Bria Hammel Interiors

Being the Lead Designer and Design Team Manager at BHI, I get the joy of being involved in every phase of our client’s experience. From the initial phone call to the final pillow placement, my priority is to keep each project organized and on track while also having some fun along the way! My passion is creating beautiful and functional spaces that are inspired by our clients and how they live their lives. The best part of my job is getting to know each and every client and ensuring they have the most amazing BHI experience every step of the way.

I pride myself with my focus on the fine detail, my patience and tremendous organizational skills. With over 6 years as a Project Manager and Interior Designer, my passion is going the extra mile for our clients. There is nothing I love more than to make people happy and to see the smiles on my client’s faces when they walk through their home for the first time.

I’m proud to be the “behind the scenes” person at BHI. From ordering product, organizing installation, and tracking shipments, I keep projects on track and our clients informed. Typically my days don’t even feel like work because I’m doing the things that truly bring me joy. However, hands down, the best part of my job is watching all the pieces come together to create the beautiful, jaw dropping moment for our clients.

I’ve always been inspired by new spaces, people, and all things beautiful! Luckily for me, I’m surround by all three every day. I feel so fortunate that I not only get to work with such a passionate and creative group of women, but that I get to do so in an industry that literally strives to make dreams come true (as cliché as that sounds). As a designer, I love the process most of all – turning those small initial ideas and desires into a beautifully completed and custom space. I work hard so that our clients get to experience what it’s like to have their hard-earned aspirations blossom into their new reality!

I’ve always been a big dreamer. Big dreams have driven me to find my passions in life and follow them. From travel, to books, to family, to food and culture, I’m constantly seeking out what brings me joy. Knowing that the client’s dreams rest in the spaces I help to create for them and that I get to help them find their joy, that is why I go the extra mile and put in the extra work, to make sure it is everything they have envisioned and more.

I’ve always been a forward thinker and truly enjoy the challenges and opportunities life brings. I believe if you have a passion for something, you go after it regardless of where you are in your career path. I absolutely love helping others which landed me in a career in the healthcare field for over 10 rewarding years. But, my creative side was always tapping on my shoulder, which lead me to explore another path to follow my passion for Interior Design.

As Pricing Coordinator at BHI, I see amazing design projects come together from the initial design boards all the way to the very last accessory being placed in the home. It’s truly a team effort when everyone’s hard work brings a project to life! I am fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing group of women whom I continue to learn from each and every day.

Growing up, redecorating and rearranging my bedroom was one of my favorite things to do. Just by moving things around, a room could take on an entirely different feel. I still find that joy today by rearranging and styling accessories for clients’ homes, while incorporating new finds to pull the entire room together. Styling brings a warmth and coziness to a room, and I love being able to create that feeling for our clients. I am so grateful I get to work with such talented designers every day, who fuel my creativity and make my part of the process easy – to put the final touches on a beautifully designed space.

With over 13 years of experience in accounting and finance, I am thrilled to combine my financial background with my growing interest in interior design.

I have always been a numbers person and I enjoy the story they tell about a company’s past and also using them to demonstrate what the future can look like. I also love the challenges and fulfillment that come with working for a small company.

I am inspired by the passion, dedication, and creativity of our team and I love the role I play in the overall team that makes our customer’s dreams come true in their homes through BHI and delivers beautiful, yet functional product through Brooke & Lou.

As a little girl, I remember loving to sit in the kitchen with my mom creating floor plans and loving to design. Additionally, as a daughter of a business owner, discussions around the dinner table were often about business.I am fortunate today, to combine my two great loves of design and business by working on the business of design. I love that I can play a part in keeping each project on track and getting our clients closer and closer to that “welcome home” moment.

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. As BHI’s Marketing Coordinator, it is my job to tell our client’s stories and share their homes with care. Our clients are thoughtful, diverse, generous, and each have a unique story to tell. From photographing their home to sharing their house tour on our blog, it is such a joy for me to get to know them on a personal level and share their beautiful stories with our readers.

I have spent most of my professional career taking care of people. Whether it is making sure that clients are being taken care of, the business organization is running smoothly, or ensuring that the needs of the employee’s are being met. I love that I get to bring that experience to BHI, a place that I love being at every single day. I feel inspired by the creativity that our team surrounds our office with on a daily basis and I love going above and beyond to help this company grow.

I feel such a strong connection not only to Brooke & Lou’s story but it’s mission to bring beautiful, livable pieces to people’s homes. Having known Bria and her family for many years, the two little ones behind the name Brooke & Lou are very near and dear to my heart.

I have a passion for organization, love a good challenge and love even more to find solutions. As the Brooke & Lou Expeditor, it is my number one priority to ensure that our customers are happy with the service we provide and the products they are putting into their homes.

I thrive in an environment when all my passions are aligned. I couldn’t be more lucky to use my creative marketing skills for a company which is filled with so many talented and driven women who all share a love for interior design. It’s not hard to be inspired on a daily basis! Similar to many Brooke & Lou customers, my love for family, friendship, travel, and design is what fuels my fire. I’m so happy to work for a brand that creates pieces for people’s homes that encompasses all of that and more.

My background is in corporate marketing, so when joining the team to help create Brooke & Lou I was constantly thinking about how to make our big dreams come true. What steps would it take? How could I rally the team and keep everyone organized? Those big ideas are still there, but they involve so much more than just our team now. Our clients and customers are the why. We work hard to create collections that will make their lives easier and homes more beautiful and long lasting. My own home is filled with four chaotic, happy, young boys, and when I make decisions for Brooke & Lou my first thought always is, would this piece survive in my own house? By putting myself in our clients and customers shoes, I hope they are able to trust and believe in our brand and products as much as I do.
