367 Gabriela Evangelisti, Allied ASID Highlands Ranch, CO 720.933.7584 savignoninteriors.com Most people think that Savignon Interiors was named after the beautiful wine region in France, says founder and lead designer Gabriela Evangelisti. But Savignon, her family name, means "tailor" in French and, just like a real tailor, she doesn't limit herself to one method or design. She and her team always add creativity into their work, celebrating their clients' individuality while paying attention to the smallest details and integrating the latest trends and advancements in design. Trained at UC Berkeley in interior architecture, Gabriela has been providing design consultation for more than 15 years and has traveled extensively abroad, enriching her eye for color and unique elements. She is fluent in Spanish, English, French, and Italian, which has been instrumental for her participation in exclusive international commercial and residential projects. She has also been the featured designer on HGTV's House Hunters Renovations and published in Architectural Digest.
