Abby Burba, Principal Designer
Birdsong Design Studio LLC was founded in 2018 after over a decade in interior design, in an effort to improve the way we live and work today.
BRANDED Commercial Interiors
Bespoke Private Spaces
The Studio
- It has been a privilege to be a professional interior designer for many years. After receiving a degree in Interior & Environmental Design, a generous residential designer in Southern California took me under his wing. At the same time, I worked under a superbly unique collector and designer in his own right, supporting his storied LA based antiques shops.
- Moving to the Midwest, where my family originates, I joined a prestigious firm with strong creative vision and commitment to excellence in all aspects of design. The combination of skills, teaming interior design with interior architecture, provided a foundation for future work.
- Returning to the Southeast had been a dream, and as was the opportunity to work in the historic homes of Charleston under a uniquely talented woman, who brought both kindness and intelligence to that world of design. There color, character and function exist outside an ongoing parade of trends. Where beauty has a timeless moment that draws you near.
Each opportunity equally appreciated, for the time with each team and member has enriched life both professionally and personally.
- As a mom, in Charlotte, looking ahead to a new chapter of design work, unexpected opportunities arise. Specifically, the chance to take what is best of the process and product that is residential interiors and begin to apply that to a world of commercial spaces as part of a new team.
- Today, this work has evolved, and I hope that will continue. It is the support of friends, old and new, craftsman, contractors and trades that make each project happen.
With appreciation,
Abby
CORE VALUES
​We understand that projects are at the core an investment, both financial and in the way we live and work. The designer is a key team member from planning through implementation. Though project types and scopes vary, the goal of BDS LLC remains clear, to guide and support the owner and team in the successful completion of each unique space.
​
​Psalm 24:1 says, 'The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.'
​​
​We believe that all people deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
​
We strive to 'create space' in which we can both live and work; space that is marked by communication, teamwork and creativity.
​
We look for opportunities to utilize the design process to build community and connection. Creating spaces with meaning and value.​​​​
