Introducing our next cowgirl of our cowgirl series Hayley Chavez. An interior designer, mother, and creative rooted in California, Hayley is drawn to the quiet, in-between moments— slow mornings, foraged branches, the sound of hooves on dirt, and spaces that invite you to breathe.

About Hannah:

From an early age, Hayley Chavez was immersed in the world of design. As the daughter of an architectural designer, she spent her childhood walking job sites, absorbing the intricacies of craftsmanship, and developing a deep appreciation for the details that turn a house into a home.

Her career began in construction, where she honed invaluable skills—mastering project management, budgeting, procurement, and team leadership. But her true passion always lay in the artistry of interior design. After years of working behind the scenes in the building industry, she took a leap of faith, channeling her expertise into transforming spaces with both beauty and function. In 2020, Her interior design studio, HLC Studio, was born.

When she’s not designing, Hayley finds inspiration in California’s landscapes, horseback riding, wine country escapes, time with her family, and travels to the Pacific Northwest and East Coast—each experience enriching her love for curated, lived-in luxury.
