Meagan M. Murphree- Principal

Meagan’s passion for color, art, culture, and beautiful things started at an early age. These passions combined with her love to work with people; it wasn’t surprising to anyone when she succeeded in becoming a talented Interior Designer. She developed a keen eye for style and design not only with study, but through travel and experience. Meagan’s design philosophy is that the mark of a good designer is not having one distinct style or look and repeating it for every client, but rather discovering the style of each client and translating it into a work of art.

Crystal Y. Lashley- Principal

Crystal's love for architecture and interior design began as a child. By age 15, she knew she wanted to be in the design field and began her first job with an interior design firm. Her zeal for interior details and space planning led to her to the design principal of not only designing for form, but also function. Crystal listens to each client's desires and creates a space that is aesthetically pleasing and functional for day to day living.
