We are active in our community, we care about our clients, we fuss over design aesthetics. In no particular order.
About Us
Meet Our Team
We’re a national interior design company that performs like a firm twice our size. This means we get to know you pretty well, and you can count on us to deliver on time and on budget, no matter where you are located in the United States.

Opening her own residential design firm in Denver was a start, but the second she stepped into a model home, she knew designing individual residences was not her passion... Creating homes from the ground up was much more exciting! She remembers the designer of the first model home she visited: Bev Trupp of Color Design Art. Based in L.A. Bev’s ability to design and build a brand captured Doris’ attention. Today, under Doris’ leadership, Possibilities for Design is one of the most-awarded interior design firms for developers and home builders in the country.
“To this day, I love every single part of what we do. My happiest design moment is walking into a finished model or commercial space and being enamored with the lifestyle and design that the Possibilities team has created.”




Although she is an active Coloradan through and through – catch her at the next Bolder Boulder – she is an East Coast girl at heart. Born and raised in Maryland, this Indiana University alum can twirl a baton, chair a council dedicated to women in building, sit on national committees, and publish a book!
Don’t hesitate to reach out for a coffee date (she knows all the best local spots) if you want to learn more about her role at Possibilities.
DESIGN STAFF

Usually the last to leave the office, her hard work shines through in the projects she leads. Since the age of seven, she knew she wanted to be a designer, and headed straight for Possibilities when she graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado with her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. She has worn many hats over the years, including marketing! We couldn’t be happier to have her part of our Possibilities family, as one of our earliest senior designers.
On the weekends, you can find her gardening, hiking, camping with her growing family, or strolling with Spencer and her dog, Boo.


Fun fact: she recently helped build a passive solar earth shelter in Pueblo, CO, made of both natural and up-cycled materials. The hard manual labor and new knowledge of self-sustaining systems fuels her passion as an eco-conscious designer – and we love her unique perspective!



When she isn’t working, you can find her cooking & cocktailing with her husband and friends, boating in Missouri, camping in the mountains, snuggling her Shepherd-Collie, Rooney, or racing down Vail’s slopes. (Keep First-Aid on stand-by, though!)




They were soon relocated, again, this time to Odessa, Texas, where she felt the void of California and Istanbul’s beauty and adventure. One day, she made a compelling argument that Colorado could be their forever home – and without hesitation – her family bee-lined for Denver. We are so happy Meryem’s path led her to Possibilities! Her luster for life and new experiences gives her the perfect joie de vivre and drive as a designer.
On the weekends, you can find her revving up her power tools for DIY projects, being a green thumb, and cooking~

Gathering inspiration from nature, Emmalyne’s work derives from a Biophilic point-of-view. “The various natural patterns and colors fascinate me,” she says. Going on to explain how incredible it is when nature incorporated in interiors has such a positive effect on us both mentally and physically.
When she’s not working, you can "naturally" find her hiking, painting, enjoying a book, or at the archery range!


Amongst her strengths in crunching numbers and proofreading, she’s also a talented singer - and can yodel! - performing at weddings, corporate parties, and singing the National Anthem at Veterans’ Balls. Being in the world of design is a new chapter for Candace, one we know she’ll love!


Capabilities
Our process begins with extensive research and questioning into every aspect of the community. What is the relationship between housing and landscape? What is the community USP? What materials and architectural styles are at play? And, perhaps most important of all, how does the community serve the dreams of its future inhabitants? We develop a specific buyer profile that allows us to tailor our design accordingly.
