Come on in and make yourself at home.
I’m here to help you hone in on your interior design style and create a space that feels good in every sense.
BUT FIRST, LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
I’m Hollis Rendleman
A Seattle-based interior architect and designer who specializes in
creating emotional homes and retail spaces.
My clients call me their house therapist. My friends know me for getting lost in the paint aisle and spending weekends populating hundreds of Pinterest boards. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats, from social service to corporate retail design and home remodels.
As a former social justice worker of 15+ years, I developed a keen awareness of the relationship between environment and well-being—and the importance of safety above all else. Seeing first-hand the impact a safe space had on survivors of domestic and sexual violence shaped my philosophy as an interior designer today. Simply put, I believe that a safe and comforting space to call home leads to positive emotions and healing.
So when I hopscotched over to the retail world to manage a feminist-owned sex toy store, I felt called to design a space where women of all identities felt safe, included, and confident.
For the first time in my career, I had the freedom to flex my creative intuition as a way to empower people. An adjustment to the lighting, a change of display fixture, a shift in product placement and… voila! Items started flying off the shelves.
Seeing an opportunity to use interior design as a force for good, I went back to school for my Master’s in Interior Architecture and Design. After graduating in 2012, I landed jobs designing retail spaces for Nordstrom and Starbucks. While these were great opportunities, I found my heart longing for something more personal. Some way to support people in creating a safe and sacred space, and to empower the independent business owners who add vibrancy to our communities.
I'm here because I believe everyone deserves a space that feeds their soul and elevates the way they live.
YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE...
You dream of coming home to a sanctuary of your favorite things, thoughtfully designed around your lifestyle.
A space that reflects you: where you come from, where you are now, and where you want to go. A place that brings you more clarity, more balance, and more joy.
An open kitchen designed for family gatherings, a carefully curated art wall for the world traveller, thoughtfully tossed textiles, a well-placed heirloom—these things have the power to impact how you feel every single day.
Picture it: You open the door to a space that soothes your soul, revitalizes your spirit, and supports you through the good times—and the difficult ones, too.
I take an emotional approach to interior architecture and design because creating a beautiful home isn’t about status. It’s about self-care and empowering you to live your truth and share your light.
