I believe great design should feel personal, intentional, and effortless. With 8 years of industry experience- and a professional background in banking and health care- I bring creativity, attention to detail, and a deep sense of care to every project.
Driven by a natural eye for design and a passion for creating intentional, personalized spaces, I have had the opportunity to serve clients throughout Salt Lake City and beyond. Over the years, I've helped homeowners transform their spaces into places that not only look beautiful but truly feel like home.
At Authentic Design Studio, we know life gets busy, and home project often take a back seat. That's why we handle every detail for you- managing decisions, working alongside your contractor, and doing our part to keep everything on track- so you can enjoy the process (and the results) without the stress.

Alexa play "This is how we do it"
We didn’t know what to do. My wife, Peppur, and I had recently bought a house in Chandler Arizona that needed some love. Initially we thought we could handle most of the interior design and remodel on our own. Ha! After a brief freak out period we pivoted and our real estate agent, Aurora, introduced us to Ashley and Authentic Design Studio. From the outset Peppur and Ashley connected on the overarching theme and feel for our entire first floor (living room, kitchen, dining room, and guest bathroom) design / remodel. Throughout the entire process Ashley thoughtfully and effectively communicated with us. Even through some of the challenges (and there are always challenges) we never felt neglected or alone. We came in on time and on budget and most importantly we absolutely LOVE the final result. It is now our home with reflections of both of our personalities. Highly recommend!
We absolutely LOVE the final result

Reviews
I couldn't give higher praise for Ashley and Authentic Design Studios if I tried! She was such a pleasure to work with and our space is just a giant breath of fresh air. My significant other and I had similar design taste in some areas, and completely opposite taste in others. Ashley did such a wonderful job of finding ways at every step of the process to appease both of our taste. She was so honest and kind and I appreciated her bright nature and professionalism so very much. Ashley worked around our incredibly hectic schedule with ease and was so accommodating. I walk into our space and it feels like home. There is far less clutter, but the space feels full and just perfect. Authentic Design Studios offered us consultations to get the feel of what we were looking for just right before we moved forward with making purchases and that helped to put my anxious mind at rest. I truly couldn't recommend her enough!

I couldn't give higher praise
Working with Ashley was such a dream. She took the stress out of the design process. She’s very good at listening to ideas and bringing them to life while also adding her own touch to a project within a budget you set. Our home design feels very much like us and I think that’s the best part about working with her. She’s responsive and so helpful with questions. She isn’t just our designer, she’s become a dear friend and I’m so glad we worked with her on our home

Working with Ashley was such a dream
Ashley was incredible to work with. From the very beginning of the process she listened to our vision and took charge to put it into action. Ashley was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. We had delays with Crate and Barrel and Ashley took charge to contact them multiple times to get resolutions. I would 100% recommend Ashley without hesitation. We can’t wait to use Ashley for the rest of our design process!

"I love the colors you selected and the art wall is beautiful! The space feels so open and yet intimate and inviting"
Those comments are from friends and family who have seen Ashley's work at our home. We are also thrilled! Ashley has a fantastic eye for paint colors, tile, stone, fixture and fabric selections. She designed our living room, family room, dining room, master bedroom, hall and master baths. Each room she considered our personal style preferences and then added just the right touches to pull the rooms together. Ashley also considered our budget, wisely balancing the splurge items along with less expensive purchases. This was our first time working with Ashley since we are new to the area. We anticipate a kitchen remodel within the next few years and we will only consider it when Ashley is available as our designer. Yup, she's that good!

Yup,
She's that good!
We were really impressed with how detail-oriented Ashley is. She helped transform our cookie cutter house into something amazing. She is a fantastic listener and does a great job integrating your hobbies and passions into her designs.
This may seem like a small thing but something I mentioned to Ashley is that I'm sensitive to bright lights. We really weren't sure how to navigate that since a lot of pendants and other lights have some soft or fogged or see-through glass shade. Ashley was able to source some lights with metals shades that not only solved this problem but look fantastic! Just one small example of how helpful she is.
We loved working with Ashley and hope to work with her again in the future!
