ABOUT US
Growing up in the suburbs of Seattle, Della developed a sense of appreciation for the calmness and beauty of her surroundings. She found herself drawn to the sense of emotion that a particular environment could provide both indoors and out and began remodeling homes in the early ‘90s.
She went on to earn her degree in Interior Design at the International Academy of Design & Technology in 2008, and has been dedicated to this path ever since. Her extensive travels abroad inspired a global awareness & unique approach to design.
A move to Orange County in 2011 allowed Della to plant roots into a new design market as she accepted a position at Design Within Reach where she met Emily.
A competitive figure skater in her youth, Emily’s love for interior design began from a young age as her family moved around the U.S. so she could train. With each move came a new home and it was her Mother’s attention to design and detail that fostered Emily's passion for art and interiors.
After an injury ended Emily’s prospective figure skating career, she was able to focus on her artistic goals and found herself at the Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design in 2007.
After spending time in NYC working for various design firms, Emily moved back to Orange County and eventually accepted a position at Design Within Reach where she met Della.
As coworkers, they immersed themselves into the Southern California design market and discovered their common interest and the ways in which their backgrounds and experiences offer different strengths as a team. Together they created Maison Blue Design Group and work to help clients execute the vision they are looking for within their own surroundings.
