Ownby Design:
Claire Ownby translates her admiration for refined, one-of-a-kind homes into a thriving interior design firm that embraces her zeal for quality, innovation and craftsmanship. "I base my designs on the architecture of the site to ensure a cohesive project," says Ownby, who enjoys blending natural, organic materials with cutting-edge technology to transform everyday spaces into thoughtful, fresh indulgences. "We tend to incorporate clean lines and neutral color palettes, along with textured fabrics and organic materials, adhering to a modern, 21st-century design style." As part of the creative process, Ownby and her talented team of design professionals educate clients on the many ways they can be environmentally responsible without sacrificing aesthetic quality in their homes. "I believe in leaving behind a positive fingerprint, in regards to style and our impact on the environment, for every project we work on. Artful interior design involves more than just beauty; it provides a higher function, complementing the land, as well as the client's personality." Conscientious and environmentally aware, Ownby is extremely proud of her continued success. In 2007, she won as ASID Designer of the Year Award, and a KB+B Kitchen of the Year Award.
