You’ve been waiting long enough to love where you live.
You know what you want.
A space that feels intentional, collected, and calm.
A home that looks like you on your best day and makes you feel it the moment you walk in.
You want friends to walk in and say wow.
You want every corner to feel thought through, every piece to feel like it belongs, and the whole thing to feel like you without having spent a fortune getting there.
You want to stop feeling like you're just passing through and start feeling like you actually live there.
You want a home, not just a place to sleep.
And you want to wake up every day and love where you are.
That’s where I come in.
I'm Lindsay, and helping people feel at home is something I take personally.
My background in Graphic Design & Marketing gave me a strong foundation in visual storytelling, composition, and detail.
But it was my time working at Humble Design in San Diego that gave me something no classroom ever could.
Finally Home exists to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
I work with renters in small spaces to create homes that feel intentional, personal, and truly welcoming at a price point that makes sense. The transformation isn't just visual. It's the feeling you get when you walk in and realize you don't want to leave.
I didn’t always know I wanted to do this. But looking back, all the signs were there.
I spent over 15 years in Graphic Design & Marketing, work that I loved and was good at. But somewhere along the way I started to feel like something was missing. I wanted to work with my hands. I wanted to see the impact of my work in real time, in a real space, on a real person's face.
That shift happened in San Diego, where I began working at Humble Design, a nonprofit that furnishes and styles homes for families transitioning out of homelessness. I walked into that work not knowing how much it would change me. Watching someone step into a space that had been thoughtfully designed just for them, seeing their face shift from disbelief to relief to joy, that was the moment everything clicked.
I realized that a well-styled space isn't a luxury. It's a foundation. It affects how you sleep, how you feel when you wake up, how you show up in the world. And I knew I wanted to keep creating that feeling for people.
Before I ever landed in Chicago, I had already started seeing the gap. Renters in small spaces, doing their best with what they had, with nowhere to turn for design help that actually felt accessible. Chicago felt like exactly the right place to build something around that.
Finally Home was my answer to that gap. A service built specifically for renters, for small spaces, at a price point that makes sense, for people who are ready to finally feel at home.
This is personal for me. Every space I work on gets my full attention, my honest opinion, and my genuine care. Because I know what it feels like to walk into a home that finally feels right. And I want that for you.
Fun facts about me
-
Ceramics, watercolor, charcoal, photography, resin, woodworking — if there's a medium, I've probably tried it. Creating with my hands is one of my greatest joys and honestly one of the reasons I was drawn to design work in the first place.
-
There is something about a clean, well-arranged kitchen pantry that makes my heart sing. I can't fully explain it. I just know that an organized space feels like a deep breath, and I want that feeling for every room I touch.
-
I am a firm believer that every home needs something living in it. Whether it's a fiddle leaf fig in the corner or fresh flowers on the table, nature has a way of making a space feel warm, alive, and complete.
-
I have seen them live over 20 times and I have the tattoo to prove it. Their music does something to me I can't quite put into words. IYKYK.
-
New cities, new restaurants, new perspectives. Marcel Proust said it best: "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." That philosophy shapes the way I travel and honestly the way I design.

Cars have always had my heart. Between the movies and a crew of friends who actually worked on them, I developed a genuine appreciation for design, mechanics, and the culture around it. Don't be surprised if I geek out a little.
