Meet Joanna Brinckerhoff Design | Interior Designer In Chicago IL

With an MBA, a successful corporate consulting career, and over two decades of working on remodels and new construction projects under her belt, Joanna is no stranger to the worlds of design, managing complex projects, and serving clients.

When it comes to designing her clients’ homes, her unique ability to achieve just the right blend of elegant silhouettes and classic styles with comfortable, worry-free materials results in spaces that are distinctly timeless, sophisticated, and inviting.

Quality, exceptional service, honesty, and stewardship are at the heart of everything we do for our clients.

Joanna’s background in finance, project management, and customer service is the backbone of every project, ensuring every detail is handled with the utmost professionalism.

She goes all-in on her commitment to being her clients’ trusted go-to for every aspect of their projects. From helping them make smart design decisions to allocating their project’s investment wisely and advocating for their interests on the job site, Joanna treats every project as if it were her own.

Joanna lives in one of her dream homes (she’s had a few!) in a quaint suburb of Chicago with her husband, daughter, son, and dog.

Let's Chat About Your Project

Our Philosophy

We believe design is about so much more than paint colors, sofa fabrics, and kitchen cabinetry. It’s ultimately about helping you create a comforting place of refuge where you and your loved ones can enjoy each day, making memories and celebrating life together.

We see ourselves as stewards of your project. That means we take responsibility not only for the design itself but also for the planning, administration, and coordination of the many moving pieces and parts involved in bringing the design to life in your home.

Our client-centered approach means we’re focused on giving you a design process that’s as simple and stress-free as possible. Our commitment to honesty and clear communication, as well as our stellar problem-solving skills, make it happen!

We believe you deserve transparency in pricing. We work to communicate clearly upfront and throughout your project where every dollar of your investment is going so you’re never left guessing or wondering if we’re dealing fairly with you.

Good To Know

Our Product Sources

While we select products from a variety of sources, including local artisans and craftspeople, having ready access to theMART in the heart of Chicago uniquely equips us to provide our clients with amazing products we can vet in person to ensure they meet our high standards of beauty and quality.

Our Project Team

Everyone we bring onto your project, from window treatment fabricators to art installers to movers, is carefully vetted and personally overseen by Joanna. Our team of professional experts works together toward our shared goal of making sure you feel well taken care of as we bring your spaces to life.

Supporting Local Artisans

Whenever possible, we seek out and work with amazing craftspeople in Chicago (and in Utah for our Park City clients) to create beautifully unique, custom pieces designed specifically for our clients. These pieces not only serve to elevate our client’s spaces; they also bring support and focus to our talented community of artisans, makers, and craftspeople.
