A Home for the Holidays

About the design:

This lobby was designed for the FedEx Family House with intention, warmth, and purpose at the forefront. Rich red and deep burgundy accents were layered throughout to create a sense of comfort, tradition, and hope - colors that feel grounding and familiar during what can be an incredibly emotional season for the families who stay here. This project was made possible through collaboration with the FedEx Pilots Wives Association, a local nonprofit whose members continually show up to support families during some of their most challenging moments. Their commitment to service and community was the heart behind this installation. We were also generously supported by Vickerman, whose discounted materials allowed our budget to stretch further and ensured the space could be filled with fullness, beauty, and care without compromise. The FedEx Family House provides a home away from home for families traveling to Memphis, TN while their loved ones receive critical medical care at LeBonheur Children's Hospital. It offers comfort, stability, and dignity during times of uncertainty—something that felt especially important to honor through this design. Every ribbon, ornament, and layer was chosen with the hope of bringing a small sense of peace, warmth, and normalcy to the families who gather here. This is more than seasonal décor - it’s a reflection of what’s possible when community, generosity, and design come together in service of something bigger.
