Gretchen Finley Boyt
Gretchen Finley Boyt grew up in the Pacific Northwest beginning in Cannon Beach, OR, surrounded by the natural beauty of the beaches and forests the NW is famous for. Her love of design began as early as 5 when she would accompany her mother who did professional wallpapering and decor in the Cannon Beach area. Fast forward to today, Gretchen has graduated from the CPTC Interior Design program, studied historical architecture in Paris, and has been privately designing for clients on the East and West Coast since 2017.
Gretchen brings a unique balance of artistry and analytical thinking to every client she works with. Gretchen’s philosophy is that Interior Designers are artists, and a major part of that medium is functionality. Everyone has been in a space that looks beautiful but for whatever reason they are not comfortable in it. The discomfort may come from how the furniture feels, it may come from the positioning of the pieces in the room, it may be the colors used. Gretchen believes it is an Interior Designer’s job to find what makes their clients feel comfortable in a space and to deliver that in the most beautiful way possible.
Beyond residential design, Gretchen also has a unique perspective to bring to commercial design. For 10 years Gretchen owned a coffee shop with her husband Josh, and she is still involved in the coffee industry today. She understands what makes a space work for consumers as well as the staff who serve them. Through firsthand experience she knows how to establish a flow in a commercial space that creates a beautiful and seamless experience for the consumer which they will want to share through social media and beyond.
Through mood boards, AutoCad layouts and elevations, renderings and specification sheets, Gretchen handles each step of any project to make the process comfortable and fun for everyone involved. Her love of design and creativity is infectious and she would love to share it with you. See what you can create together by booking a consultation today.
