About

Almost two decades ago, I walked into a design store for an interview and walked out with a job that would change my life. It was my parents’ shop, after all. As it turns out, a love for beautiful homes and happy people is in my blood, and I’ve been doing my best to nurture that ever since. It’s not always paint swatches and mattress testing (I had no idea the time and amount of learning required to be successful in this business!), but I’m still excited to be here, all these years later. Passion is key in design, and I’m lucky to feel more and more passionate about what I do each day.

​

I was thrilled to be named by House Beautiful and Traditional Home as one of the Top Young Designers in America in 2013. More recently I was named a top 5 Coastal Designer by Coastal Living and listed among Sotheby’s Top 20 Designers in America in 2020. My work has also been featured in Veranda, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Southern Living, Coastal Living, Country Living, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, and Luxe.

Client Testimonials

"The 1 hour consult with Andrew has saved us so much time! Andrew whittled down infinite choices to 1 or 2 that we like. He is essentially an Olympian paint color picker. We will not spend countless hours toiling over every design choice for our home. He was candid about some of the materials that we wanted to use so we could make the best decision for our family. My husband & I are now enjoying updating our new home together. We could not be happier with our experience & will be back!"

"Andrew was extremely helpful in all ways ... arrangement of furniture, types of furniture, scale, focal points of room, camouflaging structural flaws, and generally how to think about our space in a way that creates a beautiful and usable space."

"I can’t speak highly enough of my consultation with Andrew! We covered so much ground in a short amount of time; he (obviously) had amazing ideas and gave me terrific specific sources and vendors to look at for various things. He had decisive answers for my most vexing questions and his feedback was honest about things he did or didn’t like, which I really needed. He even shared some “tried and true” tricks of the trade, in his words. Professional and pleasant—THANK YOU, ANDREW!"

"Working with Andrew Howard, whom I've followed on Instagram for years, was a dream come true. His expertise brought clarity and excitement to the task of planning the design for our living room. Andrew's intuitive understanding of my vague vision and his skillful selection of fabrics and colors were outstanding. The process was engaging, informative and more than wort the cost.
