CASIE SCHAEFER | Owner + Principal Designer
Welcome to Schaefer Interiors! I’m thrilled to share a little bit about myself and the heart behind my work.
With over 11 years of professional experience in both residential and commercial interior design, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every project. I hold the prestigious NCIDQ and CID certifications, ensuring the highest standard of expertise and commitment to my clients. In 2020, I founded Schaefer Interiors in the vibrant heart of Orange County, California, offering a full range of in-person and virtual e-design services. Whether you’re just down the street or across the country, I’m here to help bring your vision to life.
My journey into interior design began with my roots in sunny California. Born and raised here, I attended UC San Diego, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Science. But my creative passion couldn’t be ignored, and I continued my education at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, earning a Professional A.A. degree in Interior Design.
Interior design runs in my family—I’m proud to follow in my mother’s footsteps as the owner of my own design company. Her belief in creating “timeless designs” profoundly shapes my approach. I strive to craft spaces that are not only beautiful but enduring, reflecting the unique personality and needs of each client.
As a self-proclaimed homebody, I deeply understand the importance of having a space that feels like a true sanctuary. A home should recharge and inspire you, providing the perfect backdrop for all aspects of your life. My designs focus on functionality and comfort while celebrating individuality—helping you create a home that’s not just a place to live, but a reflection of who you are.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me cherishing moments with my husband, Cameron, and our daughter, Amelia. These precious days of watching her grow remind me how important it is to create spaces where memories are made and life unfolds effortlessly.
Thank you for considering Schaefer Interiors for your design needs. It’s my joy and privilege to help you transform your space into something truly extraordinary.
