Founder & Principal Interior Designer of Sanctuary Spaces

Hey, it’s Greg!

Growing up, I had my first exposure to the world of home through my dad’s career as a home textiles buyer and product developer. Following in his footsteps, after obtaining my degrees from NC State University, I aspired to have a prosperous career in product development and fashion merchandising. Firstly developing home and apparel product for QVC and HSN, I knew then and there that I needed to lean in more! I moved on to work in branding and product development for the Lauren Ralph Lauren label.

After moving back to the sunny South, I landed in Atlanta working for the largest childrenswear company in the US. Here I held an integral role in the international expansion of multiple brands, the acquisition of the Mexican business, and the east Asia launch. I wrapped up my time there as the lead Merchant overseeing the quickly growing multi-channel international businesses operating in over 40 countries around the world. While I felt I had reached my ideal corporate role, I couldn’t help but to still feel a void. Ready for some drastic change, I began down a new path starting my own Interior Design and Staging business – Sanctuary Spaces.

As an entrepreneur, business owner and husband, I completely understand that people’s interior needs often times get put on the back burner. I am proud to offer flexible, accommodating, and cost-conscious services to all of our clients regardless of budget and scale of project. Getting to team with our clients while turning their home dreams into reality is both rewarding and brings me so much joy. There’s a little magic to having the eye, and walking others through those ‘a-ha’ moments will never get old.

I encourage all of our clients to lean into the process and let their true selves shine. What constitutes a Sanctuary is subjective - it’s through our close collaboration that we’re able to co-create the Spaces that allow you to be and show your best self.
