Shelly McDonald, Founder & Principle Designer
Hi, I'm Shelly—designer, nature-lover, and your go-to designer for warm, intentional interiors.
Before I found my way to interior design, I spent years in luxury wedding and event planning—creating meaningful moments and managing every detail behind the scenes. It was during those years that I realized my favorite part was always the environment itself: how a space could completely transform an experience. That realization sparked a career shift, and I’ve never looked back.
Design is more than a job for me—it’s one of the greatest joys of my life. I love using this creative outlet to craft the backdrops where your memories will unfold. I bring a hands-on, thoughtful approach to every project, staying involved from concept to completion to ensure your home feels as good as it looks.
When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me outdoors—camping, road-tripping, or soaking up the sun with my golden retriever, Dug. My husband and I are currently on a mission to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks. That love of nature shows up in my work too, through earthy textures, layered neutrals, and organic materials—elements inspired by the landscapes we explore together.
