Beauty, Cost, & Schedule
You’ve probably heard us say it before: At Soucie Horner, the business of design is every bit as important as the creativity behind design. That’s why we’re firm believers in the importance of process, and why we monitor and protect your budgets as though they were our own. That’s true whether you’re a residential client or a commercial client. Because while we understand each prioritizes cost, schedule, and design differently, we also know all are critical.

Lead Designer
Inspired by a wide range of influences including the work of sculptors, fashion designers, painters, and even poets, Ilana gravitates toward thought-provoking, boundary-pushing works of art that display a deep respect for nature. “Color, pattern, light, and shadow have a profound effect on my design sensibilities,” she says.
