Hi, I’m Savanna, aka Vanna. Yes, like Vanna White. I help people turn ideas into homes that feel thoughtful, personal, and truly lived in- by blending creativity, education, and a deep love of how spaces are built.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been obsessed with everything houses: from interior design and architecture to learning how things actually come together. While most kids were playing with blocks and Legos, I was spending hours designing homes in my sketchbook. I’d lose hours on the Sherwin-Williams paint selector, experimenting with how light affects color in a room. And every Sunday, my favorite show was… MOVE. THAT. BUS. Yep, you guessed it, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I was that 10-year-old, completely hooked. Can you imagine my excitement when I found out Schell worked on a project with Ty Pennington?!
That lifelong passion turned into a career rooted in the arts. I attended Governor’s School for the Arts in high school and later studied at VCU Arts. Over the years, I’ve worked as both an art teacher and a production manager, roles that shaped how I listen, plan, and guide people through creative decisions. Today, much like my time in the classroom, I’m here to educate, collaborate, and discover what home means to you. Together, we’ll take your ideas and paint a picture that feels intentional, inspired, and uniquely yours.
And if you’re wondering what I’m doing when I’m not at work, you can usually find me spending time with friends, family, or my fur babies. I’m either reading, creating art, flipping furniture, soaking up time outdoors, or checking another travel destination off my bucket list… usually with a creative project (or paint sample) not too far behind.
