We don’t just make spaces beautiful. We make spaces that work great as well.
Design Associates is as much about your experience as it is about producing exceptional interior spaces. Our loyalty is with you, our client. That devotion is reflected throughout the entire process from initial introduction to completed rooms.
Good design is more than ordering attractive furniture. The full scope of our service is best understood by answering this one question: What is the true cost to you when you order furniture online? You pay with your:
At Design Associates we do not compromise. We have the resources, knowledge and compassion to give you the hassle-free, enjoyable service you deserve.
Our collaborative process includes initial consultation, on-site meetings, and schematics tailored to your unique needs, tastes, and budget. We know the questions to ask to make sure your selections fit your comfort and aesthetic preferences as well as utilitarian needs. All our furniture arrives in our meticulously cleaned, climate-controlled warehouse.
We are one of the region’s only true custom design firms with a warehouse outfitted with a professional-grade loading dock. After arrival, we inspect your furniture to verify craftsmanship before arranging a delivery based on your convenience. Deliveries arrive timely, in our private van, with people you know and trust. Our team will unload and install your furniture. Want to do some last-minute rearranging? Our team will take care of that, too.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Design Associates is comprised of four independent interior designers. It’s the best of both worlds. You benefit from a one-one relationship with your dedicated designer. We benefit with sharing ideas, experiences, and input from each other. Collectively, we represent more than 150 years of design and decorating experience ranging from exclusive, premier studios, such as Vitoch Interiors to working as independent practitioners. Just another way Design Associates stands apart.

“Homes have always been my passion and I am extremely thankful that interior design is now my profession.
My honest belief is that a home is a personal sanctuary. It’s an oasis from the outside world and a crucial element in living your best life.
As your interior designer, my mission is to help create, with confidence, a home that reflects your style and personality. I aim to design unique and artistic settings that cannot be replicated by a mainstream catalog or big box store. Your home is yours and should have a distinct style that comforts, intrigues, and thrills you.
In working closely with my clients, I strive to form fun, trusting, and collaborative relationships. Know that I am a keen listener with intent to understand your design goals. I am highly communicative and add a personalized touch to every step of the design process. Every relationship is treasured and infused with my high energy. It’s common for me to get just as excited as my clients as a room transforms! I treat every home like it is my own; paying attention to the details and maintaining high service standards.
After years of experience, I have strong personal connections to a robust network in construction, painting, upholstery, flooring, and furniture. These connections ensure high quality work and trusted access for nearly any project need.
It would be my pleasure to work with you and help you create the home of your dreams.”

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed creating surroundings that are special and beautiful. When designing interiors, my approach is definitely eclectic, incorporating a variety of styles, textures and found objects.”

“There are countless variables that go into creating a well-designed home. I get no greater joy than handling them all and watching the excitement on my client’s faces when it all comes together.”
Suzanne Seipel
“Design is my life. As an accredited member of the American Society of Interior Designers with BFA in Sculpture and Design along with being Elementary and Secondary Art Education certified, I have an eye for aesthetics across a wide range of mediums. My design philosophy is straight-forward – I strive to create a beautifully designed environment that reflects your taste and personality. I get to know your personal style, scope of the project, and budget so I can give you design you find beautiful and attainable. Whether your preference is traditional, contemporary, eclectic, or something entirely new, I’m here to make it come alive for you.”
