Our Story
Hi, I'm Courtney.
I started Designs to Remember because I was tired of scrolling through a hundred different sites to find inspiration I actually wanted to save. I wanted one place — a real destination — for beautiful home decor ideas, outfits that make sense for real life, and beauty looks worth trying.
I've always been the person my friends text when they need a second opinion on a room refresh or want to know if a haircut will actually work for them. This site is basically that, but for everyone. You'll find curated ideas across home decor, fashion, hairstyles, nails, and makeup — all in one place, updated constantly.
Whether you're redesigning your living room, looking for your next haircut, or just want to see what's inspiring right now — you're in the right spot. I'm so glad you're here.

Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Designs to Remember
I created Designs to Remember because I believe great style — whether it's in your home, your wardrobe, or your beauty routine — should be accessible and exciting, not overwhelming. I curate ideas that are actually save-worthy: the living room inspo you'll screenshot, the haircut you'll finally book, the outfit that clicks. This is the site I always wanted to exist.
Anna Santos
Senior Editor
Anna makes sure every article on the site is polished, accurate, and actually useful. A graduate of Drexel University with a Bachelor of Arts in English, she brings a sharp editorial eye to everything we publish. When she's not editing, she's playing board games with her three kids or hunting for vintage furniture at estate sales.
Chloe Austin
Creative Director
Chloe curates all the visuals you see on Designs to Remember — she has an incredible eye for what's beautiful and what will actually resonate. She graduated from the Houston Art Institute's Visual Design program and has shaped our aesthetic from day one. Outside work, she loves long walks with her dog Missy and getting lost in interior design rabbit holes on Pinterest.
Emma Young
Social Media Director
Emma runs our social presence and has a gift for spotting trends before they go viral. She studied Journalism at San Diego State University and has been in the digital content world ever since. When she's not scheduling posts, you'll find her surfing with her husband or trying new recipes from the latest food blogs she follows.
Nick Simmons
Technology Director
Nick is the reason this site loads fast and looks great on every device. A self-taught developer with 15+ years of experience, he handles everything from the code that runs the site to the tools that make our team's work easier. In his downtime, he reads biographies of history's most interesting people.
Emily Chapman
Staff Writer
Emily writes a ton of the content you read here and is genuinely one of the most talented people I've worked with. She graduated from the University of Washington with a Writing Emphasis and has a real gift for making inspiration feel accessible and exciting. When she's not writing, she's hiking trails and snapping nature photos.
Hannah Weaver
Style & Beauty Expert
Hannah is our go-to for anything beauty and style-related. She graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Chemistry — so when she recommends a product, she actually understands what's in it and why it works. On weekends she's hiking with her husband Tim and their two dogs, Sadie and Bella.
