Lisa was born in Massachusetts, and has lived in Maine for over 18 years. She has her degree in Fashion from Endicott College and The University of Massachusetts. She also studied Interior Design at New England School of Art & Design and Harvard University.
She has worked in Interior Design for the past 22 years. Lisa began her career at the Boston Design Center and has worked as a product designer for LL Bean, Angela Adams and The Foreside Company.
Lisa draws her inspiration from practicality and the natural beauty found in Maine. As a Mom of three she can appreciate the use of good design, that is functional, practical and beautiful. Lisa likes to create environments that look as though they have evolved over time, bringing in pieces that have meaning, and blending the old with the new.
Nothing makes Alice happier than to be creating beautiful draperies, luxurious bedding or sumptuous wall upholstery. From simple sheers to thickly interlined English draperies, attention to detail and fine hand sewing are the hallmarks of Alice’s work.
With multi-generational roots in the Kennebunk area, Alice is delighted to be back in her native Maine. Her time away included training in England with Merrick and Day and with Lady Caroline Wrey. She also headed a designer’s workroom in Louisville, KY, where she lived while raising her family. Alice has done residential work with clients all over the country and has also enjoyed her commercial work with several inns, restaurants and colleges.
Alice brings a high standard of quality and a quest for perfection to her workroom by the sea.

Her years as a fashion editor and director allowed her to travel extensively throughout the world. The experience of working with many of the world's foremost photographers, designers and artists, has helped her to focus her eye on the beauty and detail that surrounds her life.
Deborah spent her childhood summers in Kennebunkport and in 2005 made the family summer home her full time residence. She was raised in Washington, DC and graduated from Auburn University with a BA in Interior Design from the School of Architecture.
When she moved to Philadelphia in 1987, she started Bauman Design Associates, designing renovations and additions to the old homes in the area.
She enjoys the challenge of working with an existing home and helping the owners make changes that preserve its character and work for the way we live today. She can take a project from preliminary space planning through construction drawings and oversee the final construction project.
Deborah's move to Maine is fulfilling a lifelong dream to live and work in this beautiful place.
