Page Finlay Design is a boutique interior design studio based in St. Helena, Napa Valley, specializing in high-end residential projects rooted in the principles of neuro-aesthetics, nervous system regulation, and circadian rhythm. Founder Page Finlay launched the firm after relocating from Austin, where she built her design background through firms like Bunkhouse and Christina Simon Studio.
Page's design philosophy is shaped equally by her hospitality background and her belief that built environments profoundly affect how people feel, sleep, focus, and connect. Every PFD project is approached with the conviction that thoughtful design is not decorative but restorative, and that the rooms we live and work in should support long-term wellbeing as much as they reflect personal taste.
The studio works on a curated portfolio of projects across the Napa Valley and beyond, from full-home renovations and historic property conversions to commercial spaces for businesses that value craft, calm, and considered detail.
PFD is a small, intentional team. Page works alongside an operations lead, and a trusted network of contractors, fabricators, and trade partners. The studio places a high value on warmth, hospitality, and honest communication, with clients and with each other. The pace is steady rather than frantic, and the work is taken seriously without anyone taking themselves too seriously. The technical designer who joins us now will be part of that trajectory from an early and meaningful chapter.
If you love precision and beauty in equal measure, care deeply about how spaces feel and not only how they photograph, and want to grow inside a firm where craft, wellness, and hospitality are the genuine operating principles, we would love to hear from you.
