Stephanie Schaeffer
Owner and Principal Designer
As a dreamy nine-year-old, I spent endless hours designing fully furnished underground condos for prairie dogs. Frivolous as that was, it should have been a clue as to where my creative inspirations might one day lead. My path would take me through other rewarding professions and adventures. But, I’ve always had design projects of one kind or another in the works, whether home, fashion or art-related, and always with the objective of achieving visual beauty and balance.
Prior to receiving my degree in Interior Design, I received degrees in both music and psychology, preparing me to be an empathetic listener and a creative problem-solver. My years managing programs for top tech companies gave me the vital skills of effectively communicating with clients and contractors, and maintaining schedules. My mission is to create designs which are not only functional and stylish, but will ultimately make my clients feel that the space is uniquely theirs. A well-designed interior should make us feel like we're hearing our favorite song, or eating our favorite food. Comfort and bliss - these are the pleasures good design can bring.
