Bellisa Design

What inspired you to pursue this line of work?

Having had an interest in art, architecture, and creative activities from a young age, I had planned to become an architect. However, I deviated and graduated with a business degree instead. After a career in the corporate sector, I took a hiatus to be home with my children before they entered school. When thinking about returning to work, I had a light-bulb moment and ventured on a new path in architecture and interior design.

What services do you offer?

We are a full-service design firm offering design and procurement for every aspect of home updates, including furniture, fixtures, window coverings, and accessories. Elevations and 3D drawings are part of our services as well, which enable a homeowner to see their design before work has begun. We also offer project management for renovations and new construction, working closely with contractors, architects, and home builders so our clients can rest easy knowing everything is going as planned.

Will you take on projects of any size or scope?

Our projects are typically full service, though we do offer a “Designer for a Day” service for individuals who want a professionally designed space but wish to implement the design themselves.

What trends are you excited about for 2023?

I am excited to see color and pattern trending back. I can appreciate the monochromatic look and a soft color palette, but one of my favorite things to do is mix colors and patterns in unexpected ways.

What do you feel distinguishes you from your competitors?

I feel our designs, although aesthetically beautiful, are more relaxed. Many of our clients have children of all ages and want a professionally designed home that looks custom but feels comfy.

What else would you like our readers to know about you?

My husband is a smart technology and audio-video consultant and installer, so I get to see firsthand what’s new in the latest home technology introductions. We often work side by side on projects, which is an added convenience for our clients. We have come up with some very creative home media designs and technology solutions through the years.
