Principal Designer & General Contractor
Background
Mae Reedy is the founder of Mae Reedy Design + Build, a Dallas-based studio known for delivering both design vision and construction precision. With a background in art and a path that began in textiles and handmade goods, Mae transitioned into the world of interiors through hands-on collaboration and mentorship. After earning her contractor’s license during a pivotal moment of need in her local community, she built a business that merges creativity, structure, and long-term client care.
Approach
Mae leads with process. Her studio is known for its clarity, consistency, and structured project management, which allows clients to feel supported and confident from start to finish. Through a series of well-planned meetings and visual presentations, she creates a roadmap that enables creative freedom while reducing friction.
Her aesthetic is transitional and thoughtful, often blending warm neutrals, organic materials, and architectural harmony. She designs for longevity and emotional connection, believing that a space should support the way people live now and evolve with them over time.
Beyond Design
Mae is a lifelong learner, a nature lover, and a passionate advocate for women in the industry. She draws inspiration from patterns in nature and music that explores emotional depth, especially the work of Thom Yorke. Her ability to stay creatively grounded while leading technically demanding projects sets her apart.
She also mentors her team in time management, leadership, and scheduling strategy. For Mae, investing in people is just as important as investing in materials. She brings that same care to her relationships with vendors, trades, and clients, building a network rooted in gratitude, consistency, and mutual respect.
