Design Philosophy
I believe that design should be a true reflection of who you are and what you love! By creating spaces that are true to ourselves we can live a more mindful and intentional life. I am passionate about helping people find their own unique style without following the newest design trends. When we fill our spaces with things that bring us true joy we can create timeless and unique designs that can be enjoyed for years to come. I can't wait to create something unique and inspiring with you!
About Tori Payton
Hi all and welcome to my little corner of the world! Interior design is one of my greatest passions in life and I can't wait to share it with you!
My design journey has been messy, long, and above all else, beautiful! My love for design started when I was a little girl. Every summer while I was away my mom would spend the entire summer redesigning my bedroom into something truly creative and magical. It was a highlight of my childhood and it made me feel so special and loved and inspired me to be creative. As I entered my teen years my bedroom became a place where I could dream and create the life I wanted. Growing up life had some difficult moments and my bedroom became my safe haven, where I could create the life I dreamed of. From the streets of Paris to a Tiffany's store in NYC, my room became an escape, and a source of inspiration for the future that laid ahead.
Then came my college years…. which were…messy… When deciding on a career I thought I needed to choose something that would make me "worthy" or that would impress everyone. In my heart, I knew I loved design but didn’t think it would make me “successful”.... whatever that means… I started out wanting to go to Med school, which then led to a long list of changing my major to be a teacher, nurse, psychologist, lawyer, public administrator, and the list goes on. I finally got a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and started a Master's in Public Administration. During my first year of my Master's, I had my beautiful and wonderful daughter and my whole world changed. I quickly stopped caring about others' opinions and knew that how I led my life was going to be a reflection onto my daughter. If I wasn't doing what I loved and wasn’t following my passion how was she going to do the same? Coming to my senses I talked with my husband about switching my major just oooooone last time, into a Masters of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture and Design. His only response was "Finally!".
Since then I have been on the most incredible journey. I wake up every morning excited about my career and all that is to come. I can't wait to get to know you and help you design truly inspiring spaces!
