Meet Cheryl

Poobah, Rainmaker, and Creative Chief

Owner, Creative Chief and saucy critic of the status quo, Cheryl Kees Clendenon, DGD (if you don’t know what this stands for, call us!), has been influencing the design industry with out of the bread box, no way in hell, ok maybe will consider that, wow what a great idea– transformative ideas—for 22 years.
 
Full-time folks. No time off for good behavior. Never seemed to want it either.
Cheryl’s outspoken irreverence leads to confident and innovative solutions to the most challenging design parameters with a fearless exploration of all channels to solve problems and create unique interiors that reflect the client, not the design of the day.
 
Cheryl is a business strategy advisor, mentor, cheerleader for small business creatives, savvy shopkeeper, and writer with an interior design day job that keeps her busy. Somehow, she still finds time to be a mom to a menagerie of three in the animal kingdom and a wife to Randy.

Meet Liz

VP of Everything and the
“Get it Done” Work Wife

Clients ranging from San Diego to the Jersey shore and all along the Gulf Coast have embraced Liz Lapan, the woman behind the woman who gets “it” done. An accomplished designer in her own right with a fantastic sense of color & pattern, Liz can wear the designer hat in the morning and the project manager hat at noon and return to the office, being the ultimate manager of all things. You have never met a woman like Liz-o-matic! Clients love her, subs respect her, and the team adores her.
 
If you are ready to embrace trusting the process, Liz might bake you a blueberry buckle thingy (she is from New Hampshire—we call it a cobbler here in the South, but it is tasty—whatever a Yankee might call it!)

Meet Libby

Lead Designer • VP Trade Program • Candle Studio Director

Libby is a lead designer and wiz at delivering the creative vision to our clients in our presentations through 3D rendering. She has a hand in the design of all of our projects, has a great design eye, and brings a unique perspective to the team – the apple didn’t fall far from the tree from our owner Cheryl, who happens to be her mother!

Libby lives with her husband Jake and dog people Goose and Birdie. 

Meet Miranda

OFFICE MANAGER • DESIGN TRADE PROGRAM ASSISTANT

 
Miranda is the person who keeps us all on our toes running the office and managing details from project management to client hospitality, there is not one area she does not touch! 
 

She was born and raised  in Pensacola. Being the daughter of a captain and fisherman, most of her life has been spent in, on, or around the water. She enjoys all things outdoors, whether it be gardening, camping, going to the beach, or taking her two dogs for an afternoon stroll around downtown. Miranda and her husband just started a small plant nursery business that we look forward to growing in time. When she is not at work or in the garden, you can find her in her studio painting, on the couch with some ice cream, or out catching some local live music!

Meet Gabrielle

Retail Design Director • Special Events  • Marketing 

Gabrielle was born and raised along the Gulf Coast of Florida. She grew up going to job sites with her dad and jamming to Pink Floyd in his truck between stops.

Despite having bounced around a bit career wise (whew – she is glad to be retired from teaching!), she has always been at home in the construction industry. 

She finds joy in bringing people together, whether it is around the dinner table with a home cooked meal or by planning parties for any and all occasions. When she is not working as the Retail Design Director & Events Coordinator at In Detail, Gabrielle enjoys visiting local restaurants, biking downtown with her four-year-old chocolate lab named Cali and playing tennis or pickle ball with friends. Seriously, they have a weekly tournament – bracket and all! 

Meet Stephanie

Director of Damn Good Designer

Stephanie found In Detail on a drive through town when she first moved to Pensacola 12 years ago and it ended up being her first full time Interior Design job out of college.
 
She worked in person with In Detail for almost two years until she started having kids and has since moved across the country twice and currently resides in North Carolina (for now!) with her Marine husband and three children.
 
For the past 4 years she has been working remotely in various roles utilizing her classically trained design skills to more recently heading the business coaching department. 
 
Stephanie loves a good system and thrives on organization. Creativity is in her core and it is apparent in all that she contributes to our team.
