I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses to follow along here! If you are new, thank you for hanging out with me and our design studio (we are in Chicago, but work virtually and out of state too).

We stick to interior design content and education, with a bit of motherhood and wellness in the mix!

Seven things to know about Claire and #centeredbydesign
(each fact goes with a photo)

1. This picture was taken in San Francisco. CBD started as a design blog and we featured women creatives around the states and their businesses - back in 2015 - 2017.

2. Our Tudor-style Bungalow in Chicago. My hubby and I renovated this home together 2016-2018. We are now on the hunt for our next home! Looking for a big reno!

3. I live for a photo shoot! Bringing all the details together at the end of a project or renovation is sooo satisfying.

4. My kids! Willa (5) Jude (20 mos). I’m the oldest of 4 and love being a mom.

5. Our family band 😊

6. Northern MI, and a view from what our family calls the “secret beach.” Lots of good things happen at this beach.

7. Our company stationary suite: “We are a full-service residential interior design studio, known for soulful restorations of historical homes and our expertise in crafting sophisticated and timeless kitchens.”

We’d love to know you too! Drop a comment so we can say hello 👋
