Believing that creativity is a collaborative process, Elena Phillips partners closely with homeowners and their families to ensure their individual tastes and lifestyles are reflected in the environments she creates. Phillips specializes in a ‘new traditional’ aesthetic, one that mixes the essentials of both traditional and modern design creating approachable and comfortable environments. Her seamlessly integrated design elements result from working closely with architects, builders, landscape architects and skilled artisans.

After earning a BA from Colby College and a graduate degree from The New York School of Interior Design, Phillips began her career in New York City, working for renowned firms David Kleinberg Design Associates and Cullman & Kravis before starting her own company.  

Raised in Connecticut where she lives with her husband and three children, Phillips credits a lifelong love of travel with deepening her ability to tell richly woven stories through design. An associate member of the American Society of Interior Designers, Phillips projects range from city apartments to country houses and coastal retreats.
