Designing Spaces That Reflect Your Style
I’m Missy, and I’ve had a passion for interior design since I was a kid growing up on the West Side of Cincinnati. With over 20 years of experience in both residential and commercial design, I’m here to make your dream space a reality. My approach combines professional expertise with a deep understanding of what makes a house feel like home. I also have a superpower for upcycling items that clients already own, helping them stay within budget while giving new life to furniture and accessories—and keeping them out of landfills. Additionally, I’m honored to support nonprofits like New Life Furniture Bank and Impact 100 and was excited to be featured in Housetrend’s Magazine (page 60).
My Journey
Interior design has always been my calling. After receiving a degree in both Marketing and Interior Design, I built a diverse career that included roles in space planning, visual merchandising, and as a buyer and space planner of high-end fabrics and accessories at companies like Luxottica, Macy’s, and Frontgate. These experiences gave me the technical skills and creative insights I now bring to every project, along with a strong eye for detail and a commitment to getting things right. I also have experience running large projects with multiple teams to ensure the end result is on budget and on time.
Today, as the founder of Design With Missy, I work closely with clients across the Cincinnati Tri-State area to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. I’m also part of Werbrich’s Landscaping, also in Cincinnati, where I consult on outdoor furniture, merging my love for design with my husband’s passion for outdoor spaces. Together, we help clients bring their vision to life, inside and out.
My Approach to Interior Design
Every project starts with you. I begin by listening to understand your needs, style, timeline, and budget before putting pen to paper. Whether it’s a new build, a remodel, or a simple refresh, my process is built on collaboration, clear communication, and attention to every detail.
Blending colors, textures, fabrics, and furniture that reflect each client’s personality is what I do best. My goal is to make every space look polished and uniquely you, whether that means finding a high-quality statement piece, creatively working with items you already love, or tailoring my design expertise to suit your home’s architecture and functionality.
My approach when working with builders, contractors and architects is to ensure every design decision is executed seamlessly. I review blueprints, provide detailed spec sheets and 4D renderings, and help keep the team aligned and the project on track. By acting as a bridge between you and your construction team, I help eliminate miscommunication, minimize delays, and ensure the final result matches your vision.
What I Love About Interior Design
Nothing excites me more than turning a blank canvas into a work of art that clients will enjoy for years to come. A well-designed space should be functional, beautiful, and always feel like home. Seeing a client’s face light up when they step into their transformed space—that’s what makes every project worth it.
When I’m not designing, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Kevin, our two sons, Leo and Oliver, and our Maine Coon cat, Ashley. We’re a family of big Bengals fans (WHO DEY!), and we love all things Cincinnati.
