Interiors designed to inspire better living

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

Many moons ago when I was in graphic design school I had a typography professor who said, “People don’t necessarily recognize good typography but they can tell when it’s bad.” I think this notion plays out in many facets of our lives, not least of which the spaces where we spend time.

We’ve all had the experience of being in someone’s home or a public space where it just feels good.. I think for many it can be difficult to articulate why — it just is. The reality is that famous Maya Angelou quote is true. The lasting feeling sticks with us, even if we’re talking about a space.

Previously I had a career in graphic design, branding, and marketing. Some of my favorite parts of the work revolved around the design of experiences and environments for people — the employees for whom I was in service to, customers that we wanted to understand how our products aligned with their values, and businesses eager for their brand to come to life in the physical environment.

Anne Holbrook Interior Design was born from the idea that the spaces we spend time in have a profound impact on how they make us feel. We hold a philosophy that if a space has been intentionally designed in service to the people who spend time in it, that ultimately has an impact in how they move about their life. Our hope is that it’s not just about a beautiful and functional space but that the day to day experience of the space inspires people to live better. Our aim is to inspire better living through the spaces we design. Lofty? Yes, of course. Unattainable? Absolutely not.
