Through Your Light
HANNA LI
All my life, I’ve been a creative. I interact with the world through a visual lens, and I’m always curious about how things come to be. There’s a history and story behind everything we touch in the material world, whether it was made by us or nature. My passion is to understand that past, and how I can shape the future.
Our world is ever evolving with an overwhelming exposure to stimulants like technology, social trends, and cultural shifts. I believe that we are our best selves when our external environment connects with our internal Beings, our highest forms. My role as a designer is to calm the senses and figure out what is truly you, and reflect that through your home. This alignment is the keystone beginning to living your authentic truth.
In Good Company
Est. in 2016
As siblings, Hanna & Jeff are natural complements with their right-brain/left-brain aptitudes, having graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) & Berkeley Haas School of Business, respectively. Our culture embodies the sentiment: “do what you love, and the rest will follow.” Beyond academic practice, the team utilizes their passion and design instincts as the bridge that connects ideas to results. As such, every project we do is really a love letter from us, to the client.
In our early stages, it was a constant fine-tuning process to define what our core principles are. We learned that in order for our design language to attune to the pace of modernist lifestyles, we have to remain agile and adaptive. How we interact with each element in our homes is ever changing — with new technology, environmental shifts, and social movements that altogether shape and reshape how we live. To establish a sense of order in chaos, the studio’s strength is in its ability to truly listen and perceive what our clients want, and then translate those needs into tangible forms.
Today, we continue to push boundaries and rethink what’s possible. From designing the interiors of a new development, to refreshing existing spaces, to specifying finish materials for a remodel, each project is carefully assessed by the team so we can uncover the underlying story that will drive the design ethos and direction. We love what we do, and we look forward to telling your story.
Celebrate Your Authenticity
It is important for our clients to feel a deep connection to their environment, and we are committed to telling each story through the lens of our artistic style & academic discipline. We do this by incorporating elements that are highly bespoke, while assigning each keystone object a meaning & belonging. It is through this process of honest exploration & vulnerable revelation with the client that we ultimately discover what you love, and who you are.
Knowledge & Experience
Starting a project can often feel overwhelming. Our core competencies in interior design and construction alleviate that stress to bring concept to reality. Whether it’s an interior refresh with new furniture & accessories, or a new-build with cross-functional collaboration between architect, builder, and engineer — every project is meticulously assessed and developed with leverage from years of education, training, and experience. The result is a space that clients are proud to live in, share with, and call home.
Source Local, Think Global
Our emphasis on sourcing & using sustainable materials stems from the awareness that the future depends on the ethical decisions we make today. We can prolong the lifespan of this planet by critically understanding the environmental impacts of modern production, then mitigating that cycle through conscious lifestyle modifications. Thus, whenever practical, our studio uses materials that are natural, eco-friendly, and sustainably sourced.
“Hanna is a rockstar. I'm blown away by not just her knowledge about design but also her take on conscious living, breathwork techniques, how to be healthier, how to attune to my senses, and how to make every detail of my home serve me. Thanks guys!”

“Jeff and his team are great! They have been helping us with an addition, helped us find a contractor who would be in budget, and have been super communicative. Jeff was able to work with us and value engineer things to help save costs. We love this team, thank you!”
