DESIGN WITH CARE
Residential Design Studio
About ZONNA
Based in Nashville, ZONNA Design is an independent residential design studio focused on creating spaces that reflect the people who live in them. From reimagining existing layouts to planning renovations and additions, the studio brings together creativity, functionality, and a thoughtful understanding of how a home is lived in.
Every project begins with an appreciation for the home's existing character and the possibilities within it, balancing aesthetic vision with practical design solutions that make everyday living more comfortable, functional, and personal.
I'm Yvette,
Founder of ZONNA.
What I enjoy most about residential design is getting to know the people behind each project. Every homeowner has different needs, ideas, and ways of living, and I love being part of the process of figuring out what works best for them. Whether it's a small improvement or a larger renovation, I approach each project with curiosity, attention to detail, and a commitment to finding solutions that feel right for both the home and the people living in it.
Yvette Phinder
Founder & Residential Architectural Designer
My career in architecture and residential design spans more than 25 years, with experience across the United States, Mexico, Chile, and Japan. Working in different countries and cultures has given me a broad perspective on design, as well as a flexibility and deep respect for the different ways people live within their space.
Throughout my career, I've worked closely with homeowners, architects, and builders on projects ranging from residential renovations and additions to new construction. That personal, hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of both the design and construction process, which also allows me to navigate both perspectives and advocate for those involved.
