Shine Interior Design Studio is a full-service interior design firm established in 2019 by myself and Natalie Biles. For many years we worked as sole practitioners, but our love for collaboration and a desire for more balance brought us together. Our goal was to establish a studio that embraced beauty, wellness and sustainability in business and lifestyle.
I’ve enjoyed art since I was a child. Interior design and architecture became a means to curate and create beauty with spaces that bring joy and purpose.
Interior design is more than making spaces look nice. It’s about planning and organizing environments so they function well, feel comfortable and support the people using them.
Life is full of different seasons. It’s important to embrace your current season and find ways to be supported rather than push through in a survival mode.
I learned to be patient and to keep an open mind with the projects I was tasked with. This lesson has provided tools to better collaborate and embrace complexities
Being a problem solver is a skill I’ve embraced in all aspects of my job. Creativity comes in how I connect with people, find functional solutions and meet budget constraints.
Exercise and good food with friends. These practices help balance the rollercoaster that life can bring, so I will always say yes to a lunch invitation and group fitness class.
Leaving my first job at a local architecture firm and relocating to Texarkana. I had to rethink my career and decide what was next.
Immerse Arkansas.
Our mission and our team. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to create and serve people well.
The opportunity to create a business with a friend and colleague that thrives on community, connection and creativity. Our mission and our team bring me so much pride and joy.
I try to step away from the situation and give my brain a break. Time, space and sometimes discussion with a trusted peer help me see the bigger picture.
