Ivy grew up in Birmingham and has always had a desire to pursue a creative field. As a child she enjoyed all of the arts and as she grew up she got the best of her both her parents, her mother’s artistic nature and her father’s business sense. After graduating from The University of Tennessee with a major in interior design and a minor in business she spent some time travelling before deciding to settle back down in Birmingham. She started out working in an architectural firm and gained valuable experience in understanding how the different disciplines of a design team come together to make a project come to life. She had always known of Hatcher Design and desired a position there and when one opened up in 2006 she joined the team as a Registered Interior Designer. Rebecca Hatcher is a wonderful mentor and friend that exemplified the practice of interior design. After ten years of training under her, Rebecca approached Ivy with the opportunity to buy the business and to take on the role as President. Ivy is honored to continue the legacy that Rebecca crafted of good design, smart business and excellent service. Ivy lives in Birmingham with her husband, Josef, and their two girls, Julia and Milly. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, yoga and painting.
