Meet Brooke

Lead Designer and Founder

My love for design started long before I ever called it that. Growing up, I spent weekends in my dad’s woodworking shop and watched my mom turn my childhood home into something warm, collected, and completely intentional. I did not realize it then, but those two people gave me everything I needed to do what I do today, creativity.

After falling in love with interiors, I started my career interning at some of the more established luxury design firms, and while I learned an incredible amount, I also learned something equally important: that was not the kind of designer I wanted to be. The process felt cold. The invoices felt shocking. And somewhere between the client and the finished room, the joy got lost.

So I built something different.

Olive Avenue Interiors exists because I genuinely believe that designing your home should be one of the most exciting things you do, not one of the most stressful. I want you to feel like you are texting a friend who just happens to know exactly what light fixture will change your whole kitchen. I want the process to feel easy, fun, and completely tailored to you.

“I started this because I believe design could feel different. Warmer, more personal, and much more fun. I still believe that with every project I do”
