Derrick Davis
Senior Designer
Derrick Davis has been working at Harte Brownlee since 2016. He previously worked as a CPA at a financial services firm and in sales and marketing at a medical device company. He decided to shift his career course to interior design after designing his own apartment and earning praise from friends and family who later asked for his help with their homes. That experience and his travels through Europe discovering the rich history of architecture and furniture design led to the realization of his passion for interior design. Derrick has worked on a variety of projects, from a contemporary Hollywood Hills home to formal residences with European influences. He enjoys meeting with clients and transforming their visions into the home of their dreams.
