Our Story: A Design for Love (and Business)
Picture this: Two creative souls, orbiting each other for a decade, finally collide over a cup of coffee. That's us - Brandon and Britten. Little did we know that refinishing floors would lead to polishing our future together!
It all started when Britten bought a new home. Brandon, ever the gentleman (and secretly hoping to impress), offered to help with the floors. As we sanded and stained, we discovered more than just the natural grain of the wood - we uncovered a spark that had been waiting to ignite.
In a classic rom-com move, Brandon lent Britten his oscillating multi-tool (talk about smooth moves in the renovation world). Britten, perfectionist that she is, held onto it a tad too long, determined to get those corners just right. Brandon's clever solution? Invite her to dinner to "reclaim" his tool.
As we got to know each other, we realized we were both emerging from periods of personal transformation. Our individual journeys had equipped us with a toolbox of skills that, when combined, created a blueprint for a harmonious lifestyle.​
Fast forward to January 2024 - moving day! As we merged our lives and our stuff, we stumbled upon our superpower: the ability to blend styles, just like we were blending our lives. It turns out, our mutual passions for design, art, the human psyche, and transformation weren't just coincidence - they were the foundation for something bigger.
Suddenly, our childhood dreams of drawing and envisioning dream houses didn't seem so childish anymore. We realized we could use our skills to help others create their own sanctuaries - spaces where individuals and families could live, love, and thrive together.
And just like that, Harmonic Studios was born - a perfect harmony of our experiences, skills, and shared vision. We're here to help you turn your house into a home, blending styles, functionality, and a touch of magic. Because if we can create harmony in our home, we can help you find your perfect design rhythm too!​​
Meet Brandon
Lead Optimizer & Designer
Aho! I'm Brandon, a northern Michigan native now happily rooted in Ypsilanti since. While I've traded the northern skies for vibrant culture, my love for the outdoors remains steadfast. When I'm not designing spaces, you'll find me hiking local trails, conquering the DTE Foundation Trail on my bike, or embarking on backpacking adventures in far-flung corners of the world
.
My professional journey began with Electrical Engineering, but life had other plans, which put me on a path of tranformation, personal growth, and healing, cultivating some unconventional skills along the way. I became a licensed massage therapist, delved into various holistic healing practices, and danced my way to inner freedom.
​
Upon moving to Ypsilanti, I needed work and found myself at,the start of a new home remodeling company. For seven years, I wore more hats than I knew existed, mastering everything from swinging hammers to managing large-scale projects. This experience rekindled my childhood passion for design, propelling me into the world of 3D modeling and construction documentation - a true crash course in bringing ideas to life!
​
I'm also a self-proclaimed tech geek, always on the lookout for ways to streamline our design process or enhance our clients' homes with smart technology. When I'm not immersed in design software or crafting the perfect built-in, you might find me strumming my guitar, deep in meditation, or battling it out in my current favorite video game.
​
Life's a grand adventure, and I'm here to ensure your home serves as the perfect basecamp for all of yours. Let's create something extraordinary together!
"Working with Brandon and Britten was eye-opening. They didn't just redesign our house; they helped us create a home that truly fits our family. It's amazing how the right space can change your whole outlook. Our rooms now feel purposeful and inspiring, and we're actually living differently - more connected, more creative."

Meet Britten
Creative Director & Designer
Hello, I'm Britten. From the tranquil shores of Northern Lake Michigan to the cultural scene of Ypsilanti, my path through colorful forests and waterways shapes my perspective and enriches the environments I create.
​
My passion for design ignited early, building models with my mom during her architecture studies. This inspiration led me to earn dual degrees in Arts & Architecture and Environment & Behavior from the University of Michigan, equipping me to create spaces that are visually striking and nurturing to the soul.
​​
Throughout my career, I’ve embraced diverse roles in interior and graphic design, architectural freelancing, and community space building. My background as an athlete instilled the value of teamwork, while my experience in wellness deepened my focus on nourishing my clients’ well-being.
​​
I draw inspiration from the sensuality of nature, human connection, and moments of quiet reflection. Whether sea diving for design-inspiring stones or organizing complex builds, each experience informs my approach to creating living spaces.​
​​​
My daughters and I love to garden, infusing our space with "thyme"! This nature-inspired ethos carries into my designs, gathering elements of a client's story during our creative partnership to bring the layers of their narrative to life.​
​
When I'm not transforming spaces into personalized havens, you might find me sketching ideas, writing lyrics and playing banjo, experimenting in our kitchen laboratory, or enjoying a quiet cup of tea by the fire. And of course, rearranging our living room for impromptu dance parties & routines —savoring the ingenuity of modular, flexible spaces!​
I’m excited to bring creativity, expertise, and nurturing spirit to your project. Let’s craft a space that reflects your unique needs while evoking warmth and wellness.
