Ella Baker’s love for design began early, growing up in a family immersed in real estate, she helped flip houses and renovate commercial spaces while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Michigan State University. With over 10 years of experience in the high-end interior design world, her creative approach blends respect for historic architecture with modern functionality, creating spaces that are both elegant and inviting.
