This past week, we had the honor of designing a table for Kappa Settings in support of Heaven's 27 Foundation and NAMI Central Texas. It was such a joy to hear from Houses & Parties (I am a long time fan) and to get a glimpse into her book, A Screaming Blast—a reminder of the lasting power of a spectacularly designed event.
For years, I’ve imagined a garden party beneath the oak trees—something reminiscent of the ones we experienced while living in Charleston. Texas weather, full summers, and a season of life with young children have made that vision a difficult one to realize… so I took this opportunity to bring it to life indoors :)
Each element of the table was considered as part of a larger composition—layered, collected, and full of color and life. We kept florals and candlelight low, allowing conversation to move easily across the table. Because at its best, design sets the stage for connection, for memory-making, for the good stuff.
This is always our hope: that what we create feels personal, lived-in, and closely reflective of the people it’s meant to hold.
Grateful to have designed alongside such a talented group of Austin creatives, and to support organizations doing important work for families and mental health in our community.
