Being a Lead Designer at BHI allows me the ability to use both my technical side and creative side to bring together projects from start to finish. With over ten years of experience in architectural design, my passion lies in the details! From coordinating millwork profiles all the way to selecting the perfect piece to furnish the space, I enjoy the challenge that each new project provides. The best part of my job is getting to know each homeowner and being able to work with the entire design team to make their vision a reality!

As an interior designer with over 10 years of experience, I’m passionate about helping homeowners create spaces that feel comfortable, meaningful, and truly their own.

I love thinking about how all the details come together, layering textures, architectural features, and personal touches to create a space that feels cohesive, thoughtful, and one of a kind.

I’ve always had a love for design and helping others, and I’m fortunate to pursue both every day at Bria Hammel Interiors.

My professional experience includes both commercial and residential design, giving me a broad understanding of different project types and scales.

Ever since I was young, I’ve been drawn to the world of design and found so much joy in making things beautiful. In my current role, I feel incredibly grateful to do exactly that as an Interior Stylist for Bria Hammel Interiors and Brooke & Lou. I love specializing in the little details that make a home feel personal, layered, and lived-in, as well as the editorial storytelling within styling that brings each space to life. I also have the pleasure of curating designs for our e-design clientele and helping transform their homes through our online process.

One of the best parts of what I do is seeing all the pieces fall into place to create a beautiful and personalized space that our clients love to call home.

As a member of the accounting team at Bria Hammel Interiors, I ensure that the numbers are just as thoughtful as the designs. Supporting both the interior design team and the retail store, I enjoy bringing structure and clarity to the business while working in a thoughtfully designed, inspiring environment. Being part of a creative team in such a beautifully curated space makes my role especially rewarding.

As a creative professional, I’m always searching for something that creates that ‘spark’. Something that fuels my fire and pushes me to dream bigger. Luckily, I work in an environment where that’s not hard to find! From our beautiful, light-filled studio to my smart, sensational co-workers, it’s easy to feel inspired every single day. However, as many members of our team would agree on, my biggest inspiration comes from our clients and customers. They are thoughtful, diverse, generous, and each have a unique story to tell.

I work behind the scenes at Brooke & Lou, carrying each piece through its journey from sourcing to delivery. I’m drawn to the details —how things move, how they arrive, and how they’ll eventually be styled and lived with in their new space. While I oversee the day-to-day operations that keep everything running smoothly, my favorite moments are meeting our clients and customers in person at pop-up events. I look forward to connecting with you and sharing a small moment of Brooke & Lou together at an upcoming event!
