You’re not hiring us for fluff. You’re hiring us because you want it done right — the first time.
Studio Renée operates at the intersection of design and construction. We partner with builders, developers, and detail-oriented homeowners who expect organization, accountability, and execution at a high level.
We create thorough specifications. We manage materials with precision. We coordinate closely with trades.
The result?
Fewer surprises. Fewer delays. A home that honors your investment.
Sam is the Founder and Creative Director of Studio Renée. Raised as the daughter of a welder, she grew up reading plans and understanding how ideas become structures.
That early exposure shaped her approach to design. She does not see interiors as surface treatments. She sees them as integrated systems that must function within the realities of framing, cabinetry, mechanical coordination, and trade sequencing.
Her work is known for its refinement and warmth, but it is equally recognized for its structure and clarity. Sam is deeply organized, detail-driven, and committed to supporting the trades that bring a project to life. She believes that strong design leadership creates stronger collaboration on site.
Studio Renée has been featured in Architectural Digest and has contributed to industry conversations through guest appearances at Design Chicago, the Bridgewood Cabinetry Conference, and the IDCO Podcast.
At its core, the studio is defined by discipline, authenticity, and a commitment to doing the work thoroughly.

We hired Sam to help with a full remodel of our new home, and it was the best decision we made. She brought
positivity, clarity, and a true vision for the entire property, helping us turn overwhelm into a cohesive plan.

Sam and team helped us rediscover the soul of our 1890s home. After decades of awkward remodels, they redesigned our kitchen and mudroom to honor the home’s original character while making it truly work for our busy family.

I highly recommend using Studio Renée if you are looking for someone to walk you through a design or renovation process. I’m so happy we did. I feel more comfortable in my home, and it was so, so worth it.

Embarking on a whole-house remodel can feel daunting, but thanks to Sam and her team, our beloved Hood River cottage is now a space we absolutely adore.
We collaborate closely with homeowners and builders to create homes that are thoughtfully detailed, technically sound, and designed for real life.
Our work does not end at the concept.
It continues through coordination, problem solving, and disciplined execution.
The result is a home that feels resolved, grounded, and ready from the moment you walk in.
