INTERIOR DESIGN
Remodel & New Build
Construction Planning
We elevate where life happens.
Your home is where life happens. First birthdays, anniversaries, shared looks of love and laughter, and cookouts that will become legendary tales. These moments are enhanced when your space is designed with you in mind. Spaces that are functional, purpose-driven, inviting, meaningful, and fun. Spaces that transform your life.
“Amy and Sanja made something really special for us… This new home feels like a totally safe beautiful space for me. I am so excited to nest.”
Bridging the Gap Between Architecture & Interior Design
We’ve been doing this awhile, we know things get lost in the divide between interior design and architecture. We’ve bridged that to ensure your renovation or residential construction project stays seamless from start to finish.
We don’t just envision the final space; we consider how you will live in it. And during the process, we make home renovation easy, seamless, and even fun.
- Whether you’re a remodeling empty nester.
- Designing and building a custom home.
- Or renovating to make your space work better.
With decades of experience in all things design and construction, we are by your side from planning to completion. We anticipate obstacles – and there’s always an obstacle in construction – and we resolve them swiftly.
We are always 5 steps ahead, and always your advocate.
- Advocate for smart, streamlined construction planning — from defining scope and budgeting to scheduling and permitting.
- Advocate for seamless coordination — so the build stays aligned and supports the design vision.
- Advocate for the space you and your family will occupy.
- Advocate for your future and how you grow into the space.
Every detail is thoughtfully considered, with the end goal of enhancing how you live and interact with your space, ensuring it grows with you over time.
Transforming Your Home Through Design & Construction Planning
Artala is a team of interior designers and construction planners founded by Amy May — and yes, we think renovations are fun! We approach every project holistically, considering your lifestyle, your goals, and the full potential of your space — even when others might say it isn’t possible.
Designing your ideal space is a collaborative process. We talk, we laugh, and we plan together. Your needs, your style, and your story shape every decision.
When you work with Artala, you work directly with us — Amy & Sanja. We’re a two-person team that handles everything from space planning and finish selections to construction coordination.
Our planning process includes defining the project scope, aligning timelines and budgets, coordinating with trusted teams, and ensuring every decision supports the overall vision.
We thrive on challenges — because that’s where the magic happens — and we’re always in your corner.
“Amy and Sanja were wonderful! They guided us through an extensive remodel of our home of 17 years. With their talent and experience, we ended up with our dream house. They did all the design for adding dormers to our bedrooms and a full redesign of our kitchen and all bathrooms. We appreciated how they listened to us and helped us keep within our budget. We have recommended them to friends and family and would definitely use them again.”

Interior Design That Feels Deeply Personal — Because It Is
Creating a home you love isn’t about following trends — it’s about uncovering what feels true to you. At Artala, we offer full-service interior design and construction planning, blending thoughtful design, functional flow, and skilled craftsmanship to shape spaces that are as beautiful as they are personal.
Founder Amy May brings over two decades of experience in interior design and construction-focused project planning — but what sets her work apart happens long before the drawings begin. She listens. She guides. She helps you see your vision more clearly — then brings it to life with care, creativity, and deep expertise.
Designer Sanja brings a fresh, fashion-forward perspective and a love of craftsmanship to every project. With an eye for detail and a passion for layered, personal spaces, she draws inspiration from both interiors and fashion — mixing textures, playing with contrast, and sourcing pieces that feel collected and soulful. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and always grounded in the belief that your home should reflect your story.
Because the art of living well starts with a home that feels unmistakably yours.
