Melanie Love, Founder & Principal Designer
Melanie Love founded Love & Interiors in 2017 with the goal of creating cozy, thoughtful spaces that both support and provide refuge for our busy, modern lifestyles. She’s drawn to an eclectic mix of design styles, combining elements from different eras to create layered, personal spaces. Spending time in nature provides clarity and space to germinate creative ideas and is the foundation for much of her inspiration.
Melanie holds a Masters of Interior Design from Brenau University in Atlanta, Georgia. After moving to San Francisco in 2012, her experience staging homes around the Bay Area allowed her to quickly become familiar with the local architectural vernacular before designing residential and commercial spaces in Northern California and beyond. She enjoys traveling as often as possible, finding inspiration in architecture and design wherever she goes.
On the weekends, you will often find her hiking with her pup and Mr. Love, bathing in the beauty of Northern California or perusing a local vintage market .
Karly Deal, Senior Designer
A Bay Area native, Karly pursued her childhood dreams, graduating in Interior Architecture from CSU Chico. Her experience spans across small studio residential design firms throughout the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe region. She draws her inspiration from her love of the outdoors and values spaces that feel warm and inviting, yet prioritize form and function. She has a deep appreciation for the art of space planning, treating each project as a puzzle to solve.
Her heaven consists of hiking to new swimming holes, hot spring hunting, camping in her roof tent with her fluffy pup, and eating her grandma’s homemade tortellini.
Lindsay Cimoli, Senior Project Manager & Designer
Lindsay is a fourth-generation Bay Area native who earned her bachelor's degree in Interior Design from San Francisco State University. With experience at both large and boutique design firms throughout the Bay Area, she has cultivated a thoughtful, highly organized approach to design and project management. Lindsay is known for her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to creating an exceptional client experience. She finds great joy in helping clients create homes that reflect their style and lives.
When she's not designing, Lindsay enjoys exploring nature, reading a good book, tending to her growing plant collection and her pet rabbit, Benji, or working on a puzzle.
