ERIKA BLANK
FOUNDER + DESIGNER
Erika is a true homebody at heart. She finds joy in creating spaces that evoke warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging—helping others feel as at home in their spaces as she does in hers. A natural problem solver, she’s had an innate ability to bring calm to chaos through design from an early age. She believes great design is all about versatility, thoughtful details, and a seamless blend of form and function.
Erika graduated Cum Laude from Utah State University, earning degrees in Interior Design and Political Science. While in school, she lived in New York City, working under the renowned designer Jamie Drake. This experience deepened her love for art, color, and the dynamic energy of the city. It was also during this time that she earned her LEED professional credentials, reinforcing her commitment to sustainable design.
In 2011, Erika moved to Sun Valley, to be closer to her family. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her at home in her charming 80-year-old cottage, tending to her garden, and experimenting with new recipes.
ROSEMARY SPILLER
FOUNDER + DESIGNER
Rosemary is a Southern girl, which is evident in her playful, practical designs. Her skills and passion for design add a vibrant layer to our interior design office. She loves pattern and wallpaper and her favorite part of a project is seeing the design come to life.
She has a degree in Fashion Media from SMU, but because her heart was longing to work in interiors, she went back to school, after three years in fashion marketing, to get a degree in interior design, graduating in 2019. Rosemary moved to Sun Valley in 2020 after working for Dallas interior designer, Cathy Kincaid. She brings with her a love of color, pattern and Southern charm.
