Welcome to Shining on Design!
I’m Samantha and I first want to say thank you for visiting my blog!
I love sharing the latest interior design trends, favorite resources for shopping and some tidbits of my life and home.
A little about me…..
I love interior design, entertaining and being a mom!
I was born and raised in Chicago, studied at the University of Iowa and Interior Design at Harrington College of Design. I now live in this darling town outside of Chicago with my husband, three daughters and little pup.
My background is in commercial and luxury residential real estate but my passion has always been in interior design. After my first daughter was born (4 years ago), I decided to focus on being a mom and pursue a more creative path. As my blog and portfolio are evolving, I hope you follow along and support me in this journey. I look forward to connecting with you!
