DANA LYNCH DESIGN
Having been featured in a number of regional show homes and publications, Dana Lynch Design has emerged as a sought-after creative team. Her eponymous design firm specializes in partnering with clients during the design and build process to anticipate construction issues and successfully execute complex design features in high-end custom homes. Dana cultivates deep personal relationships with talented artisans who understand her vision and bring unique talent and authentic materials into her projects. These collaborations result in exclusive designs and fabrication that addresses unique challenges of her clients and provides a client-tailored aesthetic to each of the firm’s projects. DLD strives to push the design aesthetic forward in lieu of repetition of what has been done or following trends. Her design philosophy is centered around the tension created by the juxtaposition of opposites to activate space. Their detailed, intimate, and thorough design process results in the execution of a shared vision in a meaningful way for even the most discerning homeowners with a strong point of view.

DLD’s developer services division, Bspok, dismantled and rebuilt the semi-custom home design process to create a completely new approach to the homeowner experience and developer-led design. Through its proprietary software and unique processes, Bspok brings DLD style and custom products to hundreds of homes in innovative neighborhoods without losing the individual attention and personal service new homeowners desire.

JENNIFER SCHOENBERGER & LINDSEY HENE
Lindsey and Jennifer’s friendship began, ironically, in an antique store in 2013. Both working in their own successful interior design businesses, they shared a love of similar style, quality, and unique ideas. After almost 20 years of combined experience, the decision to merge their businesses into Elle + Vreeland Design House has been a delight to both of the designers and their clients. Jennifer has been creating cozy, unexpected, classic homes for a loyal client base throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Lindsey’s signature ability to grasp the unique style of each client and create livable, elegant interiors sets her apart along with her ability to balance color, texture, and bold embrace of pattern.

Taking note of her mother’s creativity within each of her childhood homes, Monica realized that interior design completed the desire to find balance in her life. She approaches each project with a source of sentiment and inspiration, always striving to create a timeless space that is both meaningful and authentic. Monica and her family reside in Athens, Ga. where she continues to be inspired by the unique culture and surrounding artists.

Soon after, she made a career change from practicing law to decorating.
