INTERIOR DESIGNER

“I love what I do because my career allows me to use my artistic ability, while also applying my learned technical skill set. Because every project is so different and I am given new design challenges repeatedly, I am constantly learning and building upon this knowledge. I value the variety in which my job brings. And along the way, I have the privilege to work side by side with many other talented and hard-working individuals!”

Christie Stewart

CO-FOUNDER & INTERIOR DESIGNER

Christie Stewart is a co-founder of Studio JC and brings over a decade of interior design experience to the firm. Known for her intuitive design perspective and refined eye for detail, Christie creates spaces that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

A graduate of East Carolina University with a degree in Interior Design, Christie has spent her career helping clients transform their homes into environments that promote comfort, beauty, and a true sense of retreat. She believes a well-designed home should function as a haven — supporting everyday living while inspiring a feeling of ease and joy.

Respected for her ability to envision what a space can become, Christie approaches each project with creativity, insight, and thoughtful intention. Her calm guidance and design expertise help clients feel confident throughout the process, resulting in homes that are as livable as they are timeless.

Outside the studio, Christie enjoys life in the charming town of Stem with her husband, Charles, and their two dogs, Kip and Axl. When she isn’t designing, she can often be found spending time on the lake with family or painting landscapes — creative outlets that continually inspire her work.

“I truly enjoy taking a raw space and creating a beautiful and unique room. I love how all the architectural details, finishes, and fixtures within a home give each space true character and feeling. I also enjoy doing things for other people; seeing the final reveal with a client is truly a joy! Knowing that we did something great for our client that will influence and make them happy for years to come is an incredible feeling. ”
