Meet Shelly
As the owner and principal designer of Highland Haus Design, I believe exceptional interiors are born from the intersection of thoughtful design and authentic living. My approach centers on understanding how you move through your home, what brings you joy, and how your space can elevate your everyday life.
My journey in design began in Highland, California, where I first discovered my passion for transforming spaces. After earning my degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University, I honed my craft at a prominent West Palm Beach design firm, building expertise across both commercial and residential projects. For the past 13 years, I’ve been proud to call Cary, NC home, where I’ve had the privilege of designing for clients throughout the Triangle area.
I approach each project by deeply understanding my clients’ needs, lifestyle, and personal style, then translating those insights into cohesive, elevated interiors. Whether it’s selecting the perfect material palette, reimagining a floor plan, or curating furnishings that tell your story, I’m committed to creating spaces that feel collected, intentional, and unmistakably yours. The details matter, and I take pride in ensuring every element serves both purpose and beauty.
