Layered and inviting, Heather Hilliard’s interiors are distinguished by material integrity, refined understanding of scale and proportion, and a pared-back sensibility that’s conceptually rigorous yet approachable. “We combine classic detailing and traditional craftsmanship with the restraint of modern design,” says Hilliard of her eponymous firm’s award-winning approach. Since 2008, the Bay Area–based practice has transformed projects across the country and overseas—from urban dwellings in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights and Wine Country retreats in Healdsburg to custom homes in Hillsborough and high-rise apartments in Manhattan.
Hilliard, who originally studied fine art and worked in the museum industry before pursuing a career in design, has a knack for animating spaces with art. She travels internationally to major art and furniture fairs to stay abreast of trends while always working beyond them, bringing a visually sophisticated, historically rich, and global perspective to her craft. Whether designing for ground-up construction or remodels, all the firm’s work shares a primary focus on functional beauty and expressing clients’ individuality.
