Ann McDonald is a professional luxury holiday designer, trainer, decorator and manufacturer. She has over 30 years of experience on the front lines of luxury lifestyle design in New York City, Beverly Hills and the San Francisco Bay Area.

She works with multiple generation families from across the globe to establish legacy through celebration and intentional family gatherings, especially during the holiday season.

One of the hallmarks of Ann's training is the value and honor given to how families can best celebrate to have peace and hope during what can be a stressful season. In order to make space for families to best collaborate and enjoy peace, Ann and her teams deem the time period between October 1 and January 31 as the "season of celebration". This allows space for families and the professionals that serve them during this time (designers, decorators, florists, event planners) to create seasonal celebrations that bring joy and flourish from peace. Whether it's a blended family embracing Jewish traditions and celebrating the Feasts of Israel to Christian traditions of Christmas, there is a place for all of it to be brought with honor.

Ann has been featured in Elle Decor's Luxury Now Edition and is the Business Moderator for the Trade Group: Interior Design Community. She has been an on air host at KBIS and other Design Industry Trade Shows. She has also been featured in luxury design publications, online summits for design and business, and has spoken on the national stage on Implementing Ideas from the heart of God.
