Whitney Royer

I am an interior designer who now calls Savannah, Georgia home. Influenced by my family's history in residential and commercial construction, I am the fourth-generation member to pursue creating beautiful, functional and safe environments. I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Interior Design at Georgia Southern University.

Soon after graduation, I was recruited to be a member of the Catlin Design team in Jacksonville, Florida. For the past three years as an Associate Designer at Catlin Design I have been using my inherited knowledge, competitive college education, and growing design skills to assist in the designing and managing of projects for Catlin Design clients. I am currently an Allied ASID member and in pursuit of my NCIDQ certification to become a certified interior designer.

B.S. in Interior Design accredited by CIDA and NASAD

The education I received at Georgia Southern University has not only prepared me to land a fantastic position at an esteemed design firm, it prepared me to undertake the NCIDQ examination. This interior design program offered courses covering a range of subjects including AutoCAD and Revit, lighting design, materials and systems, professional practices, and the history of interiors to name a few. Design studios including residential, commercial, hospitality and healthcare were required as well.

The projects that I have worked on have ranged from complete new construction residences, to build-out commercial spaces where Catlin Design served as the architects, to renovations of both residential and commercial spaces. Catlin Design is usually partnered with a team of architects, engineers and builders in the initial stages of a project. We walk through all the phases with the team and client, to complete the project with furnishings and finishing touches.
