Kelsey Bringle for Ethan Allen Charlotte/Pineville

During my uprising, I found my place in producing art of all types. Having spent almost a decade in fine arts, I decided to branch out into Interior Design and Architectural drafting my last two years of high school and to eventually pursue it in college. Interior design was never at the forefront when choosing what I wanted to be when I grew up. However, aside from rearranging my room constantly, my mom always told me I had a knack for interior design and I never failed to give my input on her home. I now hold a certificate in Architectural Technology and an Associate’s Degree in Interior Design from Central Piedmont Community College, and I've never felt more confident that I'm pursuing a career I'm entirely passionate about. With the knowledge gained through experience in high end consignment furniture, retail, and through my rigorous studies, I feel I have the capability of successfully listening to the needs of clients and collaborating on a creative vision. I bring to the table a youthful, yet collected and textural style while remaining comfortable and functional – an idea I wish to incorporate into my clients’ homes. Ultimately, my goal as an interior designer is an equal collaboration between myself and the client to find the style that best suites their aesthetic and is tailored to their lifestyle.
