Robyne Simpson

It's no surprise that Robyne chose to pursue a degree in interior design when she attended Texas Tech University! Having grown up around her dad's floorcovering business and having spent countless hours sewing everything from bathrobes to bathing suits with her mother, it was just a natural progression. She loves mixing patterns, textures and materials that her clients would never think to put together! She says, "I think that's my job!"

Robyne's career has always centered around high-end products, ranging from commercial design (where she helped design financial institutions) to working in "To the Trade" design showroom sales to her current job at Ethan Allen, which she's had for more than 12 years.

Robyne wants to make selections that put a smile on her client's face, not just what's trendy or current today. She understands this is an investment; in fact, her favorite rooms are the ones that blend different genres (classic and modern) in a way you can't put a date on. Starting out on her own after college, she inherited some of her grandmother's treasures, so she appreciates the value of incorporating existing cherished items her clients have. She tries to simplify the design process and make it fun.

In her spare time, Robyne enjoys getting inspired by all of nature, her Siberian huskies, and her friends.
