Welcome to The Little Atelier. 

​

My name is Missy. I have always had an eye for aesthetics, but only in recent years have understood that this appreciation for beauty around me drives my approach to the everyday.​

 

After spending over ten years of my career in corporate marketing at a global kitchen & bath manufacturer, I could no longer ignore the feeling that I needed to create more than PowerPoint presentations--that I wanted to be the one creating those kitchen and bath spaces instead of trying to sell them. I had an innate desire to add more beauty into the world in the form of physical spaces.

​​

I have always found so much inspiration in new places and experiences, and bring that curious spirit into home design. My experiences traveling around the world for my job to places like Milan, Paris, Dubai, and Shanghai brought me renewed appreciation and perspective for the universal power of good design and beautiful spaces.

​​

Beyond design, I understand the power of home. Spending more time in my own home over the past 5 years due to COVID-19 and having two children revealed the importance of my living spaces reflecting me and my family’s distinct needs as they change from one life stage to another. And when a home is beautifully curated and designed, even if covered in piles of toys, the chaos of everyday life becomes a bit more tolerable.
 

The word ‘atelier’ is French for workshop or studio, usually referring to that of an artist or designer. I've craved a place for creative expression, and The Little Atelier is a workshop where I want to share with you how I combine a love for interior aesthetics with the practical needs of a family and the practical limitations of things like a budget and only having 24 hours in a day. Additionally, I want to help others create places they have craved themselves - whether it's a more peaceful, beautiful, or functional space. I am here to help you realize your dream home.
