Meet Fern – Your Design Guide
Fern brings a calm, thoughtful approach to design,
believing that the spaces we live in should feel as good as they look. With a
background in graphic design and marketing, she has spent years turning ideas
into visuals that feel intentional, balanced, and welcoming. That same eye for
detail now carries into her role in the Design Studio, where she helps
homeowners feel confident and excited about the selections that will shape
their homes.
Before joining Grant & Co., Fern worked in a variety of
creative roles, from brand design and digital marketing to real estate
photography. Working behind the camera deepened her appreciation for light,
flow, and how thoughtful design choices can support everyday living. With a
personal love for wellness and mindful living, Fern is drawn to spaces that
feel grounded, comfortable, and truly livable. Today, she brings that
perspective into every project, helping create homes that are not only beautiful,
but feel like a place to exhale.
Step 1: Getting to Know You
When you arrive at the Design Studio, Fern takes time to understand your style, your priorities, and your must-haves. She believes the process should feel personal and collaborative.
“ With a personal love for wellness and mindful living, I am drawn to spaces that feel grounded, comfortable, and truly livable and I want Grant homebuyers to create the home that fits their lifestyle and brings them joy and peace for years to come." Fern Rodriguez
If you are not quite sure what your style is yet, Fern recommends starting with inspiration - bring a Pinterest board of photos of spaces you love with you to the Design appointment. Touring Grant model homes is another fantastic way to experience different looks and colors in real life and discover what truly speaks to you.
While choosing every selection may feel overwhelming at first, our thoughtful processes turn it into an exciting, creative journey you will genuinely enjoy!
Step 2: Building the Foundation
Once she understands your vision, Fern helps you establish the key elements that will shape the overall look and feel of your home. She encourages choices that are timeless and versatile, giving you flexibility to refresh your space over the years without losing its harmony.
Step 3: Layering in Personality
With the foundation in place, Fer guides you through adding the personal touches that bring warmth and individuality to your home. She loves helping homeowners weave in details that reflect their taste and lifestyle, and she always reminds them not to hold back on the features they truly love.
"If you have your heart set on that beautiful countertop or bold tile, go for it. You’re going to live with it for a long time, and you’ll be glad you did. Choose the options that make you happy!"
Bringing It All Together
Each step in the studio follows a natural order, with one decision flowing seamlessly into the next. By the end, your entire design feels cohesive and complete. Before you leave, Fern reviews everything with you to ensure you feel confident and excited.
For her, the most rewarding part is watching homeowners walk away proud of the design they’ve created and happy with one of the biggest purchases of their lives.
“My goal is for every homeowner to leave the studio feeling proud of the design we created together—and knowing it’s beautiful now and will be in years to come!"
The guidance, expertise, and personalized attention you receive in our Design Studio are truly invaluable. With a wide variety of beautiful, high-quality selections to fit every budget, we make the process both enjoyable and accessible. At Grant & Co., we’re committed to ensuring every decision you make is thoughtful, lasting, and perfectly tailored to your home and lifestyle.
