LILY BROWN

FOUNDER • PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
LEED AP • ASSOCIATE ASID

Raised in the woods outside of Tallahassee, Florida, in a magical alternatively planned community surrounded by artists, Lily’s aesthetics and passion for design was refined by her lifelong devotion to travel. Her first memory of beautiful spaces were the gardens she frequented with her mother. After graduating from the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design, Lily spent several years working in the commercial design sector doing turnkey office and institutional design before founding her own firm in 2011.  The ergonomic practicalities that she learned from corporate design carried through into her residential projects, ensuring that functionality is always a consideration in tandem with beauty.

A reluctant traditionalist who loves to play with serious things like antiques, color, and art, Lily weaves modern and traditional elements together in an energizing manner to create evocative interiors that embody the client’s ideals while always acknowledging the architecture of a space. 

Lily is a LEED accredited professional, an active Associate Member of ASID, has participated in the prestigious Southern Style Now Showhouse, and has been named “Best Interior Designer” by Savannah Magazine. She is a graduate of the distinguished Leadership Savannah Program and currently sits on the Chamber of Congress Owner’s Council. She lives and works in beautiful Savannah, Georgia with her patient husband and two wild, wonderful children.

    ASSOCIATE DESIGNER

    A small town Georgia native, Elizabeth graduated with a degree in History from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, before moving to Athens to pursue a degree in interior design from the University of Georgia. While living in Athens, Elizabeth interned under a residential designer & learned the ins & outs of the interior design industry.

She finds it deeply rewarding to help clients create homes they can enjoy with family and friends. In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys traveling, pilates, and spending time at home with her cat. She does not drink coffee which Lily still doesn’t understand after working together for over three years.
