A studio devoted to considered living
Austin interior design studio led by Erica Volkmer, creating collected, story-rich interiors for high-end residential, commercial and hospitality spaces.
We love an interior that tells a story
Erica Volkmer, Principal & Founder of Evensen Design, and her dynamic team work closely with clients to define and embrace their style. The studio's interiors are collected, not contrived — layered with texture and interest, and a fusion of high and low, because price shouldn't dictate interest.
Every space we envision is one of a kind: interesting juxtapositions, our client's existing pieces, a touch of whimsy — and yes, the occasional rule broken. Color is key, and great lighting is essential. That discovery process leaves clients not only in love with their space, but with a rich story of how it all came together.

Disciplines — residential & hospitality
Luxe yet whimsical, and never by the book
The way you live is dynamic — so we never apply the same rule to everything. Design should be interesting. It should be curated. It should be you.
Collected, not contrived
Interiors gathered piece by piece, layered with texture and interest — never ordered from a single catalog.
High meets low
A confident fusion of high and low, because price should never dictate interest.
Color & light first
Color is key and great lighting is essential — the two philosophies that drive every scheme.
A touch of whimsy
We thrive on breaking the rules and a slightly absurd moment — hello, mirror installed on top of mirror.
These are the details that matter
Both our residential and commercial design processes start with a deep-dive thesis on how you want your space to be experienced.
- 01
Deep-Dive Thesis
Where do you sit down with a book? How do you get ready in the morning? We map your likes, dislikes and rituals first.
- 02
Define Your Style
We help you define and embrace your inner style — building a scheme where color is key and lighting is essential.
- 03
Curate & Collect
Every piece is collected and curated with intention — vintage finds, custom designs and your own treasured pieces.
- 04
Celebrate the Special
If everything is special, nothing is. We create a hierarchy so special moments and special pieces truly shine.
