Designing Mindful Spaces With Intention

At Align Design, interiors are created with more than beauty in mind. Every project is rooted in a deep understanding of how clients live, work, and move through their space. Great design doesn’t just look good— it feels good.

Align Design is not a typical, one-size-fits-all design firm. The work is personal, thoughtful, and tailored to reflect the style and spirit of each individual client. The goal? To design spaces that are as unique as the people who live in them.

A Collaborative, Client-Centered Approach

Flexibility and responsiveness are at the heart of the Align Design process. Clients are invited into a collaborative partnership, where listening comes first, and the design takes shape with intention.

Shawn works closely with each client to curate details that align with their lifestyle and aesthetic, listening closely to understand the nuances of their vision, and making it tangible.

A well-designed space is more than just the sum of its finishes. It holds a subtle, emotional resonance— a feeling— that connects you to it. That feeling, combined with beauty and functionality, is the true goal of every project.

Ask Me About Feng Shui

Feng Shui is the ancient and beautiful art of placement coupled with intention.

Although it’s effects are subtle, they are powerful enough to create great, positive shifts in many aspects of your life. I love to help my clients make changes in the arrangement of their spaces to alter and enhance the energy of the spaces that they inhabit.

  • Sansi H., Residential

    “We asked Shawn to do a space plan for a small ranch home we purchased as our retirement home. Wanted to be able to age in place there. Since we were still living 5 states away when the project began, she traveled to and from the property to begin her plan and again to meet with contractors. She communicated with us by Skype, phone and email. Shawn has a pretty extensive form for her clients to complete for her before the first meeting. If you work with her, I urge you to work your way through it. The fresh ideas she came up with, the design board she did for the colors, materials, fabric and furniture was spot on for what we had in mind. The house is going to be amazing, and Shawn was great to work with.”
