Process and Credentials

    Clients hire me because they want to spend less time “articulating their vision” and more time living their lives knowing I have everything covered.
    Skye Howell Henley
    Principal Designer

    I’m not your typical
    interior designer. 

    • I’ll design living spaces that manifest the life you want to lead.
    • Married? I’ll incorporate the style of both spouses to look like one cohesive vision.
    • I’ll spec products that are breathtaking, durable, and sustainable.

    PROMISE

    • I won’t bait and switch high end concepts with low-end big box products
    • I steer clear of vanity brands that don’t deliver performance and won’t last
    • My sustainable designs won’t look green, rustic, and recycled — unless that’s what you want

    CREDENTIALS

    • Bellevue College, CIDA-approved Interior Design program
    • Sustainable Furnishings Council, SFC Green Leadership training
    • Property Management, 8 years managing contractors & remodeling homes
    • Studio artist, transforming theatrical stages into other worlds

    VALUES

    • Community Support: a portion of every sale is reinvested to support the tireless work of my favorite non-profits.
    • Environmental sustainability considerations are built into every design I present to clients; but I’ll honor your decision to accept or reject these options.
    • Integrity: My work is rooted in transparency, honesty, candid dialogue, inclusion, and fairness.

    PROCESS

    1. Chemistry & Commitment– we interview each other. Are we a fit in terms of needs, timing, and budget – and will we enjoy working together?
    2. Design phase – walk the site, discuss the life you want to live, then you relax while I produce floor plans, CAD renderings, and product selections.
    3. Project management – I supervise procurement and work with contractors to ensure the project truly delivers, without shortcuts that compromise our vision.
    4. The big reveal – this is the moment when I hope you fall in love.
