About Camille

 
 

“Currently Curating”…

Camille Hellwig’s passion for design began at an early age. Growing up in the South with a mother in the antiques business and a father with an extensive art collection, she thrived in an environment where fine furnishings and beautiful art were celebrated. Her happiest childhood memories include the frequent rearranging of her room and playhouse. 

An honors graduate with a business degree from the University of Mississippi, Camille worked in design-related sales positions before returning to her “first love.” Enrolling in the Associates program at the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID), she was determined to learn from the best in the field. In addition to managing her rigorous NYSID schedule, she sought work as an intern with local design firms to gain real-world experience in New York’s competitive and demanding marketplace. 

Camille’s career received a significant boost when Miles Redd, LLC, selected her as a design intern. Miles Redd, now known as Redd Kaihoi, is one of the industry’s A-list firms, and her time spent in this fast paced environment was invaluable. Subsequently, she worked as a design manager for Brockschmidt & Coleman, LLC, where she led projects, sourced materials, and nurtured relationships with vendors and high-profile clients. She gained an unwavering commitment to detail, which is essential to the success of any design project.

Today, she is at ease curating homes that seamlessly blend classic and contemporary elements. Her designs are a testament to the power of contrast, offering warmth and comfort while creating spaces with dynamic impact. Clean line furnishings, bold color palettes, eclectic artwork, and boastful fabrics are her signature style. She has a penchant for color and prides herself on vibrant projects that range from moody jewel-tone entryways to soft, icy-colored bedrooms and even whimsical children’s playrooms. Launched in 2012, Camille Hellwig Interiors’ client base spans across the Southeast, New York City and Long Island.

 

“Flair is a primitive kind of style. It is innate and cannot be taught. It can be polished and refined. When a person has flair, a grounding in the principle of design, and self-discipline, that person has the potential of being an outstanding designer.”
