Interior Designer
Peyton Waters
Peyton’s love for design comes from the art of repurposing furniture. Finding the most run down piece that holds little beauty to the naked eye, and building it into something glorious. She views design the same way, taking a space where most see no vision and molding it into one that can be relished. After years of creating, Peyton furthered her skills at Kean University where she earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Interior Design. Now, she applies that same flare of creativity, fused with her logical problem solving approach to every space she works with.
“My passion is for the story, how each finished space gives a glimpse of the personalities that embody it.”
