Meet the Designer
Stacy says she first learned about good design before she could even walk. “My mother took me to every antique store, auction house, and design shop before I was out of diapers. We spent our weekends driving along quiet country roads in search of houses with intriguing architecture. My mother had extraordinary taste. The finest I have ever known.”
An accomplished interior designer, builder, and realtor, Stacy grew up in Houston, Texas. She graduated from Vanderbilt University and later moved to Paris to study design, continuing her education in furniture and antiquities at Sotheby’s in London. She began her career in costume design for film and television, earning an Emmy nomination for her work. Midway through her career, Stacy returned to her true passion, interior design. After working with Arlene Semel and Associates, a Chicago based interior design firm, she founded SG Designs. For more than twenty years, Stacy has focused on luxury residential design and renovation, bringing a rare, comprehensive perspective that seamlessly integrates design, construction, and real estate.
Inside the Design
Stacy specializes in creating homes that feel both beautiful and deeply livable. She loves the process of getting to know her clients and shaping homes that reflect their individual needs and stories. She delights in the search for the perfect piece and often prefers restoring items her clients already cherish rather than simply sourcing something new. “I believe your home is the passport of your life. There is no invitation quite like being welcomed into someone’s home.”
Alongside her design practice, Stacy developed a strong interest in purchasing, renovating and selling residential properties. This work allows her to bring her complete vision to life, from design and project management to construction and final sale. She has a proven record of creating value and achieving profitable results on more than a half dozen homes where others saw little potential.
