Aryn's Top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Futuristic, Activator, Communication, Arranger & Woo
Aryn is a proud native Houstonian with a love for interiors and all things design. After graduating from Baylor University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in General Family and Consumer Science, she worked for nearly 13 years as a health and safety professional for a large electric power and gas pipeline company.
In 2015, she and her husband found a lot on Oyster Creek near Houston that immediately captured their hearts. God had a big plan for them on Oyster Creek and they were excited about this next chapter He had in store for them. Soon after they purchased the lot, they started the design process of building their first custom home from the ground up.
During this process, she truly discovered a passion for interior design and an appreciation for architecture, custom trim work and cabinetry, trade lighting, and interior furnishings. She started documenting our building process on social media and before long, friends and friends of friends, and neighbors began to ask her for design help.
In the spring of 2019, she retired from “corporate America” and became a stay-at-home mom for about a month. Clearly that did not last long, and she decided to work full-time as lead designer and owner for Oyster Creek Studios.
