Brooke Robertson (Founder):
Hailing from New England, with a B.A. in Spanish and Philosophy from Middlebury College, Brooke didn’t discover her passion for design until she transformed her historic row home in Richmond, Virginia, over a decade ago. What started as a creative outlet from her corporate job turned into a full-time career designing and restoring homes. As her work garnered recognition within the Richmond community, she began receiving requests to help clients design, develop, and realize their aspirations. One of her most valuable skills is her ability to leverage her knowledge of construction to devise creative solutions for typical construction problems, resulting in unique and personalized designs.
Annie Gilbert (Designer):
Annie, a native of Virginia, graduated with a BBA in Marketing from James Madison University. She has nurtured her passion for architecture and interiors throughout her life and always knew she would become a designer. Annie's design approach skillfully combines modern and vintage elements, resulting in beautiful and functional spaces. Her design philosophy integrates natural materials, textures, and patterns, resulting in a space uniquely tailored to her clients' needs.
