Hello, I’m Heather!

I’m an Eastern Shore based interior designer with 20+ years of experience and the founder of Heather Disabella Interior Design. I spent the first 10 years of my career working with corporate, healthcare, and not-for-profit clients, which I truly loved.  After the birth of my first child, I quit my full-time job with a firm and launched HDID where I have enjoyed working with over 200+ clients since opening.


HDID is a boutique studio located on the beautiful Eastern Shore, serving the surrounding areas including Annapolis, Easton and St. Michaels. Specializing in full-service residential design, we are a close-knit team of passionate creatives.

The HDID Philosophy

Our design philosophy is based on the belief that design is not just about aesthetics, but also about creating environments that make you feel at ease, inspire your best self, and reflect who you truly are. From family-friendly comfort to minimalist sophistication, we infuse each space with a personalized touch, blending fresh, innovative ideas with a timeless design sensibility.
Our commitment extends to crafting designs that seamlessly merge functionality with style, harmonizing with the rhythm of your everyday family life. In our client-led approach, we collaborate closely with you, delving into your preferences and understanding the distinctive qualities of your home. Here, there’s no one-size-fits-all mentality; each project unfolds organically, tailored to meet your unique needs and desires.

From concept to creation, every detail is curated to enhance your living experience, resulting in a functional and elevated environment.
