Princess Thompson, Owner
The Renovation Princess
Princess Thompson’s experience is rooted in over 25 years in the kitchen and bath industry. Early in her career, she remembers noticing very few women of color in her classes, and the same proved to be true in the real-world industry. Because of this, she strives to prove that this industry has room for everyone. At The Renovation Princess, she does more than design—mentoring aspiring designers and teaching that for success to be achieved, experiences and knowledge need to be shared. 678.886.8677, www.facebook.com/therenovationprincess
Selena Lewis, Owner
Selena Lewis Designs
Selena Lewis’s instinct has always been to think of ways to bring a room to the next level. She exercised her creativity and eclectic style beyond her own home for friends and family, starting with wallpaper projects, growing into furniture and decor design and eventually adding entire-house design. She believes that, as a woman, it’s important to be seen in multiple facets of the design world, so today she also partners with contractors to design new builds and remodels. 678.267.4835, www.selenalewisdesigns.com
