My Story

Hello! I’m Wendy Phillips, founder and principal designer of Wendy Phillips Design (WPD), a full-service residential interior design studio based in Poulsbo, Washington.

My passion is creating homes that are both beautiful and deeply personal. While I have always known design was my superpower, it took me 40 years to pursue it professionally. After earning a degree in Psychology from the University of Puget Sound, I returned to school in 2014 to complete coursework in Architecture and Technical Design and launched WPD in 2016.

Today, I specialize in custom homes, major renovations, and thoughtfully curated interiors. My services include space planning, interior architecture, kitchen and bath design, material and finish selections, construction drawings and specifications, 3D renderings, project coordination, and furnishings. Whether you are remodeling an existing home or building from the ground up, I guide clients through every phase of the design process.

In addition to designing homes professionally, I have personally built two homes and am currently developing The Daisy, a dedicated design studio and showroom opening Fall 2026. These experiences give me a unique understanding of the investment, decision-making process, and trust required to bring a project to life.

As a lifelong Washingtonian, I draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the way our homes support connection, comfort, and everyday living. I live in Poulsbo with my husband, our yellow lab, Daisy, and a flock of hens. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me gardening, exploring local trails, spending time with our daughters, or planning my next travel adventure.

I am an active member of the Northwest Society of Interior Designers (NWSID) and the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), and have proudly served three terms on the NWSID Board since 2019.

If you’re considering a custom home, renovation, or interior design project, I invite you to complete the Project Inquiry Form found on our website and share a little about your design needs and goals. It’s the first step in my design process and helps me learn more about your project.

Thank you for considering WPD. I would be honored to help bring your vision to life and create a home that is timeless and uniquely your own.
