We Co-Create in Harmony

02.

When you choose Ashdown Studio, you unlock the expertise of two principal designers who bring different aesthetics to the table. Our captivating designs are a result of our diverse backgrounds.

We draw on influences from both Urban DC and Charleston’s Lowcountry, which empowers us to push boundaries. We love to be bold and challenge the conventional – while simultaneously honoring our deep-rooted respect for serene living spaces. Together we co-create striking spaces that are both timeless and on-trend. We are minimalists who incorporate maximalist elements and love to think outside the box. Whether it is an ultra-modern home or a classic coastal space, we pour our hearts into every detail.

Drawing on a background of design and photography, Liz’s work is the embodiment of art, beauty and culture. With nearly a decade of experience working with elite designers, Liz developed her own style that pushes boundaries and incorporates unexpected elements. She loves juxtaposing modern design with beautiful antiques – or adding an element of sophistication to coastal spaces.

Having worked on all sides of design Liz has fine tuned the necessary attention to detail the full scope of work requires - eliminating the stressful aspects projects and clients encounter. Her devotion to design is driven by the elation clients experience when she brings to life the home they have always envisioned and is unique to their lifestyle. Transforming a room into a functional and beautiful environment fuels her creativity. For Liz, there's nothing more fulfilling than knowing her work has made a positive impact on someone's life.
