Redbird Redesign

Interior Designer

RedBird Redesign opened its doors in 2011 after I spent years helping friends and family renovate kitchens and baths, rearrange furniture and put finishing touches on their homes for fun. A casual comment from a friend “you should do this for a living!” started the ball rolling.

I quickly found my niche in ‘livable’ design which I consider to be a coordinated, polished look that is welcoming and functional. I love collaborating with my clients to produce designs and solutions that reflect their personality and lifestyle. Integrating personal items, favorite pieces or a family member’s special hobby makes each project unique and more successful. I’m a Type A project manager. I live by to-do lists and shared calendars, never miss a deadline and look for excuses to make a spreadsheet. And I love a challenge! Bring me your cluttered, overworked family room or cramped pink and black tile powder room and let’s turn it into a showpiece! Read more

    Colleen and her team were amazing. I wanted to glam up my entry and living room and they had some wonderful suggestions using many of my existing pieces plus some new key elements that I would never have thought of before. She was very attentive and we were able to move through the project at a good pace. Can't wait to work on my next project with RedBird!

    I can't say enough great things about Blue House/Maureen. We had a mess of a backyard - trees cutting into a fence, ground cover for days and just an overall boring yard. She came in and outlined a vision of how we could make it both functional for our family + make it wonderful to look at. She took all of our "wants" and incorporated them into the overall design. We couldn't be happier with the final product which includes raised bed gardens, a number of trees that are right sized for the yard, a patio, area for trash cans and lattice under the deck. And finally she's incredibly responsive (based on my experience this was really hard to find!)

    Worth it! I like to think of myself as a pretty resourceful and visual person with reasonable good taste, but I was beyond stuck on repurposing our "dining" room into a reading/relaxing lounge.

    ... Colleen was terrific in listening to my needs, being responsive to my questions, and understanding my taste. I liked that we didn't just one go at a layout- and it was shown to me for input and revision to look like something that would work for our family. I liked the final work product of the floor plan and several pieces of furniture and lighting.

    ... It'll feel cohesive, well thought-out and it'll be beautiful!

    Colleen is super professional and super talented. We gave her a tough project on a tight budget and she delivered some ideas that have truly transformed not just our space but the way we act as a family in the space. Our "makeover" will probably take a year or two to fully implement but already we've been able to move our existing furniture around to mirror the eventual goal. Over time, we'll add the pieces that she recommended. I really appreciate that she provided several different options in each category but has eliminated the overwhelming task of searching online for the "perfect" overhead light, rug, couch, etc. I trust her vision and I'm sure we'll have her back again when we have other projects!

    Love RedBird ReDesign! Colleen has a great eye for all things interior design and an uncanny knack for knowing just what a living space needs to make it special. Are you remodeling your home and need help picking out fixtures? Are you on a budget and can't decide on a few key pieces to tie your living room together? Colleen can help! She can make your home the environment you've always hoped for and a bonus is that she is both fun and profession!
