Meet Founder Shanti Rose:
I grew up in Tempe and have called Arizona home for nearly 40 years, living in different parts of the Valley along the way. Raised by my single mother alongside my younger sister, I learned early on the importance of creativity, resilience, and community. From childhood, I loved decorating my room and experimenting with color and texture—it was my first glimpse into how environments shape how we feel. Those experiences planted the seeds for what would later become my passion and career in design.
Journey:
Though I began in administrative roles, I always felt called to something more creative. A career exploration class, along with several assessments, introduced me to interior design. After taking a few classes, I knew I had found my path and went on to earn a degree in Interior Design. For eight years, I gained invaluable experience with several firms before launching Piece by Peace Designs. Today, I’m proud to lead a small but mighty team—including a full-time operations manager and a talented junior designer—as we celebrate seven years in business.

Business Story:
Piece by Peace Designs was born from a desire to create personalized, meaningful spaces that reflect each client’s unique story. I wanted the freedom to work on projects that felt authentic and aligned with my values. What I love most about my work is the collaboration—listening deeply, uncovering a client’s vision, and then bringing it to life. Watching a client’s face light up when they see their home or business transformed is incredibly rewarding.

Helpful Insights:
- Start with feeling: Decide how you want your space to feel before choosing colors or furniture.
- Layer your lighting: Ambient, task, and accent lighting together can completely transform a room’s mood.
- Prioritize proportion: The right scale of furniture and art makes all the difference.
- Bring the outdoors in: Natural textures and greenery add balance, life, and wellness.
- Curate intentionally: Choose fewer, more meaningful pieces rather than filling rooms with items that don’t inspire you.
Beyond the Business;
Outside of design, I enjoy painting, live music, and spending time with family and friends. I also create commissioned artwork, which often becomes a personal touch in my design projects. Community is important to me, and I stay active by volunteering locally and supporting charities. While I don’t have pets right now, I look forward to one day sharing my home with a French bulldog or a cuddly kitty.
