Our residential work includes primary suites, kitchens, living rooms, and full homes. Each project starts with the same questions: how does this household spend its days, what do they love, and what should the house say about them? The answers shape everything that follows, from the floor plan to the art on the walls. Browse the projects below to see how that looks in practice.
We take on a select number of commercial projects, with a focus on wellness spaces and showrooms. A commercial interior has to support the business behind it, so we design around how guests arrive, move through the space, and decide to stay, and we choose materials that hold up to daily traffic. The goal is a space that represents your brand clearly and gives your clients a reason to return.
Jordan & Alexis M.
"Working with McKinley and her team completely changed how we experience our home. Every decision felt intentional, every material elevated the space, and the final result feels timeless rather than trendy. We couldn't have imagined a better partner."
Marcus & Elena C.
"From the first discovery call through installation, communication was exceptional. McKinley balanced beauty with functionality in ways we never could have done ourselves."
Taylor R.
"The process was incredibly organized from start to finish. McKinley listened to how we actually live instead of simply asking what styles we liked. Our home finally feels like it was designed specifically for us."
I’m the founder of McKinley Avenue Design Co., a Houston-based studio focused on full-home renovations, custom builds, and new construction. My favorite part of any project is the very beginning, when I get to learn how a household actually uses its home, which rooms go mostly unused, and where the mail inevitably piles up, because those details tell me far more than any inspiration board ever could.
From there, I work alongside architects, builders, and trades to carry the design through every stage, from the first floor plan to the last piece of art on the wall. I care a great deal about getting the practical decisions right, and I’ll admit I care just as much about the pretty ones, so you can expect a home that works hard for you and still looks good doing it.
