Hi, I’m Karen Davis, the Houston-based Interior Designer Behind Marker Girl.

People ask me all of the time, “Why Marker Girl?”

When my daughter took a permanent marker to our furniture, I thought, “How can I have the home I desire with young children?” I was beyond frustrated and knew there had to be another way! No longer would stress rule my house.

It then became my mission to celebrate a family-friendly way of living, allowing my clients to express their personal style in the design of their homes without compromising the beautiful details they desired.

I’d love to help you have a home that is fresh, functional and suits your family's lifestyle.

“Karen helped us design a beautiful, family-friendly home we absolutely love.

She worked with our chaotic personal schedules for meetings and her enthusiasm made the process a joy. Karen was able to marry our modern style with durable furnishings that will stand up to our family."
