Meet the Team Behind the Studio
Our Guild
At Guild Manor, every curated collection, design recommendation, and customer conversation is the result of collaboration — shaped by a team that lives and breathes interiors. We’re not just a store; we’re a working design studio dedicated to helping you create a space with soul.
Who We Are
We are stylists, researchers, creatives, and detail-obsessives. Some of us come from traditional interior design backgrounds. Others from product design, visual merchandising, or e-commerce. What we share is a deep respect for timeless form, natural materials, and the way thoughtful design can shape how we live.
Together, we scout, test, and refine every item in our store. We don’t follow trends — we set standards. Whether it’s selecting a pendant light with just the right tone of aged brass or advising a customer on how to balance texture in a living room, we bring expertise and intention to every decision.
Our Approach
Every product begins as a conversation — about purpose, materiality, and mood. We consider how it will sit in a room, how it feels in the hand, how it might age over time. Our work doesn’t stop at product curation. We’re here to help guide you through the design process, whether you're outfitting a whole home or searching for that one defining piece.
Why It Matters
We believe that design should feel personal, not prescriptive. That shopping for your home should feel as considered as designing it. By remaining independent, we’re able to focus on what really matters: quality, integrity, and creating spaces that feel as good as they look.
The Studio Behind the Scenes
Guild Manor is shaped by a small, thoughtful team of design-led minds. With backgrounds in interiors, sourcing, and creative direction, we work collaboratively to curate pieces that feel considered, not conventional. Every item we select is a reflection of our shared belief: that good design starts with intention — and ends in a home that feels like yours.
Leads with a clear vision for curated living—balancing refined design, honest sourcing, and a commitment to spaces that feel personal and enduring.
