Hi, Welcome to Donna Chivers Design.

At Donna Chivers Design, every project begins with a thoughtful conversation—one rooted in curiosity and a deep understanding of how you live and what inspires you. It is a privilege to be entrusted with your vision, and I approach each project with intention, care, and respect.

My process is highly tailored and collaborative, designed around your unique needs. I guide each phase with clarity and ease and my goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience—one where you feel confident, supported, and excited as your project takes shape.

My background—shaped by living across diverse places, a career in Silicon Valley, and advanced business training—brings a disciplined, strategic approach to design. After designing my own home, I pursued architectural training and hands-on construction experience, grounding my work in creativity, preparation and execution.

For me, architectural design is not simply a profession—it is the foundation for creating remodeled spaces that bring joy, beauty, and a sense of calm. My goal is to change spaces - home interiors, outdoor living, and more - that echo my clients’ lifestyles so their home becomes a place to truly enjoy and thrive.
