Caitlin Swann is the founder and principal designer of Swann Design and the creator of The Picket Fence Projects. The Picket Fence Projects began in 2013 as a way to document the renovation of the first home she shared with her husband. What started as a personal creative outlet has since evolved alongside her work as an interior designer, from renovating and reimagining her own homes to creating thoughtful, personal spaces for clients through Swann Design.

Caitlin’s approach to design is rooted in creating homes that feel collected, comfortable, and distinctly personal. She is drawn to relaxed, uncluttered interiors that balance old and new, mixing vintage pieces with contemporary furnishings and thoughtfully blending investment pieces with more approachable finds. Above all, she believes a home should reflect the people who live there—beautiful without feeling overly designed, and comfortable enough to truly be lived in.

She lives in coastal Fairfield County, Connecticut, with her husband, Chris, and their three children. When she isn’t designing for clients or dreaming up a project of her own, she enjoys spending time at the beach with family and friends.
