My passion is working with people and my gift is creating beautiful interiors. At a young age, around 12, I knew I wanted to be an interior designer. The plan was to complete my BA in Interior Design at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and spend my entire life in the field. Instead, in a time of need, I was recruited by my amazing mother who, at the time, owned a successful staffing firm in Virginia Beach. I worked as the Director of Operations for twenty years and I enjoyed helping people find people and helping people find jobs. It filled my “bucket” to work with so many unique individuals to make sure their needs and wants were met by counseling them and guiding them in the right direction.
Unexpected situations can catapult you into new adventures and that’s what happened when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a successful battle, it became clear that I need to use the rest of my time on this earth using all of the gifts I’ve been blessed with and so NEST Design & Décor was born. I opened an interior design studio and retail shop in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Iowa which quickly grew to a full service interior design firm, working on everything from home furnishings to full kitchen remodels. The experience was amazing and I'm so grateful for my clients and my stellar team who made it all possible.
Now in Florida, as Angelia Lynn Designs, I continue to provide expertise and designer home interiors to create a home where you can love living.
