Angie Hranowsky Design Studio

An established graphic designer, Angie also has a passion for interior design. In the summer of 2004, she studied at Parsons School of Design in New York. The following year she began to transfer her deep knowledge of design, color theory, and textiles to three-dimensional spaces and announced the incorporation of interiors to her studio’s robust design services.

Combining a refined mix of vintage and new, bold color and clean lines, Angie’s interiors take on an unexpected and modern approach to comfort. Her list of clients currently spans throughout the Southeast and Mid-West, and each is a reflection of her fresh and distinctive style.

Her work has garnered the attention of numerous style editors, and has since been featured in Metropolitan Home, Domino, Charleston magazine, Home, and House Beautiful.

Angie has a BA in Art History from the University of Cincinnati and in 1997 graduated from the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, specializing in graphic design.

Kristen McGinnis Design

With Graduation quickly approaching all I can think about is how much I have left to in order to complete my Senior design project, update my portfolio, update my resume, figure out how to make a website to publish my digital portfolio too… and figure out my next step. I’m a little overwhelmed. 

For inspiration, motivation, and reassurance I have been researching accomplished young interior designers that are breaking out and making a name for themselves in the world of design and I will share them with you! 

Allow me to introduce you to Kristen McGinnis of Kristen McGinnis Design:

Originally from North Carolina, Kristen fostered her creative eye in the prestigious visual arts program at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Her passion led her to New York where she studied fashion design at Parsons School of Design. She broke into the interior design industry with a senior position at Sills Huniford Associates.
