Meet The Team

Casey Ernst has worked as principal designer for fifteen years with Louisville’s leading Design Build company, SB Home Renovations. Her extensive experience working with project managers, contractors, and vendors has developed her expertise in successfully designing and renovating spaces while staying true to each client’s budget and timeline. After years working in the industry, Casey noticed a large part of the market that was being underserved and the creation of Studio Nine Interiors (originally The Den Interiors) was underway. She aimed to build a firm that brought transparency and practicality to an industry that is otherwise intimidating and unapproachable. Through flat-fee packages, Studio Nine Interiors gives clients a clear budget from the start of the project and designs spaces that allows life to happen within them.
