Abi Babcock began her five-decade design career working for Emmy Sims, the first woman to lead a commercial design firm in Atlanta. Her classical training in business and commercial interiors, where function and aesthetics carry equal weight, continues to shape her residential work today. Early projects ranged from banks and country clubs to the film sets of the 1972 classic Deliverance, an experience that refined her eye for lighting and staging.

From 1977 to 1980, she worked with Tosh Yamashito Associates in Los Angeles, specializing in department store interiors, followed by two more years in the same field with John Roberts Associates in St. Louis.

In 1982, she founded her own firm in Boston, collaborating with high-end residential developers and pioneering a new concept: designing a fully decorated model unit within commercial projects to serve as a sales environment.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Abi focused on the restoration and renovation of luxury homes in Greenwich, Connecticut. Her commercial work during this time included the Candies store at The Westchester Mall and furnishing guest houses at the Trump National Golf Club.

While living in Madrid, she completed several renovation and decoration projects, including the honor of furnishing the Friends Room of the Reina Sofía Museum alongside renowned Spanish designer Antonio Caduceus.

Now back in the United States, Abi continues her work in residential design, interior architecture, and floral décor for special occasions.
