Quinn Parker
Quinn Parker is a pen name. The person behind it is a residential interior designer with around fifteen years in the field - more than ten of them in the Atlanta area, and the last five in the Pacific Northwest.
Most of that time was spent with a home design company, working on hundreds of homes on everything from single-room decor refreshes to full remodels. A 1940s Atlanta bungalow and a Pacific Northwest split-level have almost nothing in common - different light, different bones, different budgets - and working across both is why this site does not assume everyone is solving the same problem in the same house.
She writes under a pen name because her day job makes publishing under her own name a conflict of interest. That is the only thing here that is not literal: the projects are real projects, and everything described on this site was actually done.
