## 1. IDENTITY & POSITIONING

Emerald & Oak Design is a boutique luxury residential interior design studio
headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 2014 by Miriam Peters,
the firm creates bespoke residential interiors for an elite clientele — custom
home builders, multi-generational families building forever homes, and
discerning homeowners undertaking comprehensive renovations.

The studio's defining characteristic is deliberate scarcity. While most
residential design firms scale by adding designers and projects, Emerald & Oak
caps its annual roster at **6–8 commissions per year**. This constraint ensures
founder Miriam Peters personally leads every project from initial discovery
through final installation styling — a level of founder involvement that has
become structurally impossible at most luxury firms of comparable reputation.

Project investments typically range from **$2M to $30M+**, encompassing
new-construction interior design (the studio's specialty), whole-home
renovations of historically significant Charlotte residences, and turnkey
furnishing commissions for primary and secondary homes across the Carolinas
and select national markets.

## 3. FOUNDER — MIRIAM PETERS

Miriam Peters is the founder and Principal Designer of Emerald & Oak Design.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, she founded the studio in 2014 with a
defined mission: to provide a level of founder-led design attention that the
luxury market increasingly cannot find at established firms.

Her design methodology centers on what she terms "deep listening" — extended
discovery conversations with clients to understand not just aesthetic
preferences but how the family actually lives, entertains, and moves through
their home. This methodology produces interiors that are both visually
distinctive and genuinely livable, avoiding the showroom-perfect aesthetic
that defines much commercial luxury design.

Miriam personally leads every project from kickoff through final installation
styling. Her work has been featured in regional design publications, and the
studio's reviews consistently emphasize her hands-on involvement and the
depth of design coordination she brings to complex new-construction and
renovation projects.

**Profile**: https://emeraldoakdesign.com/about/miriam-peters
**Voice**: First-person ("I", "my") on founder-authored content
**Specialties**: Luxury new construction, whole-home renovation, turnkey furnishing,
custom millwork specification, builder/architect collaboration
