Hallie Dumont
Chief Design Officer
Hallie is a designer who loves to create efficient and honest, user-centered spaces. She discovered her passion for residential interiors after spending years working hands on in home remodeling. The experience opened her eyes to the often unhealthy relationship between clients and their homes. These concerns led Hallie to conduct research on alternative and prefabricated housing while completing her Master’s Degree in Interior Architecture at Chatham University. After completing her degree, Hallie designed a tiny house called Nanohouse under award winning Architect Eric Fisher. Hallie was born and raised in Pittsburgh and has an undergraduate degree in design from Carnegie Mellon University. Her hobbies include spending time with her pups, mountain biking, and Olympic weight lifting.
