Deana Acheson is an NCIDQ (339103) certified Interior Designer and Assistant Professor of Interior Architecture at Chatham University with 18 years experience supporting commercial and residential clients.
The relationship between the client and interior designer starts with a good fit and a great partnership. I care for client relationships deeply and make sure lines of communication are open, clear, and respected. The end result of our collaboration is never mine.
My approach to interior design is interdisciplinary. Whether the basis of design is inspired by an heirloom quilt, imaginative finger painting, or a branding exercise, I weave together what is offered to help create a cohesive and grounded design. Through humor and humility, I push myself to understand the client’s point-of-view, so I am able to be a supportive partner throughout the entire design process.
