Meet Whitney

Founder + Lead Designer

With a diverse background of professional and personal experience including events management, bridal styling, commercial property management, and having traveled much of the world, I am proud to bring a unique perspective to my client's bespoke designs and experience at Oliver James Interiors.

My design aesthetic continues to evolve and ranges from whimsical, bright colors and patterns to classic designs rooted in tradition yet feel fresh, inviting and soulful. However, no matter the outcome, the design always feels timeless, inspiring, and reflective of the client's personality and lifestyle. We help bring all our clients' dreams to life whether it be a whole home new build, remodel, bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen remodel in the Boston area or anywhere in the United States. Our clients not only enjoy the process but are amazed by the transformations our experience provides.

A Few Fun Facts About Me

  • My husband and I met within a month of freshman year of college in 2007 and that was the start and end of my college dating experience.

  • I reside in Metrowest Boston, MA with my husband Jon, son Theo, and my daughter Willow. We are stewards of an 1814 federal style farmhouse with rich history which we are currently in the process of putting our own touches on while still celebrating all of the original details. Our dream is to further enhance our two acres of land by bringing the forgotten sunken garden back to life, build a potager garden with a beautiful garden shed, and continue adding to our english country-inspired garden beds.

  • My other passion is traveling the world which I attribute to my unique family ancestry. I am a quarter Korean, Argentinian, German, Irish, and more. I have traveled to almost every continent (except Australia and Antarctica) and countries such as Kenya, Israel, Spain, France, Peru, Turkey, Thailand, Cambodia, and islands in the Caribbean to name a few! I am also related to Che Guevara, the Argentine Marxist Revolutionist, whom many of you may recognize as the guy on the t-shirt.

  • I love hunting for vintage furniture and decor at antique shows and flea markets and mixing these pieces with newer items for a lived-in look with stories to tell. When I have the time, I also love restoring furniture or transforming it into something fun.

  • I have always considered myself an old soul and more mature for my age and I find that some of my designs are reflective of that. However, don't be fooled. Occasionally you'll get a quick, perhaps inappropriate, one-liner from me or catch me owning a game of Cards Against Humanity. 

  • In my free time, you can find me with my family, gardening, by a body of water, practicing yoga, wine tasting and eating delicious food, and smelling candles (my weakness!).

Meet Brian

Designer

From a young age, I was captivated by design—so much so that at just 10 years old, I reached out to a designer on HGTV, hoping to have my family’s home renovated. While my HGTV debut never came to life, my passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces only grew stronger.

I graduated from High Point University in May 2023 with a degree in Interior Design and have loved helping clients bring their visions to reality ever since.

Outside of design, my life is kept busy by my two-year-old Shih-Poo, Boston. In my free time, you’ll find me enjoying walks with him, going for a run, working out at the gym, or spending quality time with family and friends. I also have a deep love for travel and hope to continue exploring the world—Italy is at the top of my bucket list!
