Founder & Principal Designer

“I love to connect with new people, create new plans, elevate existing ones, and inspire others to experience greater community.”

— Mary VanderVeen

Hi! I’m Mary.

I design interior spaces that inspire others to do well and be well. I work with residential and commercial clients to enhance their lives and businesses, and ultimately, that drives value.

I grew up in Bakersfield as the daughter of Dutch dairy farming immigrants, and was raised to value hard work, team-mindset, and industriousness. I have seasoned experience in custom builds and construction knowledge. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design from Fresno State University under an accredited design program. I also earned my teaching credential at University of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA. I have four children, and play pickleball, travel, and enjoy my family, faith and community.

This rootedness and deep sense of connection is something that has come to work with me every day for more than 20 years. At day’s end, problem solving with tenacity is my strongest trait. No matter the issue or setback, I move through complex issues and solve them with calm, confidence and creativity. 

Whatever we do, we do it on purpose. From discovery to design to sourcing to construction to fruition, I’m thrilled to partner with you to drive value and creativity by creating well-coordinated spaces that feel just right and are even better than imagined.
