Like a big umbrella, we do everything within these specific areas. We specialize in conceptual design, design development, construction drawings, construction administration, procurement, and installation for new construction and renovation projects.

Love Your Space

How we do it

“Morgan is magic. She saw my project in a way that I couldn’t put into words, found amazing pieces I would never have discovered, and turned my home into a place I didn’t think was possible. Not only does she have an eye for beautiful and unexpected things, but she’s also the kindest person. This project, and everything she touches, is a dream for anyone who works with her.”

– Lindsay C.

1.

We listen.

Communication is everything, and that’s where we begin. To us, a project is so much more than the finished work. It’s about kindness and good relationships in our collaboration. If we start our work together over coffee and a scone, we’re on our way!

2.

We collaborate and design.

Design and people are not cookie cutters, and while our drawings are exact, we also like to venture a bit outside the lines of design. We are proud to curate functional solutions with surprising details, and we believe that unexpected touches finish a space—especially when they come from local artists. 

3.

We create the best team.

You’re the starting point, and we build relationships around you. We love working with all tradespeople, contractors, electricians, plumbers, flooring specialists, and anyone else that brings talent to your project. 

4.

We reach the finish line together.

We like to care for everyone and everything, and we do that from day one. We love to be on-site, work collaboratively with the team, and ensure it’s a positive experience until the final reveal.   

About Us

Morgan Rose Rand

I love bringing joy to space, especially when it looks different for everyone. 

For me, it’s unexpected whimsical details and filling my home with local artisans’ works.

For you? That’s what I can’t wait to discover.

I have a Fine Arts background and experience in corporate design and high-end residential. I appreciate every single person that goes into a project, and I love the communication and collaboration that goes into making beautiful spaces.
