Our Team

Meet the Designers

In 2016, Maryellen invited Interior Designer Christy Soldatis to partner with her in servicing the increased number of her design clientele. Together Maryellen and Christy approach each new project by combining their individual style and classic sensibilities with years of design experience to each of their clients. Their tag-team approach to each of their design projects is supported and implemented by their efficient office staff, skilled subcontractors, and established vendor relationships.
