Meet Lisa and Cassy

We’ve been in the business of turning houses into homes since 2013. With a passion for interior design and a deep commitment to our clients, we blend over a decade of design experience with thoughtful visual strategy to bring our clients’ spaces to life.

At Haven Design Works, we believe that great design is both beautiful and purposeful.

As a boutique interior design firm specializing in model home merchandising and amenity design across the East Coast, we collaborate closely with builders and developers to bring their vision—and their buyers’ dreams—to life.

Owned by designers Lisa Giles and Cassy Hester, Haven was founded in 2013 on partnership, trust, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We’re deeply involved in every stage of every project—from market analysis and space planning to frame walks and final installations. Our clients never get passed off to sales reps or middlemen. When you work with us, you work directly with the people who care most about your project’s success.
