ABOUT

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Ariana has always been passionate about art and design. From a young age, she found herself drawn to the world of creativity and knew that this was the path she wanted to pursue. This led her to enroll at The Fashion Institute of Technology, where she honed her skills and developed a keen eye for design.

After graduating, Ariana embarked on a career in handbag and accessories design, displaying her unique flair for combining style and functionality. With a desire to explore new horizons, Ariana ventured into furniture design, broadening her expertise and gaining invaluable experiences abroad.

It was in 2011 that Ariana's childhood passion for interior design materialized into reality. Together with a like-minded friend, she co-founded the renowned interior design firm, Lake + Hill. Their shared vision and commitment to creating stunning spaces resonated with clients, and the firm quickly gained recognition for their innovative designs.

In 2023, she took the leap and decided to forge her own path, officially launching Chestnut Hill Interiors. This new venture allowed her to fully express her unique design philosophy and offer a more personalized approach to her clients.

At Chestnut Hill Interiors, Ariana's approach to design goes beyond just aesthetics. She understands that a home is a reflection of its occupants, their lifestyle, and their personal aesthetic. By taking the time to understand her clients' needs, she is able to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also enhance their daily lives.
Collaboration is at the heart of Ariana's design process. With her clients as active participants, they work together to build a plan, define a budget, and select durable materials and personalized products. From there, a team of experienced tradesmen, architects, and craftsmen assist in bringing the vision to life, resulting in a cohesive, upscale, and streamlined home.

When not immersing herself in the world of design, Ariana cherishes time spent with her loved ones. She has four beautiful children who inspire her every day, along with two lively golden retrievers. Her supportive husband, who possesses an unwavering patience, stands by her side as she explores her passion.
Ariana's love for all things home-related extends beyond her professional life. Whether it's scouring local boutiques for unique décor pieces, cooking delicious meals in her kitchen, or entertaining friends and family, she finds joy in every aspect of creating a warm and inviting space. In her downtime, she loves nothing more than to escape into nature and go hiking with her energetic puppies.

Currently, Ariana calls Wilton, CT, home. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the area, she finds inspiration everywhere she looks. As she continues to grow and evolve as a designer, Ariana remains dedicated to creating spaces that not only captivate the eye but also resonate with the heart.
