We Are Hiring

Project Manager/Interior Designer

About Anne McDonald Design

At Anne McDonald Design (AMD) we design interiors for residential and commercial projects, ranging from historic homes, new builds, and boutique hospitality projects. Our diverse projects, spanning coast to coast, can range from a single, special room to an entire home. Our firm is known for its ability to blend classical design practices with natural, artful materials.

AMD was named an Architectural Digest New American Voice in 2024, was featured in AD earlier this year, and you can find us in Elle Decor, Introspective, the New York Times, amongst others.

As an intentionally small firm we work collaboratively in a light drenched Minneapolis studio where you will always find good tunes and good scents. Our designs are best captured by talented photographers and stylists, which you can peruse on our portfolio.
