About Us
Where peace begins
White Dove Interiors was born from a simple belief: peace in your life begins at home. In an overwhelming world where so much feels out of our control, your home is the one place that should truly be yours—a sanctuary that reflects your authentic self and restores you daily.
White Dove was created because so often, design prioritizes trends over truth. We believe every space has another chapter waiting, and that giving your home new life doesn't mean starting from scratch or chasing what everyone else is doing. It means understanding you deeply, honoring your story, and creating spaces grounded in elegance.
Why the dove
The White Dove isn't just our name—it's a symbol of what we stand for. At the heart of our logo is a hand-drawn dove carrying an olive branch, a timeless representation of peace and renewal. Look closely and you'll notice the dove's silhouette forms a subtle W, which also echoes the Hebrew letter shin, the first letter of "shalom" and a symbol of peace itself. The olive branch holds five delicate leaves—one for each of Melissa’s children, a reminder that this work is deeply rooted in real life and family. It's a small detail that speaks to our larger belief: great design honors the authentic, everyday moments that make a house a home.

FOUNDER & DESIGNER
I have been very fortunate to be surrounded by a lineage of inspiring, creative women. From my grandmother to my mother and aunts, each generation passed down a deep appreciation for color, texture, and the art of blending these elements and others. Their influence shaped not only my aesthetic but the very way I perceive the world around me. This generational influence deeply shaped my perspective, turning a love for design into a lifelong calling.This heritage fuels my passion for interior design—a desire to create timeless, beautiful environments that honor who my clients are and how they live. Built on a foundation of transparency and partnership, I uphold the belief that great design is the product of collaboration with our clients.
My work strives for a perfect equilibrium: spaces that are sophisticated and refined, yet rooted in function and comfort. Ultimately, I aim to create homes that honor your history while elevating your daily life.

Dyllan Whitehead
SENIOR DESIGNER
With a foundation in marketing and a lifelong instinct for interiors, I bring a uniquely refined perspective to every space I design. My career in marketing sharpened my eye for detail, storytelling, and visual impact—skills that now translate seamlessly into creating environments that feel both intentional and effortlessly elevated. I’ve always been drawn to the way a space can influence mood and experience, and that natural sensitivity has evolved into a design approach that is equal parts strategic and intuitive.My aesthetic is rooted in clean, curated layers—where form meets function and every element serves a purpose. I believe great design should feel personal yet polished, balancing timelessness with a modern edge. Whether I’m transforming a blank canvas or refining what already exists, my goal is to create spaces that not only look beautiful, but feel considered, livable, and distinctly yours.
what we Value
Kindness guides every relationship we build. We believe thoughtful design starts with genuine care, taking time to truly understand your story and making choices that honor both people and environment.
Kindness
Beautiful spaces must work for real life. We design timeless spaces with intention, ensuring every element serves a purpose and supports how you actually live. Because elegance without function is just for show.
Function
Our approach is warm, not transactional. From our organic client relationships to the inviting spaces we create, coziness is woven into everything we do, making the design process feel as restorative as the final result.
Warmth
We love the warmth she brought to our home and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
