Principal Designer & Owner

Annie is an interior designer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. She has a keen eye for detail and a knack for bringing out the existing character hidden in a space. Annie loves working with color and texture, and takes great pride in her work.

Born in Atlanta, raised in coastal Los Angeles, Annie studied film at Chapman University and Interior Design at Parsons School of Design. She spent her 20s in New York City working in film as a Production Designer and Set Decorator, designing numerous music videos, commercials, branded content, and decorating several independent feature films. In-between film projects, Annie designed and readied properties to rent as vacation rentals, discovering her passion to host guests as an Airbnb Superhost.

After creating boutique accommodation, Lunori Highlands, in 2019, Annie returned to Los Angeles. She was the Design Manager for a real estate home concierge company, managing a national team of 12+ Designers and Project Managers. After nearly 3 years as Design Manager, Annie ventured back to the southeast to expand Lunori and upon completion of two additional units, moved back to NYC in 2024 where she works with clients on both coasts.
