I believe in creative functionality and design honed by discipline. Whether designing the spatial use of an interior, specifying materials and systems for new construction, defining backgrounds, furnishings, or adding distinguishing decorative elements, my job is to interpret client needs in a way that clearly articulates an image and provides a solution to the problem. I become immersed in the client´s intended use for the space and conceptual inspiration emerges from this collaboration. I envision comprehensive projects and advance them to completion on all fronts. Great design, whether in new construction or renovation, demands that creativity, finance, and technology work together. Through years of experience executing successful projects I have formed an extensive network of experts to streamline the design, renovation, and construction process to deliver design efficiencies. I look at an entire project and consider the site, the cultural and economic environment, a client´s physical needs and budget constraints, while considering construction techniques and post-occupancy issues.

Biography

As principal and design director of the award-winning Diane Gordy Interiors, Diane Gordy, M Arch, has for 30 years practiced as a leading interior designer, new construction planner and manager, and renovation consultant conceiving and executing built environments from inception to installation in over 500 light commercial and residential design projects throughout the Eastern Seaboard, Southern California and abroad. Luxury renovation, green design, designing for life-changes, and universal design all fall within the realm of her capabilities. A trusted voice on achieving confident personalized elegance informed by comfort and livability, Gordy stresses originality rather than trend, creating timeless designs shaped by innovation and grounded in experience. Her rooms are defined by clear architectural definition, subtle contrasts, and a touch of the unexpected. Gordy´s life has been shaped by her early embrace and consistent devotion to the discipline. Gifted with a meticulous eye for detail, an artist´s understanding of light, and impeccable color memory, she possesses an uncommon sensitivity for beautiful objects and a natural instinct for scale. Her intuitive response to interiors is shaped by the foundation of her design and architectural training and her informed knowledge of and experience with all elements of construction. Gordy's passion for lifelong learning - she holds an undergraduate degree in Fine Art from American University and a Master of Architecture degree from the Catholic University of America - as well as extensive world travels and avid reading provide inspiration and inform designs that exceed expectation while honoring and articulating client lifestyle. A former Chair of the Maryland State Board of Interior Designers and former chair of the Maryland Coalition of Interior Designers, Gordy was an active leader in the Washington Metro Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) as a Legislative Liaison and Government and Public Affairs team leader, and has served ASID National on the International Advisory Council.
