Imaginative Design. Thoughtful Execution.
From historic residences to contemporary renovations and commercial spaces, Samantha Summers Interior Design brings together architectural expertise, artistic expression, and a delight in the unexpected. Led by California Certified Interior Designer Samantha Summers, the studio creates distinctive interiors that balance beauty, individuality, and function.
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to the art of creating. My career has taken me through television and film, graphic design, architectural interiors, and construction—experiences that continue to inform my approach to design.
I am a California Certified Interior Designer (CID) and Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). I hold a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Humboldt State University, a Certificate in Interior Design from UCLA, and a master's degree in Interior Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona. I have also completed a Construction Management Certificate through UC Davis.
Before establishing my practice in Humboldt County, I spent two years working with Architectural Digest AD100 designer Timothy Corrigan in West Hollywood, an experience that further cultivated my appreciation for historical architecture, craftsmanship, and richly layered interiors.
In 2013, I returned to Northern California and undertook the transformation of an 1871 Victorian residence in Eureka. Over seven years, I reimagined the home's interiors, bringing new life to its historic character through color, decorative finishes, custom artwork, and thoughtfully selected furnishings. My appreciation for architectural heritage has also extended into community involvement, including service on the City of Eureka's Historic Preservation Commission.
Today, my work encompasses residential renovations, historic interiors, and commercial design. I approach each project with equal consideration for architectural function and artistic expression, creating spaces that are personal, imaginative, and occasionally unexpected.
I believe the most memorable interiors offer something beyond beauty—a sense of discovery, a little whimsy, and a reflection of the people who inhabit them.
