our approach

It All Starts with Understanding

How you live, what inspires you, and how you want your home to feel — We start with meaningful conversations. Because design is often easier to show than to describe, we encourage clients to share visual inspiration — images, colors, textures, and moments that capture what speaks to them. These insights help us translate your vision into a space that feels effortless, functional, and deeply personal.

Stephanie Brown

I’ve always had a penchant for design. From decorating my childhood bedrooms to spending hours in the art studio in high school to studying at a theatre conservatory in New York City — creativity has always been my language.

My creative career began in NYC as an actor, but I eventually opened my own floral design studio in Brooklyn, where my work was featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and other prominent wedding publications. In 2018, my family and I moved to Austin to raise our two boys. While renovating our South Austin home, I quickly realized I had found my next calling.

My ability to bring clients’ dreams to life now extends beyond flowers to interiors, where I design homes that feel personal, layered, and full of warmth.

I’m the steady force behind the scenes, the balance of structure, intuition, and care that keeps Saint Louise Design running seamlessly. Like my sister, I began my career studying musical theatre in NYC before moving to California, where my natural drive and people skills led me into commercial real estate. There, I built a thriving career leasing multi-million dollar retail spaces, mastering client services, project flow, and the art of bringing vision into reality.

After relocating to Austin in 2021 with my husband and our two boys, I joined Saint Louise Design, where my organization, caring spirit, and attention to detail ensure every project runs seamlessly. I am the calm in the creative storm and the heartbeat of the studio.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation, their team was incredibly professional, listening attentively to our needs and vision. What truly set them apart was their personal approach; they didn't just design beautiful spaces; they designed spaces that perfectly blend with our family's lifestyle. Every detail was meticulously handled, and the finished product is exactly what we dreamed of. They took the lead when I needed them to, advocated for us when needed, and listened to my suggestions when I raised them. Their patience when I changed my mind on fixtures allowed me to feel heard and my opinion respected. I had never undergone a renovation before and was nervous at all the decisions to be made. Their guidance and suggestions were spot on, and I knew I could trust them implicitly.”

Every name tells a story — And ours begins with family.

Saint Louise Design carries both our origin and our inspiration—a tribute to our hometown, St. Louis, and to our Great Grandmother Louise, whose spirit of family and strength continues to guide us. As sisters and creative partners, we’re bound by the same sense of legacy and connection we infuse into every home we design.

It’s more than a name — it’s our story, our roots, and the magic we hope every family feels within their walls.
