Born and raised in North Carolina, Kendall has built her career in marketing within the worlds of real estate, design, and custom home building. Her experience across these industries has given her a unique perspective on storytelling, branding, and the thoughtful details that make a home and a brand feel distinctive.
Today, she brings that blend of creativity and strategy to Anna Elizabeth Interiors, helping tell the story behind the firm’s projects, process, and point of view through intentional content and brand development.
Outside of the studio, Kendall enjoys spending time with friends and family, discovering new restaurants around Raleigh, traveling, and finding inspiration in the places and spaces around her.
Raised in Greensboro, North Carolina, Summer has always been inspired by the way thoughtful design can transform a space. She earned her bachelor's degree from NC State and is continuing to build on that foundation by pursuing an additional bachelor's degree in Interior Design at Meredith College.
She is also on track to earn her NCIDQ certification, further strengthening her expertise and commitment to the profession. With a love for fabrics, furnishings, and all the finishing details, Summer enjoys bringing personality and warmth to every project through thoughtful soft goods and material selections.
When she's not dreaming up new design concepts, you'll likely find her vintage shopping, taking on DIY projects around her home, or spending time with her beloved cat.
Born and raised in Greenville, North Carolina, Anna Elizabeth, the founder and principal designer, began her career in the fashion industry. Her passion for design quickly transitioned into the world of luxury residential after DIYing her coastal California condo.
Anna has seamlessly woven global influences from her travel experiences into her design style, creating spaces that feel both inspired and deeply personal. From an early age, her mother instilled in her the importance of building a “nest”—a sanctuary that offers comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging. This philosophy remains at the heart of Anna’s approach, guiding her as she crafts thoughtfully curated homes that reflect each client’s unique story and provide a place they can always return to.
After a decade in California, Anna returned to her North Carolina roots, bringing with her a wealth of inspiration and a passion for creating beautiful spaces. It was here that she founded Anna Elizabeth Interiors, a design firm now proudly based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Growing up in Raleigh's Beltline, Courtney knows the city inside and out. From historic neighborhoods to new construction, her familiarity with the area's architecture and character gives her a unique perspective on every project. She graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Construction Management, making her the perfect person to lead our construction-heavy projects.
With an extensive industry background, she's our go-to for hard finishes, guiding clients through everything from tile selections to job site walkthroughs and ensuring every detail comes together seamlessly from concept to construction.
When she’s not on a job site, Courtney enjoys curling up with a stack of books alongside her two English bulldogs, Millie and Pearl, or trying out Raleigh's local restaurants.
