Kelsey Ralph brings a deep appreciation for both time-honored craftsmanship and cutting-edge luxury to her role as Project Designer at Meg Lonergan Interiors. She began her career interning at a legacy River Oaks firm known for its dedication to hand-drafting and pedigreed antiques before moving on to a high-end contemporary studio specializing in ultra-custom luxury homes. This dual perspective—rooted in tradition yet fluent in innovation—now informs her work at MLI, where she helps translate bold concepts into beautifully livable spaces. Passionate about the history of interior design, Kelsey thrives on blending classic influences with new technologies, ensuring each project is as thoughtful as it is timeless.
