Building a sanctuary requires a level of care and consideration that goes into crafting each space. Carissa believes that good design can help elevate the way a person lives on a functional level, and equally important, also plays into transforming our mental and emotional aspect. This all affects our quality of life for the better. There is an awareness that a space created in a sacred way can help inspire, create peace, elevate and energize, and create a place to retreat to.

Starting each project with a clear purpose and intention for our clients helps our design process from conception to completion and continues to permeate in the finished space. The clarity gained from understanding the theme and general feeling they want to step into within each room as well as the goals they have in their lives, dictates the direction we go architecturally, with our finish color palette and into the furniture accessory decisions.

Lasting change in our clients’ lives is what we are hoping to achieve through design on both the aesthetic level as well as how they feel every day in their spaces. We help them truly understand the “why” behind their initial decision to undergo the change and renovation process. We help guide them there.
