Residential Design

Specializing in coastal homes and vacation properties across New England

"We recently acquired a coastal Rhode Island home and needed to completely change the interior feel of the home, while at the same time keeping the spaces functional. We had a vision for the interior and Wendy really pulled it all together with her ideas for furnishings, décor, paint colors, fabrics and overall aesthetic. Her vision quickly and efficiently became a reality, and we are so pleased with her guidance and keen eye in transforming our home into such a warm, comfortable, and welcoming place."

About

Wendy

I love the feeling of spaces. I became interested in design while building out four commercial spaces for my company in NYC. The DEVOE concept addresses “feel, flow, and function” of the space.

I believe that everyone deserves to experience the calm that comes from thoughtful, well-executed design.

Born and raised in New England, I specialize in coastal and traditional New England style, bringing regional charm and a timeless feel to every project. I re-design vacation properties for luxury, function, and strong rental appeal. I combine classic style with modern lines to create New England–inspired interiors that last. Plans focus on durable materials and spacious layouts.

I design and refresh residences with the same “classic meets modern” approach, creating an inviting space for each homeowner to love.
