About Ashlin
When I was 12 years old, my family of 7 decided to move into an 800-square-foot house that was built in the 1940s.
My parents somehow squeezed five twin beds into the room I shared with my four younger sisters…chaos ensued. Someone was always crying and all I wanted was my own space.
One day my mom came into our room and told us we could do anything we wanted to the walls. I immediately grabbed my half-dried out Crayola markers and went to town.
One of the four corners of that bedroom became my wall - and it was my space to write my name in cursive, draw hearts, and tattoo with all of the things I loved.
With a little love, that small corner became my place.
My corner taught me the importance of creating a sense of place - no matter how big, small, cramped or quirky it may be. My purpose is not only to design what the eye can see, but to help you create your own place in this crazy and chaotic world.
