PRINCIPAL DESIGNER/OWNER
Joey Paull Yoder
One could say I have been designing my whole life. My love of interiors began when I was young. Much effort and love went into arranging and re-arranging my room to highlight my latest treasure. This love was nurtured by my Mom who took me to flea markets to comb for treasures, who had to have a theme at each and every party so we could decorate the house accordingly, and who encouraged and supported my traveling so I could see the amazing architecture throughout this diverse world.
And travel I did - twenty-six countries so far and counting! My many adventures have been filled with breath taking scenery, inspired European castles, diverse churches and cathedrals, crammed cityscapes and serene country sides. These adventures have shaped not only who I am, but how I see the world and the beauty of design within it.
Prior to returning to school to obtain my BS in Interior Design, I had a career in hospitality sales and management. I love that industry for it taught me how important customer service and integrity is in business, and in life. It taught me excellent organizations skills, how to be an effective problem solver, and the value of a safe and comfortable space to call your own. These lessons translate nicely into interior design. It is not all about choosing furniture and pretty pillows - although that is part of the fun of it – there are countless decisions, a multitude of details and the ability to problem solve and effectively execute a plan. It is about educating your client and advising what isn't always the easiest but the best for the overall project, aesthetic and budget. It is about relationships… spending time getting to know you, how you live, entertain, where you love to travel and where you feel your most at peace. All the details to create a space that is you.
The details transform a space and create a feeling and tone that reflects the people that dwell there. It makes the space personal. A well-designed space tells their story; it’s an insight into their family, their history and their passions. I believe in designing for the person you are now and the person you are becoming. It is our job as your design team to push you past your comfort zone, elevate the overall aesthetic and design a space that you will be proud of for years to come.
