Ashley has always been drawn to design and the creative process. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Auburn University in 2014, where she also studied abroad in Italy—an experience that continues to shape her aesthetic and love for timeless design.

Her career began in Atlanta at a large commercial design firm, where she gained valuable experience working on complex projects and large-scale spaces. Eventually, Ashley returned to her hometown of Charlotte to explore residential interiors—and she never looked back. Since then, she’s worked across residential and commercial design, gaining a well-rounded perspective that informs every project she touches.

Her aesthetic is sophisticated, layered, and thoughtfully curated. She enjoys blending classic architectural details with bold, modern, and eclectic elements to create spaces that feel both timeless and fresh. Typically working from a foundation of neutral palettes and natural wood tones to bring warmth and cohesion, she also loves incorporating bold contrasts—whether through dramatic color, pattern, or texture—to add energy and visual interest.

Ashley founded AJI to serve clients with thoughtful, approachable design tailored to how they truly live. Her passion lies in collaborating with each client to create interiors that not only reflect their personality but also support the rhythm and function of everyday life. AJI currently works on projects throughout North Carolina and beyond—including homes in Alabama, Texas, and New York. Ashley loves traveling for both work and inspiration.
