About Us
Founded in 2005, Coddington Design is a full-service interior design firm with headquarters in the Bay Area and clients nationwide. With a passion for individuality, our designers always prioritize your vision over ours. No egos here!
We’re just as at-home delivering $10M+ turnkey properties as we are partnering with industrious homeowners who want hourly support. This is luxury interior design, your way.
Founder & CEO
I’m Melanie and, like you, I’m a self-made leader determined to create my own path. After years at a traditional design firm, I founded Coddington Design in 2005 with a vision for something different: ego-free designers, clients as partners in co-creation, and homes that were equal parts luxurious and life-proof.
Since then, I have built a multi-million dollar design firm, assembled a world-class team, received national recognition, and created magazine-worthy homes that reflect our clients’ personalities, style, and lifestyles. I’m proudest of that last one.
When I’m not leading the kickass Coddington team, you can find me spending time with my wife and son, renovating our mid-century modern home, and being a fierce ally to trans, queer, and BIPOC communities.
Creative Director
I’m Dana, Creative Director, interior designer, and San Francisco native. You’ll find me leading your project with a razor-sharp, bird’s eye view. My superpower is listening to your needs, collaborating with our design team, and helping translate your big ideas into a luxurious, personalized home that supports messy real life…
…and I know all about the mess! With two kids and multiple pets at home, I’ve been there. I can tell you from experience that functional, high-end design will bring ease, peace of mind, and happiness into your daily life. Yes, you can have nice things. Let’s pick the right ones.
Lead Designer
I’m Lexy, Lead Designer, Las Vegas native, and lover of design and architecture. You’ll find me working alongside Dana and Lisa to define the details of your creative vision with design concepts, product sourcing, custom furniture design, project management, and more.
In my free time, you’ll find me chasing stunning architecture across the globe (Florence is a favorite!), exploring my new hometown (San Diego) with my husband, or lacing up my shoes for a run in the sun.
Associate Designer
I’m Lisa, Associate Designer, Bay Area local, and music enthusiast. Like Lexy, you’ll find me diving into the details that bring your creative vision, passions, and interests to life in your home. My particular zone of genius lies in creating floor plans, renderings (that help you visualize the design), and other key technical documents.
When I’m not working, you can find me immersed in live music of all kinds – the San Francisco Symphony, a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater, or a cover band at my favorite local cafes.
