Meet Isabel Sellhausen, a New York designer with a background in interior design, creative strategy, and research, exploring interiors, architecture, culture, and place.

Isabel is a New York–based designer working across interiors, creative direction, and design research. With a BBA in International Business and graduate degree in Interior Design from Parsons, her work sits somewhere between the highly considered and the slightly unexpected—where color, material, and culture intersects. Working closely with designers, architects, makers, and artists to bring ideas to life from the first sketch to the final detail.

Her interests extend beyond interiors into architecture, landscape, cities, culture, sustainability, and the social life of places. Essentially, the endless question of how design shapes the way we move through the world, and who gets to decide.

During her time at Parsons, Isabel received the Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Award for her final community project that demonstrated outstanding leadership in the advancement of equitable living in the built environment. Isabel is a LEED© Green Associate with foundational professional competency in green building principles and core sustainability concepts.

Alongside independent design work, Isabel writes good condition, an ongoing exploration of design, everyday life, and the spaces in between.
