Meet Our Team
Morgan Cattaneo, ASID
Founder & Principal Designer
“We brought Morgan onto our home renovation project as an interior designer, and she quickly became so much more. She took plenty of time to get to know us and to understand our personal style. She always gave us a wide variety of choices, and helped us keep an eye on the cost and benefits of all the different options, Throughout the whole project, Morgan was an advisor, a coach and a therapist making the whole endeavor good looking, less stressful and more fun. A large renovation is complicated and Morgan played a central role in working with our architect, our contractor and his crew, suppliers and vendors and all the many other trades people who contributed to our home. The results speak for themselves; our house is beautiful and we love it more than we imagined!”
