LAURA ELLIOTT, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER & OWNER
Laura Elliott is the founder and Principal of Refined Interiors, where she thrives on brainstorming with clients to reimagine their spaces in fresh, exciting ways. Known for her ability to seamlessly balance functionality with elevated design, Laura brings creativity and purpose to every project she embarks on.
Originally from Princeton, New Jersey, Laura has a soft spot for Fall leaves and warm summer nights. However, it was the natural beauty, family roots, and year-round pleasant weather of California that made her decide to call the West Coast home after moving here as a teenager.
Laura earned her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from the Art Institute of California, San Francisco, in 2009. With over 17 years of experience in the field, she approaches every challenge with confidence, knowing that there’s a solution to every design dilemma—and the potential to transform any space into a true masterpiece.
ANNA PATY, INTERIOR DESIGNER
Anna Paty is an interior designer at Refined Interiors, with a background in luxury residential design from Scottsdale, Arizona. Anna is known for her intuitive approach and reverence for storytelling through space. She collaborates closely with clients to transform their histories and lifestyles into interiors that feel intentional, layered, and deeply personal.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Interior Architecture from Arizona State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and completed a Certificate in Creative Writing alongside her degree. This dual foundation, technical and narrative, allows Anna to pair precision with creativity, seamlessly bridging concept and execution through fluency in CAD drafting and the latest industry software.
Her lifelong relationship with storytelling, once shaped by music, dance, theater, and the written word, has since found its most enduring form in the art of design, where stories are no longer told, but truly lived.
