About the Author

Sophie von Oertzen is the founder of Sophie Williamson Design, known for its boldly layered designs, joyful use of color, and fearless mixing of styles. Her designs are defined by a layered aesthetic that balances boldness with beauty and that feel deeply personal, considered, and full of life. Drawing inspiration from travel, history, and nature, Sophie blends old and new to create spaces that feel collected rather than decorated. She believes that good design should never be too perfect but always show who you are as a person. Her work is a celebration of individuality, warmth, and the beauty of a home that tells your story.
