MEET THE TEAM

DOREEN M MORRIS

Founder of Muse Design Studio

I was born in New York City, just across the street from the Bronx Zoo an extraordinary place to grow up. As a child, I truly believed everyone had elephants in their backyard.

My entire professional life has been rooted in Art and Design. I began in the fine arts, then moved into silversmithing, creating my own jewelry line defined by a style I call Rustic Elegance. In 1989, while renovating my first home in New York, I fell in love with Interior Design. That passion quickly grew, leading me toward larger-scale projects and formal studies at Fairfield University in Connecticut, where I continue to deepen my craft.

With more than 30 years of design experience, my journey has taken me through many facets of the industry. I began designing kitchens in 1990 with a small New York firm, eventually taking on my largest project a nine-story, 200-year-old personal residence on Fifth Avenue. That work opened the door to designing a nearby storefront and several commercial kitchens before I ultimately committed myself to residential design. I later spent eight wonderful years on the manufacturing side of custom furniture and cabinetry and co-founded Artisan Home Designs. Today, I am the founder of Muse Design Studio.

Beyond my professional life, I am a mother, grandmother, and lifelong equestrian. In 2007 I bought and renovated a home in Massachusetts and reside here for the past almost twenty years. I have fallen in Love with Boston my new small city.
