Tips from an award-winning design firm

Shanna Gatanis, The Design Principal of Design Studio 15 lives by the philosophy that your space should be as unique and incredible as the life you have built for yourself. Each project that Shanna and her team work on is carefully crafted to be an extension of an individual’s style, preferences, hobbies, and overall environment.

Allow this to be your wake-up call that you deserve to live in a space that is unequivocally YOU. In the new year, Shanna and I challenge you to let your personal style transcend to your interiors.
