Audrey Lin is a formally trained interior designer with over five years of experience managing full-scale residential renovations.
Holding a B.F.A. in Interior Architecture from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), she spent the early years of her career at a boutique design firm in Chicago, turning raw blueprints into bespoke, high-end homes.
