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.
Junior 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.
Junior Designer
Junior Designer and California native, Melissa, blends her traveled & sensible approach to all aspects of the design process to help bring your creative visions to life. Collaboration being a key stone to her success, she enjoys working hard with the team to turn each of your houses into homes. Melissa draws most of her design (and personal) inspiration from nature, architecture, people, and the connection between the three.
In her free time she continues to travel as often as possible – staying immersed in design & dedicated to curating and supporting local and global artists, creators, and innovators. When not working or traveling, you can find her somewhere outdoors, exploring.
