We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Wilson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, what inspires you?
As a home stager and interior designer, I’m deeply inspired by nature, art and any form of creativity. Nature’s organic forms and calming palettes influence my designs, bringing a sense of tranquility and balance into the spaces I create. Art with its bold expression and diverse styles encourages me to blend textures, colours, and unique pieces that tell a story. Ultimately, creativity fuels my ability to see potential in every space, transforming it into something inviting, personal, and beautiful. This combination helps me design homes that not only look stunning but also feel harmonious and alive.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I like to describe my style as “Modern Organic’ which blends contemporary clean lines and minimalist aesthetic with the warmth and natural elements of organic materials. It emphasises the use of neutral colours, natural textures like wood, stone and linen and plenty of greenery to create a calm earthy atmosphere. I have done so many creatively different things in life that has given me the skill set for what I do today. From prop fabrication, architectural model building, trade show booth building to visual merchandising, I have taken bits and pieces from all of these creative ventures and applied them to my successful business today. Refresh Denver just celebrated our 5th year of business and I am proud to say I still love what I do.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting I would obviously take them to see the beauty and uniqueness that is Colorado. A beautiful drive and hike to Brainard Lake or Eldorado Springs. Both have amazing hikes with amazing views.
Being from Santa Fe where Meow Wolf originated, I would definitely take her there for the visual eye candy. Dinner at one of my fav’s Barcelona Wine Bar followed by some gallery hopping would be a perfect night out!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shout out to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I was born and raised, for fuelling my creativity and inspiring my journey to who I have become as an artist. The city’s vibrant mix of cultures, its natural beauty and thriving arts scene sparked my passion for design. Growing up surrounded by so much creativity shaped my ability to work with many different interior styles. Santa Fe’s artistic spirit is truly at the heart of what I do today.
