reimagining charming homes for modern function

virtual and full-service

I'm the founder of Places Studio & an NCIDQ-certified interior designer with a Master’s in Interior Architecture. I began my career designing some of Washington, D.C.’s most historic buildings. It eventually led me to my passion for renovating homes with character. With over $1M in residential & commercial renovations designed, I bring practical expertise and a deep respect for timeless architecture, blending character with modern functionality. My work is known not just for how it looks, but for how personal the process feels to each person I work with.

"Chelsea and her team were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in designing our dream kitchen. I do not think we would have been able to take on such a huge project without her by our side. Our new space has changed our life and day to day living and I know we will enjoy it for many years to come"

- JENNA

"The outcome we achieved together is a studio that finally feels cohesive, elevated, and intentionally designed down to the tiniest detail. The design recap they created has become my design bible and it's been the foundation for every decision I've made since our initial consult. It gave me SO much functionality and thoughtfulness, while keeping me focused and confident in every choice.
