Hi, I’m Karen Davis – the woman behind Marker Girl!

Growing up in New Orleans, I developed my passion for creativity and interior design. More importantly, I discovered that a true feeling of “home” comes from the family that lives within it.

Shortly after marrying my husband, we were transferred to Paris, France. So I took that opportunity to study interior design in Paris. It was there I truly found my creative passion for interior design.

After moving back to Houston I started my own business and my family too, dreaming of white sofas made of velvet and silk drapery hanging on the wall. But one day when my daughter was a toddler, I had that “mommy feeling” that something was up because it was too quiet. I walked into my living room and found my daughter doing some decorating of her own – drawing with a black Sharpie on herself and on the furniture!

My daughter’s marker “art” was a defining moment. I reinvented my business to reflect a Marker Girl way of living. It birthed a passion for sourcing family-friendly furnishings that stand up to real life living. For 14 years I’ve helped families just like yours design a cohesive, durable home their whole family loves to live in.

“Make Your Mark” philosophy – I encourage each of my clients to express their own personal style in the design of their homes and celebrate a family-friendly way of living. There are so many great options out there that can allow children to be in a beautifully well-designed room. I’ll work with you to blend stylish furnishings and décor with functional fabrics and durable finishes, creating spaces that truly reflect your personality so you feel happy and at home.

Here’s my promise to you: I will find the best solutions for your family home that will stand up to real-life living.
