Heyden Haus is where my love for design, travel, entertaining, and thoughtful everyday living come together. It’s a place to document inspiring spaces, meaningful experiences, and the ideas worth bringing home—whether that’s a beautifully designed hotel, a vintage market find, a memorable meal, or a room that’s still evolving.

I’m Hollis, a creative director and designer with more than a decade of experience shaping brands, products, and spaces. My career has spanned commercial and residential interiors, brand identity, packaging, product design, and creative direction, giving me the opportunity to work across industries including consumer packaged goods, hospitality, retail, and fashion. Throughout that work, one thing has remained constant: a fascination with how thoughtful design can elevate everyday experiences.

Today, that same perspective extends beyond client work and into the stories I share here. You’ll find destination guides with a designer’s eye, approachable interior inspiration, entertaining ideas, curated product recommendations, and the occasional behind-the-scenes look at life’s newest chapter—our growing family. My hope is that Heyden Haus feels less like a blog and more like a trusted resource for discovering beautiful places, collecting thoughtful ideas, and creating a home and life you genuinely love.
