Talented creatives, focused on you

Erika Bonnell owner and creative director at Erika Bonnell Interiors

Erika

owner + creative director

Renowned for her design creativity, organized implementation and fierce attention to detail, Erika feels the homes of her clients should reflect the essence of their style and personality.

determined.
passionate.
confident.

She likes to work with clients to ensure that her designs enhance their daily habits and create lifestyle experiences. The goal is to create less stress so that home becomes a source of pleasure. Her focus is on design that helps clients experience a better way of life.

If you follow Erika on Instagram, you’ll see her greatest passions aside from interior design: Entertaining friends in her beautiful home, gardening (some of her best ideas come to her when she’s tending to her garden) and working with canine rescue charities (with her rescues, Frankie and Belle, always by her side).

Emilie

design director

When it comes to any home project, a can-do attitude goes a long way. Emilie has that in spades, along with a healthy dose of sarcasm, because while she’s serious about design that doesn’t mean she can’t have a bit of fun along the way.

multifaceted.
experienced.
erika-wrangler.

Whether it is project management or creating an inviting room design, Emilie’s skills are up to the task.

Emilie’s time away from the office is the definition of the shoe being on the other foot as her custom home build is well underway and there is much to be done! Which may be why she’ll continue her yearly treks to Montana to recharge and reset for what awaits upon her return. Her other loves are her two sweet Weimaraners, her hubs and cooking healthy recipes.

a challenge.
hostess with

With many years of client care under her belt, Tara is our go-to for all things service and marketing related. She is an integral part of making sure the wheel is always spinning. Balancing creativity and organization is her specialty! When she’s not taking care of clients’ needs, you can find her behind the camera lens, sipping wine or hanging out with family and friends.

EMMA

design assistant

A recent graduate of Marymount University, no job is too large or small for her invaluable support. She helps bring life to our projects and is eager to learn.

focused.

eager.

When she’s not working, she’s chasing her toddler around or prepping for her upcoming wedding.

The EBI Difference

Our secret sauce, i.e. what makes us stand apart

Erika’s so organized, responsive and on top of every single detail! I never had to worry, and any issue that would arise she would handle without worrying me until it was solved. Plus, she understood my style immediately – it was like she crawled into my brain and could see exactly what I was envisioning. I had so much fun designing my space with her and have been absolutely thrilled with the results!
