Meet Our Design Team

Denise Taylor MA Allied ASID and Geneva Podolak Knox,

Denise studied Fashion Design and Marketing at the prestigious Central Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design. She loves scale, texture, color, fabrics, and hard surfaces and how they all play together. This creative vision and passion for fashion design is evident in her bespoke home interiors. She continued her education in design with a Master’s Degree in Interior Design from the University of Westminster School of Architecture.

“Our clients want a custom design that is one-of-a-kind and translates their unique taste and style. We design homes that tell of life well lived through, color, texture and design. Each of our projects are unique and not repeated. We love the experience of getting to know our clients, their families and pets, and how they like to use their home. Those relationships are so important in how shape the design of their home.” - Denise Taylor.

Geneva has a degree in Architecture from the University of Colorado with a focus on interiors. She grew up in the Aspen Valley and has over 12 years’ experience in Interior design. Prior to joining Aspen Design House, she worked with award winning architecture and interior design firms, as well as a design showroom where she has gained a wealth of furniture and fabric expertise.

Each of their backgrounds have proven to bring out a uniquely collaborative vision for the bespoke interior design company and realizing their client’s custom home.

From building a design narrative to designing fully custom home interiors from the ground up, as well as remodels and furnishings. Their creativity and technical knowledge help their clients navigate through the construction process to execute custom details and finish their project on time and within the clients’ budget.

  • “We cannot say enough positive things about the design team! Their effort transformed our home into a space we truly love and enjoy. Starting with a dated, disjointed house we ended up with a magnificent, open flowing home. They helped us with every aspect of our project from architectural elements to furniture placement and their vision shows through in the final project. Their attention to detail and quick response times made the entire process easy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend these talented ladies to anyone contemplating design or remodel services.”

  • “My wife and I have worked with several decorators over the years. Denise and Gigi have an incredible eye for color, style, and composition. Even more important, they took into account our input and contributions in places where it mattered and were able to take over areas we did not want to tackle.”

  • “We hired Gigi to help us update our home in Snowmass Village, with the goal of achieving a more "Mountain Contemporary" look. What originally started as a one room project, grew into doing the entire home because of the great work they initially did. Not only were we happy with the finished design and furnishings, but really enjoyed working with Gigi. She is a very talented designer and was responsive to our feedback, while sticking within the budget we proposed. We could not be happier!”

  • “It was a pleasure working with Denise. She recognized our needs to have comfortable and durable furnishings appropriate for our large family.”

  • “We recently purchased a home in Aspen and, although our new home has great bones, it was in need of major updates. In the past, we have had unpleasant experiences with designers and this generated concern about what we might end up with. But we absolutely love the end results of this project. Denise and her team truly exceeded our expectations. Equally as important to us is the great reviews we get from our guests.

    On a sidenote, sometimes you might wonder what the payback would be by updating your home. Shortly after beginning the design process, we listed our home because I wanted a larger space. Based upon the money we spent renovating, the return was nearly fourfold in added value to our home! We love our home so much we took it off the market! Not a bad return in value.”

  • “She asked the right questions and listened carefully to our answers. The outcome was fabulous, and we have had many, many compliments from friends and family on our home. Denise is clear, honest, kind, and dependable.”

  • “The design team did a great job! They worked with my client on their vacation home refurnishing the living space. They completed the project within budget and met the holiday deadline. My client was so thrilled with the new design that they have moved onto redesigning their outdoor entertaining spaces.”

  • “We’ve had the pleasure of seeing many of Denise’s design projects up close, having photographed them for editorial publications. The contemporary design aesthetic and attention to detail, on behalf of her clients, is always extremely impressive.”

  • “Denise helped me recreate the interior of my home to reflect my personality. The team worked with my existing pieces, where possible, and helped me find new pieces to make more of a statement. She quickly understood the look that I wanted to achieve and presented ideas that reflected and refined my aesthetic. They were conscious of my budget and worked within it. The end result is a house that I am happy to come home to.”
