Luxury Interior Designer in Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Beyond

Homes Designed around real life, before real life moves in

A new build gives you the rare chance to shape a home around the way you actually want to live, but the selections don't always come together neatly. They’re often made over time - room by room, meeting by meeting - creating a home that feels disconnected. I step in early to look at the home as a whole, so the kitchen, bathroom, living spaces, finishes, lighting, and materials flow together once everything is built. You get to show up for the big moments and have the final say, but when it's done you also get to walk away with a home that feels like it was always meant to be yours.

Interior Design, From Plan Review To Move-In Day

Home Furnishing & Styling

Once the build is ready for the next layer, I can help with furnishings, styling, art, and the pieces that make your home feel complete.

Finish + Material Selections

I'll guide you through finish and material selections with the whole home in mind. You'll have final say on all selections.

Builder-Ready Specifications

Your builder will need more than inspiration photos. I'll create a spec book, coordinating diagrams, and the supporting notes to carry the design through clearly.

Meetings + Walkthroughs

New construction means sitting through a lot of meetings. I'll be with you every step of the way to make sure your voice is heard.

Builder + Vendor Direction

Need help finding the right people? I can connect you with trusted referrals local to Jacksonville and Northeast Florida.

Architectural Plan Review

From plan review to layout decisions, I'll make sure every room functions for your life, whether you’re making coffee, getting ready, or dropping bags by the door.

Full-service new construction interior design starts before the foundation is poured. I'll be with you every step of the way, from architectural plan review, guiding the selections, preparing the details your builder needs, and staying involved as the interior starts taking shape.

A custom home works better when your builder, vendors, and interior designer are all on the same page. As part of my full-service design, I help keep the interior side of the build organized, translated, and easy for the right people to act on. This keeps you from becoming the person who has to chase every answer down. Think of me as your designer and buffer, giving you the breathing room to enjoy this experience.

Full Service Interior Design Means

Your Builder Gets A Clear Plan & You Get A Little Breathing Room

Selections happen one meeting at a time, but you don’t live in your home that way. The kitchen, bathroom, living room - even the laundry room - all need their own function, but they also need to feel connected once the house is finished.

Because every room has to feel like it belongs

From The Kitchen Design

Your kitchen has to carry a lot of the work in a home - rushed mornings, dinner prep, and everything in between. I'll plan your kitchen layout around how you move through it, choose materials that age well, and select every detail with intention. The goal is a kitchen that makes your daily life easier, while looking as good in 10 years as it does the day you move in.

Where Your day starts & ends

quiet luxury for your routines

To The Bathrooms

A well-designed bathroom goes way beyond a pretty bathtub. The vanity, tile, lighting, and shower storage all come together to make your bathroom a quiet, luxurious place to get ready each morning and unwind each night. I'll ask the right questions so it feels like your every need is met. 

the heart of your home

To Your Living Spaces

It's easy to think about the living room, but you live in so many more spaces around the home. From the laundry room to your office, movie nights to entertaining friends. My job is to think through how you actually use the living spaces and layer in furnishings and finishes that hold up to real life. It needs to feel comfortable for everyday life, pulled together when people come over, and connected to the rooms around it.

See how each custom home came together, from the finishes, furnishings, and all the details we added that made the house feel like a home.

Featured Projects

With over a decade of experience in luxury custom home building and design, I've seen every stage of the process.

That comes in handy because when you’re building a custom home, you need someone with more than good taste. You need someone who can be your designer and advocate. To help the process feel less overwhelming, keep the details from getting away from you, and make sure the finished home reflects the way you actually want to live.

My job is to handle the details, so you get to enjoy your dream home coming to life.

Hey there, I'm

Award-Winning Jacksonville Interior Designer,

checkerboard lover & Mom of 3

"

She challenged me to step outside my comfort zone by choosing colors and designs I love, but never would have thought to pull together on my own.

She struck the perfect balance between function and style while always being mindful of my tight budget...Communication was clear throughout the entire process, and she was always available to talk things through.

Sammie is incredibly friendly and professional, which helps when opening your home to someone. 

I worked with Sammie in 2024, from February to July, to design and decorate my entire home. The process was very smooth and she was respectful of my vision, timeline, and budget. Her eye for design is spot on and I feel she showed a lot of range when working on my project. I’d highly recommend her for any type of design project. I had a great time picking out pieces with her and watching the entire house transform.

How We Work Together

Once you submit an inquiry, we'll hop on an introduction call to talk through the home you’re planning, your timeline, and whether full-service new construction design is the right fit.

It starts with an intro

We'll set the direction for the home through a 2-hour consultation, plan priorities, get a thorough view of your vision and style, and get the next steps of your project in motion.

step two

Design & Curate

Once your builder is on board, I'll start reviewing architectural plans, guiding you through design selections, and prepare a specification book for your builder before anything is ordered.

step three

Selections & Specifications

We'll stay connected throughout the entire build process as I stay on top of the build, coordinating with your builder and vendors so the interior decisions are communicated and carried through. 

Project Coordination

If you choose to hire me to help you with procuring furniture, artwork, and putting the finishing layers together, we'll start that while the project is underway. That way, we reduce unnecessary wait time as items come in.

Furnishing & Styling

When it's time to move in, I'll be there to welcome you to your dream home!

Frequently Asked Questions

On Custom Home Design

Do you only offer interior design in Jacksonville, FL?

No, I'm a licensed interior designer in Florida, so I can work with clients throughout the state. However, I prefer to work with people in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, St. Johns, and Northeast Florida.

That way, you're within an easy driving distance so I can go with you (or for you) to pre-build meetings, selection appointments, and milestone meetings. The less you have to handle alone, the easier your custom build experience will feel.

What does "full-service" interior design mean?

Full-service means I'm there to help manage the interior design decisions from the early planning stages through the finishing touches. That can include architectural review, contractor and vendor referrals, finish and material selections, milestone walkthroughs, builder coordination, furnishings, and final styling. You show up for the big moments, and I'll handle the rest.

Do you work on both new construction and custom homes?

Both! Whether you're building a custom home from the ground up or you've found a new construction builder with a layout you love, I can step in early to help the interiors feel cohesive, functional, and true to you before the major choices are finalized.

Do you only work with a specific style?

No. I believe in designing a space around your life and style, not around fitting your home into one specific aesthetic. Whether you’re drawn to sleek and modern or cozy and traditional, I'm here to help translate what you love into a home that feels cohesive and completely you.

Will I still have a say in the decisions?

Absolutely. Hiring a full-service designer doesn't mean you give up your voice. This is your home. I'm here to help translate your style preferences, lifestyle, and vision into cohesive design decisions that feel perfect for you. I'll guide the process so you're never overwhelmed, and you'll approve every selection before anything is ordered.

Can I work with my own custom home builder?

Of course! I want you to feel comfortable with who you hire to build your home. I'm happy to work with your builder or provide trusted referrals if you're still searching for a home builder.

How much does interior design cost?

We always start with a 2-hour design consultation to start planning, which is a flat fee of $500. If you decide to move forward with full-service interior design, you'll receive a custom quote based on the scope of work and complexity of the design.

How long is the process?

Most new-build homes typically takes anywhere from 12-24 months, but depends heavily on your builder's schedule. It's ideal to start working together ahead of that so I can be with you as early as possible to make the process easy on you. I'll coordinate with your builder to create a projected timeline and keep it updated throughout the process.

Furnishing your new home generally takes a 6-18 months, because quality pieces take time to produce and ship. We can begin that process while your home is under construction so we're not starting from scratch when the house is ready.

What if I'm a builder, real estate agent, or architect looking for a local designer to refer?

I'm so honored to be considered for your clients! I know how much your reputation means, and I promise to deliver an experience that reflects well on you, too. I love building relationships with builders, real estate agents, and architects. Let's start with an intro call to get to know each other. Head over here to send me a note.

How do I get started?

The first step is to fill out my contact form and tell me all about your project. I'll also invite you to book an initial consultation so we can talk through your project and make sure we're the right fit! Click here to head over to that form.
