CHELSEA-SHAY FRIESEN
I'm married to my favorite person, who also happens to be the hottest man alive, Luke. We have two of the cutest little girls in the entire world, Winslett and Brighton, plus two fur babies, Breck & Boulder.
These days when I'm not chasing my girls around I enjoy playing tennis, following Formula 1, and watching baking shows.
Date nights are almost always a decision between sushi or tacos. We also really like to read; mostly YA or rom-coms for me, and some combination of military history or nerdy fiction for Luke.
Designing and organizing spaces has always been my passion and skill. As a kid I would spend hours in my closet, reorganizing it just for fun. I love making a place more beautiful, I still can't believe I get to do it as a job, and I can't wait to work together with you!
Owner & Principal Designer
LUKE FRIESEN
Director of Finance
I'm also married to my favorite person, who happens to be the hottest woman alive, Chelsea. What a coincidence! In our relationship, Chelsea brings the fun, I bring the facts. But hey, facts can be fun too! I love being a dad and parenting our girls together.
Designing and organizing finances and processes has long been my skill. I studied business in undergrad and then got an MBA at Texas A&M, which led me to a really interesting seven-year stint in management consulting. I got to travel across the country and around the world helping companies solve problems and manage complex projects. Since then, I've spent the last decade working at Watermark Community Church, where I'm the Senior Director of Operations. That's still my full-time job, but on the side I love helping Chelsea run the business side of HHDC!
When I'm not doing something business-y, you'll find me with my nose in a book, or on my Peloton bike, lifting weights, or indulging in some kind of baked treat. It's nice to meet you!
SARAH WALKER
Principal Designer
My passion for design began many moons ago while watching HGTV on repeat as a kid with my mom. I couldn’t get enough, and decided at 12 that this was what I wanted to do. I attended Auburn University and received a Bachelors of Science in Interior Design, and soon landed my first job in Dallas designing commercial office interiors. I took a brief design break to work at my church as the Operations Assistant, but missed flexing my creative design muscles, so when I was promoted to stay-at-home mom I took on a part-time residential design job, and loved getting to learn the residential side of the industry! After baby number 2 came along, I was ready to get back in the game and couldn’t be more excited to now join this team of amazing women, getting to do what I’ve always loved!
Outside of work life, I am married to my best friend, Travis. He never meets a stranger and always keeps me laughing. Our daughter Hattie is shaping up to be a creative and imaginative little girl. We also have a baby boy Wyatt, who is a delightfully chunky and happy (not so) little guy.
I’m thrilled to be working alongside this crew of women and can’t wait to get to know you and serve you in your next project!
TAYLOR DAVIS
Lead Designer
Dallas has been my home for the last 5 years, but I am a Louisiana girl at heart! I worked on the vendor side of the home interiors industry for over four years, which led me to this incredible position as Designer! God has been so kind in providing the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful team. Being a Designer fills both my organization and creative cup— what more could I want?
Home Interiors and fashion have always been my passion. Outside of my time as a Designer I own an online women’s clothing boutique which allows me to keep my hand in the fashion industry! Friends and family are my world, and my niece and nephew are the cutest things on the planet. I might be a little biased, but if you saw them, you really couldn’t blame me!
I absolutely love sharing a meal with others, coffee with friends, and going on walks. If we aren’t trying something new, you can typically find me and my husband at R&D Kitchen or Hudson House on the weekends.
I hope this gives you a glimpse of who I am and how grateful I am to be a part of this team. I can’t wait to help you with your next project!
MURPHY MURPHY
Lead Designer
For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for design and helping others. I was also always encouraged to do the things I love. Fortunately enough, I get to do those things every day with people who are just as passionate about design and helping others as I am. One of my favorite parts about working in the design industry is being able to create a space that someone loves and feels comfortable in. I can do a little bit of everything and continue to learn from the fantastic people working around me. The best part of being a part of HHDC is knowing we are all working hard to help our clients achieve what they had dreamed of for their homes.
BRITTANY BUNDREN SMITH
Project Manager
I was born and raised in a big family with Dallas roots that run generations deep. I attended Texas A&M University with a Communications degree and a minor in Business. After school, I came home and ran events for Watermark Community Church for 7 years. My giftings and passions merge when it comes to all things's details, organization, and planning. Whether it be a large corporate event or design project, I love to check all the boxes and execute the plans. In 2014, I married a fellow Dallas boy, Daniel, and we now have 3 amazing kids, Savannah, Teddy, and Sage. Daniel is the Director of Real Estate and Development for a firm in Dallas, so our date nights often look like Tex-Mex and dreams that are executed over a spreadsheet. My free time looks like coaching my kids sports, working out, and doing puzzles. Mostly, we love traveling with our kids! They might still be young, but it doesn’t stop us from teaching them to snow ski, hiking in the mountains or playing at the beach. I love working at HHDC because it's a perfect fit for my passion for details and organization to the team
