A lifelong student of art and a seasoned expert in design, Hilary Ashlund is as passionate about a home’s beauty as she is about its functionality, comfort, and most of all, the happiness of the family that lives there. “Creating incredible design is far more about understanding the practical needs and aesthetic desires of the people who live in the space than the space itself. Once that is achieved, a beautiful, livable design can be created.” Not your average designer, Hilary’s distinctive vision and approach can be attributed to her artistic background, strong working knowledge of architecture and construction, and her professional experience. Her work in the fields of high-end tabletop design, commercial film and print production, and visual merchandising became so notable that clients sought her out to bring the elegant and impactful designs that she is known for into their homes. Hilary’s talent, coupled with a respect for her client’s design goals and budget, a dedication to customer satisfaction, and an absolute passion for seeing a project through to the finishing details has solidified her standing in the design industry. Further, her understanding of structural design, building parameters, spatial design and project logistics allows her to serve as an effective liaison between clients, architects and contractors. Areas of expertise include kitchen and bath design, interior decorating and design, material sourcing and color consulting.
