The story of how we discovered design's power to heal, inspire, and restore
Our Mission: Homes That Heal
We founded Curio Studio because we saw too many people living in beautiful spaces that felt emotionally empty. Despite having "perfect" interiors, our friends, family, and community were too often exhausted by their homes instead of restored by them.
That's when we discovered the missing piece: intentional design that honors the connection between people, place, and planet. Every element we choose, every material we source, every color we select is guided by one question:
"Will this help our clients feel more like themselves?"
The result? Spaces that don't just photograph beautifully — they transform how you experience daily life.
SAVANNAH DODGE
— Principal Designer & Co-Founder
Why Savannah Chose Interior Design: After years of seeing people struggle in homes that drained rather than energized them, Savannah dedicated her career to creating spaces that promote genuine well-being. Her BFA in Interior Design from Suffolk University gave her the technical foundation, but her true expertise comes from understanding the psychology of space.
Her Superpower: Translating your lifestyle, values, and dreams into physical environments that support who you truly are.
Design Philosophy: "Spaces should feel as good as they look — grounded in human connection, rich in texture, and aligned with the rhythms of daily life."
What Clients Say: "Savannah has an incredible gift for seeing what we couldn't articulate about our own needs."
ZACK PETROCCA
— Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder
Why Operations Matter in Design: Beautiful design means nothing if the process is chaotic. Zack ensures that your transformation journey is as smooth and stress-free as the final result. His background in business development and systems means you get white-glove service from first consultation to final installation.
His Superpower: Creating seamless experiences that let you focus on the excitement of transformation instead of project stress.
Operational Philosophy: "Exceptional design deserves exceptional execution. Every client interaction should feel as intentional as every design choice."
What Clients Say: "The entire process was so well-organized that we actually enjoyed our renovation."
HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
THE CURIO METHOD
Most interior designers focus on how spaces look. We focus on how they make you feel.
Sustainable by Design
Every piece is chosen for longevity, not trends. We source locally when possible, prioritize natural materials, and create spaces that honor your values as much as your aesthetic.
Energy Psychology
Using color theory, biophilic design principles, and space planning psychology, we create environments that restore rather than drain your energy.
Personal Storytelling
Your home should tell YOUR story, not copy someone else's. We curate pieces that reflect your journey, celebrate your individuality, and spark meaningful conversations.
Artisan Partnerships
Through our network of local craftspeople and vintage dealers, you get pieces with soul and provenance — not mass-market mediocrity.
