Our Philosophy
ENDURING
We balk at the limitations of any one aesthetic, preferring to let your individual tastes and way of life inform the design. The team we assemble, from architect to builder, is one founded on trust and years of industry knowledge, ensuring your space will last a lifetime.
EXPRESSIVE
Through material, texture, and pattern experimentation, we design spaces that are both practical and meaningful, while maintaining a delicate balance between color and form. We are most thrilled by the projects that demand our unique and sophisticated interpretation of sensuality and comfort.
CONFIDENT
We are aware of how emotionally charged and worrisome the decision to invest in building or altering a space can be. We help you make the most of your investment and realize the full potential of your space by removing the complexity that can surround any project by offering you options, advice, and insight.
Our Approach
You bring the curiosity and an open mind; we’ll bring the expertise and the confidence to make it all come together.
We aren’t confined to a singular set of aesthetic rules, but are defined by a sense of feeling and intimacy, creating a signature that is both evolving and subtly unique. Trust, transparency, and open communication are what we’re all about. With our clear process, you’ll always know what’s coming next—no surprises, just smooth sailing.
The struggle of loving everything and nothing at the same time is real—it's like being stuck in decision purgatory. With trends flying at you from every angle on social media, we're here to give you the confidence (and maybe a little tough love) to make the right choices for your home—so you can stop scrolling and start creating a space you actually love.
At Valt, we take the typical cookie-cutter shapes of homes and introduce a few stray lines and skewed patterns—just enough to add intrigue without straying too far from the familiar. We like to think of it as adding just the right amount of mischief to the expected—enough to turn heads but not scare the neighbors.
With nearly a decade of combined experience in the industry, our vision is fueled by a deep love for high-quality materials and furnishings, which we treat like the MVP of our designs. Our approach is equal parts inspired and clever, with a sprinkle of industry know-how and just enough sass to keep things interesting.

“I can't imagine my life without an outlet for creativity- whether it be sculpture, painting, drawing - I've always sought ways to express myself.
