Haven: a place of safety and refuge
Harbor: a place on the coast where vessels may find shelter.
These two words are more than just our name — they are the foundation of everything we do. At Haven + Harbor, we believe home should offer both comfort and clarity.
Our clients trust us to design thoughtful, livable spaces that invite them to take refuge, sink in, and set anchor. Because creating a home isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it feels. Between the ebb and flow of daily life and the milestones you'll celebrate within its walls, your home should ground you, inspire you, and reflect your story.
It should be your haven. Your harbor. Always.
HOME ISN'T JUST A PLACE.
IT'S A FEELING
HOME ISN'T
JUST A PLACE.
IT'S A FEELING
Creativity has always floated just beneath the surface of my life — steady, quiet, and deeply rooted. I've always been drawn to meaningful work. So if interior design were only about making things look beautiful, I wouldn’t have returned to it after a decade in the high-stakes world of healthcare. Let’s be honest: I’m not saving lives anymore. But I believe — wholeheartedly — that I’m still changing them for the better.
After earning my Bachelor’s in Design from The Ohio State University in 2006, I began my career in commercial retail design. When the creative constraints left me unfulfilled, I pivoted into nursing — spending nearly ten years as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. That unexpected chapter shaped how I show up: grounded, empathetic, and calm under pressure.
In 2019, design called me home. I returned with clarity and conviction — ready to create interiors that are beautiful, intentional, and rooted in real life. I proudly lead our team with process, intuition, and an obsessive love of detail. Our work is thoughtful, textural, and personal — designed to reflect your story and support your everyday life.
Wife. Momma. Principal Designer. Sunseeker in constant search of salty island ocean breezes. Believer that music, fresh air, and margaritas can solve most any bad day.

HELLO, THERE!
Somehow, Ohio people always seem to find each other! Also a SC transplant, Annika and her family now call Chapin home. Having recently graduated with an Interior Design certification, she's been an instrumental part of our team since early 2023. When she's not running between job sites or making magic happen behind the scenes, you'll find her spending time with her family and friends.

This South Carolina native has Chapin roots that took her to Charlotte, then Charleston, and back. She's passionately creative and has been a wonderful addition to our team since joining us in early 2024. When she's not keeping us organized, she's proudly playing her favorite roles ever--wife and momma. Her least favorite thing? Backing into a parking spot!

"Priscilla is a joy to work with! Her calm and collected nature reassured me all was under control and her artistic eye and keen attention to detail ensured a beautiful result."
LET'S DO THIS!
Step away from the paint swatches and stop trying to piece it all together solo. We know that designing a home isn’t always smooth sailing — there are choices to make, timelines to navigate, and unexpected setbacks along the way.
That’s why we approach every project with clarity, care, and a deep respect for the process. We treat your home as if it were our own — protecting your vision, your investment, and your peace of mind at every step.
With us at the helm, you’ll feel supported, inspired, and confident from beginning to end. Together, we’ll design a home that’s as beautiful as it is livable — a space that reflects who you are and feels like a true place to land.
ready to TURN THE
TIDE OF YOUR HOME?
we've got you.
