Meet Morgan Patch | Interior Designer

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

Hi Morgan, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
One thing people don’t always realize about interior design is how deeply personal—and emotional—the process really is. It’s not just about picking beautiful furniture or trendy tile. As a designer, especially one who’s also a mom, I’m invited into the very real, lived-in parts of people’s lives: their routines, their values, their chaos and their calm. My job is to listen closely and translate those everyday rhythms into spaces that feel like home—authentic, functional, and full of soul.

In Colorado especially, I’ve found there’s a craving for a design experience that feels approachable, not intimidating. I try to create that for my clients: a grounded, collaborative process where design feels less like a luxury and more like a tool for creating clarity, comfort, and connection in the spaces we inhabit every day.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business is rooted in the belief that design should be approachable, personal, and transformative—not just visually, but emotionally and functionally, too. I see interior design as a powerful tool to support well-being, connection, and creativity in everyday life.

Before stepping into this field, I worked in education and social work for many years—often in therapeutic, early childhood, and community-based environments. Across all of those roles, I saw just how deeply the spaces we inhabit impact how we feel, how we relate to others, and how we show up in the world. That understanding continues to shape how I design today: with intention, curiosity, and care for the whole person or family who will be living in the space.

I never set out to become a designer. It was actually a realtor friend who first pointed out that I had an eye for design—especially the why behind how spaces function and feel—and encouraged me to pursue it. She hired me to help with her own home, and that project lit the spark. From there, everything began to grow organically.

But it took time and a lot of inner work to believe I could actually turn this passion into a business. My background was more analytical, so I had to trust that creativity is a skill to be honed—and that all the insights I’d gained about people, development, environments, and emotional health could inform something truly valuable and lucrative. I had to learn to back myself, to say yes before I felt fully ready, and to keep showing up through moments of doubt.

What I’m most proud of is the way I’ve built a business that allows me to be deeply present and responsive—not only to my clients, but also to my daughters. The flexibility I have as a business owner means I can be emotionally available for them, and that feels like a silver lining I never could have imagined when I started.

If there’s one thing I want people to know about me and my work, it’s that I’m here to make the design process feel human, collaborative, and grounded. My job is to help people reimagine their environments in ways that support who they are and how they want to live—whether that’s a cozy family kitchen, a restorative wellness space, or a home that finally feels like theirs.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

If one of my best friends was visiting in the summer, I’d want them to get a true taste of everything Colorado has to offer—city gems, creative community spots, mountain air, and the kind of experiences that make you feel more alive. Summer here is magic, and this would be my dream week together:

Day 1: Settle In + Slow Start
We’d kick off the trip with a slow, beautiful brunch at The Bindery in LoHi—great food, a sunny vibe, and views of the city that feel like a proper welcome. After that, we’d meander through the *Denver Art Museum* or *Clyfford Still*, maybe stop for something sweet, and wander through Union Station just to take it all in.

Dinner that evening would be at Potager—a Denver gem tucked away in Capitol Hill with a menu that changes seasonally and always feels nourishing, both in food and ambiance. It’s intimate, cozy, and grounded in simplicity—the perfect first dinner to feel like you’ve *arrived*.

Day 2: Wellness Meets Creativity
We’d start the morning with a walk through the Denver Botanic Gardens, then head over to RiNo to see some street art, grab coffee, and check out a few local shops.

That evening is one of my favorite hidden gems: a sauna and cold plunge session with Red Rock Sauna, followed by a craft beer at Hogshead Brewery—truly the most Colorado combo you could ask for. You’ll leave feeling both totally relaxed and completely recharged.

Day 3: Boulder Escape
A quick morning drive gets us to Chautauqua for a hike (and that iconic Flatirons view), followed by brunch and some Pearl Street wandering. Maybe we duck into Cured for snacks or find a sunny patio and just hang. Boulder is easy to love, and a great mid-week exhale.

Day 4: Off to Glenwood Springs
Time to head west! We’d drive out to Glenwood Springs, stopping for mountain views and good road snacks. Once there, we’d hit some biking trails along the river, soak in one of the smaller hot springs, then find a great local spot for dinner (maybe Co. Ranch House or The Pullman). It’s an adventure day, for sure, but still laid-back.

Day 5: One Last Soak + Scenic Drive Back
Before heading back to Denver, we’d get one last mountain fix—a quiet morning hike, followed by a dip in the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool (or Iron Mountain if we’re feeling fancy). It’s the kind of day that makes you wonder why you don’t live here full-time. Then we’d make the scenic drive back to the city.

Day 6: Back in Denver

Because there’s really no better way to close out a Colorado summer trip—we’d head to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for a concert under the stars. It’s pure magic every time.

Day 7: Soft Landing
We’d ease into the final morning with breakfast at Hoja, which has the freshest Mexican food and a guava mimosa. Then take a last walk down Old South Pearl Street, which has some of the best little boutiques and vintage spots, plus plenty of coffee and people-watching.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Absolutely—I have to give a heartfelt shoutout to my sisters, Hannah and Tabitha, and my best friend Desiree. These women have been steady forces in my life through every creative chapter, career pivot, and spark of a new idea. I’m a lifelong learner and a big dreamer—I tend to move fast with inspiration and love starting things, but it’s their presence, belief, and grounded support that help me carry those ideas through.

They’ve shown up with encouragement, curiosity, and so much love—even when my path hasn’t followed a straight line. They remind me to trust the process, to take pride in the evolution, and to find meaning in the making, not just the finished product.

And the greatest shoutout goes to my amazingly creative and endlessly inspiring daughters, Leoni and Wilder, who push me every day to become the best version of myself in this life. They’re my reason, my reflection, and my most beautiful reminder of what really matters.
