Christie Leu
PRINCIPLE DESIGNER
Hi, I'm Christie Leu, an artist turned-interior-designer. For 15 years, I made original, functional, fine crafts. After completing several major renovations to a series of my own homes, I turned my expertise with color, composition, and organization into an Associate Degree of Applied Sciences in Interior Design with a specialization in Kitchen & Bath Design.
I grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, where I developed an appreciation for wonderful architecture and design. I graduated from Purdue University with majors in French and Psychology and a minor in Art. I currently live in Chevy Chase, MD, with my family of five children (which includes a set of triplets!). Family organization is one of my strengths. Ask me how we can build in beautiful custom storage!
I look forward to helping you through the daunting and complicated process of home improvements.

Bryn Schmitt
DESIGN ASSOCIATE
Bryn honed her communication and customer service skills at The Ritz Carlton where she managed sales and event planning for social and corporate clients. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm for all things design have been assets to our firm since 2016.
Fun fact: Just like Christie, Bryn became the mother of triplets in 2006. What are the odds?
Bryn manages all the moving parts of our client projects and her skills as a juggler of multiples are excellent at reducing client stress levels. She loves the challenge of sourcing, ordering and tracking furniture and maintains our exceptional vendor relations.
Bryn grew up in central California and currently lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband and three children.
