DESIGN ESSENTIALS PNW
Rooted in story. Designed with intention.
Founded in 2024, Design Essentials is the creative vision of Wendy — a designer, stylist, and storyteller with a passion for curating beauty across mediums. With a background in interior design and experience collaborating with creative firms, Wendy launched DE to offer a holistic approach to design: one that blends space, strategy, and soul.
Whether styling a home, crafting a brand voice, or developing a concept for print, Design Essentials is about creating work that feels personal, purposeful, and visually magnetic.
“Design Essentials is more than a studio — it’s the through line of how I create. From interiors to fine art photography, from the curated finds in my Collected shop to the visual storytelling I craft for brands, it all begins with the same belief: that design is everywhere — layered with meaning, grounded in purpose, and always worth creating with care.”
