your home to look and feel like, and seamlessly bring that vision to life, please reach out!

I’d love to chat and see how I can bring joy, beauty, and delight to your home.
