Overview

The Story Behind Saskia Snyder Designs Saskia Snyder Designs began as a reflection of my independence, creativity, and love for beauty. I’ve always been a lone wolf, carving my own path, and naming my business after myself felt like the simplest and most authentic choice. Over time, I’ve realized that at the heart of it all, I started this business because I love beautiful things—not just the things themselves, but the stories behind them. I love the process of shopping for, curating, and assembling pieces into something that feels meaningful. Design, for me, is about creating homes filled with memories, not sterile showrooms. My own home is a testament to that philosophy—a collection of art, furnishings, and treasures gathered over time from travels and life experiences. The journey toward interior design wasn’t always a straight line. Growing up, I always felt drawn to design but lacked the confidence to ask people to trust me with their spaces. It wasn’t until I took my first architecture class that I was hooked. I loved the creative process, though I quickly discovered that interior design—not architecture—was where my skills could truly shine. A turning point came when my husband, who runs a large property management company, began asking for my input on his properties. Then, one of his colleagues asked me to help with his spaces, and the rest is history. Today, my style is rooted in timeless elegance. I call myself a modern traditionalist at heart, drawn to classic elements like natural wood, stone, carved details, and age-old craftsmanship. I love creating spaces that are welcoming and livable, and I always design as though I were going to live in the space myself. I ask questions like: How would I use this space? What do I want to see when I walk in? How do I want this space to make me feel? Our homes are our havens from the chaos of the outside world—places for solace and celebration. The clients I love working with most are friendly, open-minded, and honest. They’re people who have tried to create their spaces on their own but have realized they need help—and value the time they’ll save by partnering with a designer. I want my clients to trust me with their vision and to feel comfortable navigating the inevitable "ugly" stage before the beauty of the final result emerges. My favorite part of the process is seeing the plan come together: the hours spent curating just the right pieces, the excitement of presenting the vision to the client, and, ultimately, the joy of creating a space that feels uniquely theirs. As a California Real Estate Broker, I bring a practical perspective to design. I understand the economics of where to invest in a home—whether it’s a space that reflects your personal taste for long-term living or a feature that enhances resale value. Homes are meant to be lived in, loved, and eventually passed on, and I firmly believe in designing for the present while respecting the bones of the home for the future. A Love of Travel Travel is my second love, and it has shaped every aspect of my creative process. Growing up in a small town, I would pore over National Geographic , Life , and home magazines, dreaming of the places I saw in those pages. When I finally began traveling, I realized that no picture could ever do justice to experiencing a place in person. Walking through a thousand-year-old cathedral, wandering the ancient streets of Greece and Rome, stumbling across a forgotten colosseum in the Turkish mountains, or marveling at the intricate carvings of Alhambra—all of these moments have left an indelible mark on my soul. Two destinations stand out to me as particularly transformative. The Alhambra in Granada, Spain, was like nothing I’d ever seen—its stone carvings so delicate they felt like lace, weightless and impossibly intricate. I could spend hours there, completely immersed in its beauty. Similarly, Vézelay Cathedral in France took my breath away, with its Romanesque heaviness giving way to Gothic lightness and soaring stained-glass windows. It’s a holy, sacred place where time feels suspended. When I travel, I collect memories in the form of tangible pieces: lace from Belgium, pottery from Greece and Spain, rugs from Turkey, antiques from European street markets, and even wool from Ireland. I follow a “shoebox rule” for luggage—if it fits, it comes home; if it doesn’t, I ask myself if I love it enough to ship it. Each piece in my home tells a story of where I’ve been, and they continue to inspire my work. As for my travel bucket list, I dream of visiting all 50 states and exploring places steeped in American history and natural wonders. Internationally, Chile holds a special place in my heart—it’s breathtakingly beautiful, though admittedly at the bottom of the world. Iceland, Greenland, and the Nordic countries are also on my list, though I’d need summer months to escape the cold. While I’ve lost interest in some destinations like Asia and Africa for ...
