Heidi Fortner Interior Designer

Heidi Fortner

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the magic of transformation through design. Growing up alongside my father’s love for renovating houses, I witnessed the incredible metamorphosis each home underwent. Although my academic background led me to a degree in computer science, my heart always leaned towards the art of interior decor.

My journey took a unique turn when my husband and I, armed with my design ideas and his AutoCAD skills, built a one-of-a-kind 6,000 square foot house – a testament to our shared creativity and love for architecture.

As life unfolded, I explored various careers, but the allure of interior decorating remained constant. From personal homes to friends’ spaces, I ventured into the world of entrepreneurship, establishing myself in interior decorating. Collaborating with builders, I curated designs for model homes and selected elements for spec homes, reveling in the joy of creating spaces that resonated with both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The recession brought unexpected challenges, leading me to pivot towards a career marked by stability for 15 years. Yet, the call of my true passion never faded.

Now, I’m back where it all began – channeling my skills and experiences into creating beautiful spaces. From renovating beachfront properties to guiding clients through coastal home transformations, my journey has come full circle. They say when you love what you do, it never feels like work. For me, it feels like coming home.

Welcome to my world of design, where every space tells a unique story.
