Hi! It’s nice to meet you. I’m Caitlin. I am an explorer, rainbow-lover, scientist, hiker, coffee enthusiast, dog lover, and an artist. I am the creative mind behind Illumina Design Studio. I have a scientific background in the clinical laboratory and a passion for all things art and color, which allows me to bring a unique blend of analytics and creativity to designing vacation rental spaces.

After designing my own vacation rental, I fell in love with the design process and the creative possibilities that the short term rental market offers. From personal experience, I know what it takes to create a stand-out listing that resonates with future guests.

I believe in crafting spaces for gathering and connection that are cohesive, sophisticated, and comfortable. I believe in designing functional, elevated spaces that honor the story of the home. I believe in transforming ordinary spaces into exceptional guest experiences.

I can’t wait to meet you and learn how I can bring your ideas to life through design.
