With a refined eye for ambiance and a deep understanding of guest experience, I’m an interior designer specializing in hospitality environments that captivate, comfort, inspire, and tell a story. My portfolio spans vibrant restaurants, serene spas, and stylish salons—all designed to balance aesthetics with functionality, elevating the experience for every visitor.
I began my journey in hotel design 20 years ago, shaping destinations across the United States that fuse regional character with elevated hospitality. That foundation continues to inform my approach, allowing me to bring personality and purpose into each project while staying attuned to the owner’s goals.
My experience includes over a decade of leading design initiatives for a global restaurant brand where I worked on hundreds of restaurants across Asia, the Middle East, and Central America. I helped shape branded dining experiences that celebrate local culture while aligning with international prerequisites, operational needs, and brand standards.
Whether creating an international restaurant or imagining the aesthetics of a spa experience, I bring thoughtful creativity, technical precision, and a strong grasp of hospitality trends to every collaboration.
I absolutely love traveling and immersing myself in culture. I have been blessed to see five continents so far. A trip to Africa is on my bucket list! Closer to home, I enjoy getting outside for a hike, practicing yoga, or getting involved with the art scene.

Design is personal, and no one recognizes that better than Brandy. She believes that the most successful spaces are the ones that truly understand the people living in them.
Specializing in residential interiors with a strong emphasis on kitchens and baths, she blends refined aesthetics with functional precision, creating spaces that work seamlessly while feeling effortlessly elevated.
Her passion for wellness and movement influences her design philosophy. She is especially drawn to creating environments that promote flow, calm, and everyday ease. Whether designing a spa inspired bath or a high functioning kitchen, she considers how a space supports the rhythms of daily life.
When she isn’t obsessing over tile patterns or floor plans inside, Brandy is usually chasing adventure with her family and her mini golden doodle. You can find her carving through fresh powder on the ski slopes in the winter or captaining her boat through local waters in the summer. For Brandy, great design is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating a backdrop for a life well-lived.
