Behind The Facade

…Steph’s biggest design challenge? Balancing her busy interior-design practice, her husband’s career, and two energetic daughters, without letting home life feel chaotic. “We wanted a haven,” she explains. “Ample storage, multi-mode lighting, and materials tough enough for family life but beautiful enough for clients.” The result is a house that “slots straight in” for any owner, she says, with “big windows that bring the outside in, so we rarely need lights on, just natural drama as storms roll in.”

Ready or Not Podcast

As a young professional, interior designer Stephanie Ferrara was lucky to be surrounded by good role models when it came to mixing family with business. But, it didn't mean that she could quiet the inner monologue that so many hopeful mothers play on repeat inside of their minds: how is this going to affect my career? How on earth am I going to tell my boss I'm pregnant? Like me and so many others, she felt apologetic, stressed, just thinking about it.
