it's personal

inviting our team into your life to design where your family is going to spend the majority of their time together is a huge exercise in trust. We work closely with our clients to define how we can design a space that serves them, and we hone in on their specific tastes to curate a home that feels catered to them.

Hey there! I’m Hannah.

A love for design has been in my bones since the very beginning. My mom has always shaped a comforting and beautiful home around us, and she had a design consultancy business specializing in custom draperies when we lived in New Jersey, just outside the city. Shortly after our town was impacted by 9/11, my dad followed his dream of becoming a custom home builder in my early teen years, and that’s what ultimately brought us to North Carolina, in turn trading the hustle and bustle of the north for a slower southern pace of living for our family.

In 2018 my first son, Sutton was born still at 29 weeks - a loss nobody should have to experience. In the dark months that followed, I found myself only wanting to be at home, shut off from the world that was still moving quickly around me. All I wanted was a safe space. So, I started creating that for myself, and although I’d designed beautiful homes for myself before, this felt different. I quickly thought that everyone should get to experience this type of healing in their home, this type of comfort, this type of love.

I now live in “small town”, North Carolina with my husband and 1 year old miracle baby boy, Charlie.

From a journey of loss, the beauty of The Highpoint House came to be

helping other families define what home and haven looks like for them.

Our designs honor the integrity of the homes and the families residing in them.

Our signature look highlights classic design with a clean modern twist. We infuse clean lines, organic textures and finishes, calming colors, and inspiration from nature into each space we create. We truly believe every person deserves a safe haven to call their own - to heal in, to love in, to laugh in, to live in. Home should be the high point of your everyday.

Hannah did an outstanding job recreating our new house into a home. She took everything I envisioned and always dreamed of having and made it 10 times better than what I could have ever done!

Hannah redesigned my office space -- in the time of working remote, it was important for me to have a space that reflects who I am and provides me with a calming atmosphere. Hannah delivered on all my asks and then some. I couldn't be more pleased!
