As Ashland’s first and only Design Resource Center we are proud to be an established part of the local and professional building community. Our doors have officially been open for THREE full years with more to come. It’s been quite the journey and we want to share it!
Ashland Design Studio is home to not only a Design Resource Center but also the services and expertise of JulieO Design and 2Yoke Design.
JulieO Design is a full-service building and interior design firm specializing in residential and small commercial projects in Oregon, California and Arizona. We collaborate with our contractors, architects and local artisans to utilize a multidisciplinary approach to interiors and to achieve innovative, client-centered design solutions. And clients learn throughout the process. What can be imagined and realized by working together is far greater than what we can achieve alone. Every client has with a unique set of challenges and desires. Together, we find innovative solutions. The goal is to make clients comfortable with the process of design, for their current project or the next one. Your interior design should reflect your style, not your designer’s.
