SHELBY HEERAN, NCIDQ

My entire life I've loved all things art and design. Since the age of 12, whenever I was asked what I want to be when I grow up, the answer was always "an Interior Designer." My first step in making my dream a reality was college. I graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2018 with a Bachelors of Science in Interior Architecture. Upon graduation, I took my first big girl job at LRK in Memphis, TN. Here I focused on commercial design. I worked on education, corporate, and hospitality projects. In 2020, I moved back to the DMV area where I worked with GAA out of Fairfax, VA. Here I worked on higher education, government and corporate projects. In 2021 I received my NCIDQ accreditation, took the leap of faith and founded Willow Design Studio. I'm living out my 12 year old self's dream and I'm forever grateful.
