What Our Clients Say
Claire helped us with a full remodel of our main living space, bathroom, guest bedrooms, and kitchen. We loved working with her, and the end result was absolutely beautiful. Later, when we sold the home, we ended up receiving the highest price per foot on record in our neighborhood.
Claire was amazing! In our 1-hour Zoom meeting, she was able to address every issue. She suggested pieces and colors that not only flowed with the existing design but tied everything together. What I was most impressed with was how she could go right to what she was looking for, and it would be exactly what I had been wanting but unable to create myself.
I have used Claire for three big projects now (two residential and one commercial) and I absolutely love working with her. The design is always incredible and exactly what I wanted. Her dedication and industry knowledge are top-notch, and there’s no one else I would work with.
Frequently Asked Questions
Start by filling out our Project Inquiry Form below. Our team will review your submission and be in touch to discuss next steps.
We begin by getting to know you: your goals, lifestyle, and how you want your space to feel. Then, we bring your vision to life through thoughtful and elevated design. We keep an open dialogue throughout the process so the final result feels distinctly and effortlessly yours.
Timelines vary depending on the size and scope of your project. Working with an Austin interior designer on a full-service new build or remodel may take several months to over a year. Furnishing-only projects or consultations typically wrap up more quickly.
Once we understand your needs, we’ll provide a tailored project timeline and update you every step of the way.
This will vary depending on the scope of your project (full service, interior furnishings or consultation).
Investments range from $450 per hour for consulting services to a minimum of $15,000 for full-scope projects.
Let’s design something beautiful together.

Good plans. Always a step ahead in the building process. Very collaborative mindset. Most of all the clients loved working with her.
The renderings were almost exactly like the final product. I am a very visual person and it was so nice to be able to see the space as it would be even before completion. Additionally, I have always appreciated that she can help me decide where to spend my budget for the greatest impact and then where we could pull back without compromising the overall aesthetic. Claire can read my mind and is always able to translate my vision in to a reality. Now I am able to step into a physical representation of my dreams every day thanks to Claire and her team!
There are so many micro decisions to make along the way and having Claire there to guide us in both the big decisions in the beginning (design, architecture, flow of space, cabinets, paint colors, etc.) all the way down to the tiny decisions like baseboard and trim, exact cabinet hardware, how to deal with an awkward corner, etc. was so invaluable. Our kitchen turned out better than I could have ever imagined when we started the project and I'm so grateful for Claire's patience (it was a long process!) and attention throughout.
Claire was a wealth of knowledge and a joy to work with! Highly recommend booking a session with her.
Working with Claire was such a joy! She was responsive, understood the direction I wanted to go, and offered so much helpful context and additional perspectives when we felt stuck or weren't sure what our options even were.
It has always been wonderful working with Claire. She designed my salon remodel, as well as the most recent new build location. She has also designed various projects in my personal home and each experience is better than the last. As her team has grown I still get the same personal touch I did when it was just Claire—although now you feel like you have a team of people all supporting you to reach your goals.
Claire is fantastic! Incredibly talented, engaging, nice, and effective. We covered a tremendous amount of ground in just one hour thanks to her wisdom, breadth of knowledge and practical advice on specific brands, materials and measurements. I got so much out of our session that I immediately booked another one. She is the exact person you want to make your home beautiful, collected and harmonious. Highly recommend!
I just love how it all came together. It can be really hard to visualize the end product and also trust that it will look as incredible as you envision in your mind. We ended up with our dream kitchen and I am just so pleased with how each detail blends seamlessly into the next and it all worked together to create the perfect space.
Claire was so wonderful to speak with and extremely helpful with tips and suggestions for all facets of my project. It's actually amazing how much you can accomplish in the allotted timeframe; not to mention the helpful follow-up product links and summary of the consultation. I ended up booking another meeting with Claire to jump into more elements of our project(s).... and definitely hope to get more time with her in the future!
Claire was amazing! In our 1 hour zoom she was able to address every issue. She suggested pieces and colors that not only flowed with the existing design but tied everything together. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. What I was most impressed with was how she could go right to what she was looking for and it would be exactly what I had been wanting but unable to create myself. I'm so happy I did this and would recommend to anyone needing fresh eyes in their space or just starting.
Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed with Claire and her design process. Partner with a good builder and the final product will be stunning!
This is my second Expert session with Claire and just wow! Each session feels like a Matrix style download of all of her awesome pearls of wisdom. We even get to my "we won't have time, but I wonder what she thinks about X, Y, and Z" questions. I don't just leave our sessions informed, but also feeling very encouraged about how to realize our goals for our home. I plan to continue meeting with Claire throughout our reno and love the Expert!
