behind the design

about Kayla 

Whether it was gathering around the family table or enjoying a crisp fall morning with a cup of coffee, these early memories shaped my love for creating homes that are filled with warmth, nostalgia, and a sense of belonging.

Now with over a decade of working as an interior designer, I've perfected the art of blending timeless design with personal touches to create spaces that honor your family’s story and encourage connection. My hope is that together we can slow down, embrace the beauty of home, and create interiors that will be cherished for years to come.

I was born and raised in the heart of small-town Pennsylvania, which is where I first learned to appreciate life’s simplest moments..
