A studio devoted to considered living
The Austin-based studio of designer Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey, creating deeply personal, story-driven luxury residences across the country.
The client's life is always our north star
Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey is a designer, tastemaker and storyteller with more than 25 years of experience creating homes centered entirely around the people who live in them. Rooted in the Southwest and trained at the University of Texas, the Culinary Institute of America and Parsons School of Design, she brings an uncommon fluency in art, food, architecture and living to every project.
Being Southern, Shazalynn loves a good story — and she treats storytelling as an art form, weaving each client's history and passions into their rooms. The studio listens first and designs second, believing a centered home is the foundation for a rewarding life.

Personal by design, from first listen to final layer
Every SCW interior begins with your story — then becomes a fully realized home that is collected, layered and unmistakably yours.
We listen first
The client's life is our north star. We learn your history and passions before a single fabric is chosen.
Story woven throughout
Being Southern, we love a good story — and we impart yours into every room, from art to millwork.
Collected, not decorated
Layered color, pattern and antiques create rooms that feel gathered over a lifetime, never staged.
Full-service, coast to coast
From Austin to the Eastern Shore, we manage design, sourcing and installation end to end.
From your story to a home fully realized
A thoughtful, personal process — as much about understanding you as it is about the design itself.
