Hi, I’m Debbie. After 12 years as an award-winning residential interior designer with ML Interiors Group, I moved north, slowed things down, and traded luxury design projects for a more relaxed, affordable approach to help people love their homes.
We packed up more than furniture — my husband, our golden retriever Norman, and my mother-in-law all made the move to a fantastic multi-generational house near Long Lake just outside of Traverse City.
As a former Army brat who has lived all over the country, my design perspective isn’t tied to one style, region, or aesthetic — just what works best for people in their home and how they live.
Does your home make you happy? If the answer is no, let’s figure out why. My philosophy is simple: thoughtful and budget-friendly design with honest guidance- a home that feels like you, only better.
The story behind the spaces…
“I traded high heels and blistering Texas heat for snow boots and easy lake breezes- bringing expert but affordable design services to real people.”

“I’ve worked with Debbie twice, 10 yrs apart. The first time was to furnish and decorate our house, and then again last year as we just completed a full remodel. Debbie is one of the most talented professional designers I’ve ever worked with. She listened to what I wanted and made it better than I could’ve imagined.
I highly recommend her to anyone who asks.”

Working with Debbie on our home remodel was an incredible experience. She took the time to truly understand how we live, what we needed, and what mattered most to us—and then brought it all to life in a way we never could have imagined. She was mindful of our budget while still creating a space that feels elevated, cohesive, and absolutely stunning.
Every part of our home feels intentional and uniquely ours, thanks to her.

We highly recommend Debbie…She is the Best!
