STEPHANIE MURPHY
The Team
Michelle and Stephanie’s focus is to build an exceptional design team: one that understands creative direction and helps elevate the client experience, not only throughout the design process, but for years after they enjoy the finished result.
Our team is made up of highly trained design professionals who bring specialized education, technical expertise, and fresh perspectives to the process, allowing for the best execution of our collaborative vision.
We don’t outsource our vision. We expand the expertise behind it.
Every Powerhouse Interiors project is creatively led and directed by Michelle and Stephanie from beginning to end. As our firm continues to grow, we intentionally surround ourselves with talented professionals whose individual strengths make our entire team - and ultimately, every project - stronger.
A true Powerhouse isn’t built by one or two people. It’s built by an exceptional team of people working together toward one vision.
And our goal remains the same: to give our clients an extraordinary experience and create homes they’ll love long after the design process is complete.
