Hello!

I’m Angela, an interior designer, real estate investor and owner of Elephant in the Room Interior Design.

I began swinging a sledgehammer, designing + staging homes in 2007 as part of the family business of real estate investing.

My unique background combines over two decades of experience in advertising and marketing, with a deep understanding of real estate investing.

This blend allows me to maximize property equity by strategically designing and staging spaces that appeal to buyers' psychology and purchasing behaviors.

I guide clients across the United States and Canada through selecting finishes, fixtures, and furnishings to completely transform their space.

If you're looking for someone who can transform spaces with a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and a deep understanding of the real estate market, then let’s get started!

design services for Real Estate Investors Nationwide

I work with real estate investors across the U.S. to design properties that perform — not just photograph well.

Through strategic E-Design, I help investors make confident, informed decisions around layout, furnishings, and finishes, with a focus on durability, guest experience, and long-term returns. This process is especially effective for short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals, where design choices directly impact pricing, occupancy, and reviews.

Detailed visual plans and clear specifications allow you to see how design decisions will function within your property before committing capital. The result is a streamlined, cost-effective approach that reduces risk while elevating the overall quality of the investment.

Projects include furnished rentals, single- and multi-family properties, new construction, and select commercial and professional spaces — regardless of where the investor or property is located.

Avoid Costly Mistakes with E-Design
E-Design is a practical way to align design decisions with investment goals. By clarifying choices early, investors gain better control over budget, timelines, and outcomes — without sacrificing design integrity.

Procurement + Design Implementation

Design doesn’t end with a plan — it has to be executed well.

I support investors nationwide through FF&E selection, specification, and procurement, ensuring that design decisions translate seamlessly into cohesive, finished spaces. This work focuses on clarity, coordination, and alignment with the intended use of the property — whether the goal is guest experience, durability, or speed to market.

For projects located in Indiana, additional on-the-ground services are available, including warehousing, assembly, delivery, and professional installation. This allows for a higher level of coordination when local execution support is beneficial, while maintaining the same strategic design oversight across all projects.

Procurement and implementation services are ideal for furnished investments and rental properties where execution, timing, and consistency matter as much as the design itself.
