About Maggie
Maggie is the owner and lead designer for her residential design studio that opened its doors to the public in 2005 - a key year for Maggie - a year filled with much growth, vision, and hope.
In 2005 Maggie left her commercial office architecture job in exchange for beginning her own residential studio, married her childhood sweetheart, and became pregnant with their first child, Evan Alexander Shannon.
To Maggie, the year she started her own studio is symbolic and absolutely in tune with what she strives for - a wonderful and lasting relationship with her clients filled with birth, life, and growth.
In turn, she aims to create spaces that echo the positive needs and wants of her clients.

“The studio’s goal is to make our client’s life better through both fun & grounded design.”
Maggie Grew up right outside of Washington, D.C. in the planned town of Chevy Chase, Maryland. Both places were designed by phenomenal people: Washington DC by the French-born American Architect, Pierre Charles L'Enfant, and Chevy Chase by "The Father of American Landscape Architecture,” Frederick Law Olmsted.
She also spent her summers surrounded by the historic cedar shingled and salt air-worn homes of Cape Cod, and other family moments on Georgia's Cumberland Island- a gem of natural preservation, historic homes, and wild horses.
With such wonderful and beautiful places to grow up, her exposure to rich architecture and thoughtful design is inherent in her work and thus is a constant influence on how she designs.
