About the Studio

Rooms that feel quietly collected.


Hello, I’m Desi.

I started Desi Design Co. to make the kind of homes I always wanted to come home to — warm, layered, and unhurried.

I’m an interior designer based in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Before the studio, I spent years collecting and restoring pieces for friends and family — the kind of work that taught me that a great room is rarely the product of a single big move. It’s patient, particular, and a little personal.

My approach is editorial but practical. I love a long-considered upholstery edit, a vintage rug with a story, and a kitchen that actually gets used on a Tuesday. I think a home should look like the people who live there — not like a catalog.

When I’m not at the studio, I’m most likely with my family in the garden, hunting estate sales in the Carolinas, or re-arranging the same bookshelf for the third time this month.


What We Believe

Restraint over reach.

A few well-chosen pieces will always feel more like home than a room full of trends.

Old & new, together.

Vintage and custom belong in the same room. Patina is a feature, not a flaw.

Built for real life.

Beautiful is not the opposite of livable. Pets, kids, and Sunday dinners all welcome.

A small client list.

We take on a handful of projects each season so every home gets our full attention.
