About Anne McDonald Design
Anne McDonald Design (AMD) is a Minneapolis-based interior design studio creating warm, liveable spaces throughout the country. Founder and principal Anne McDonald draws on her nature-filled Mississippi River Valley upbringing as a builder’s daughter and her Master of Fine Arts degree in eco-architecture to balance form and function in every project, which she leads from start to finish.
McDonald’s perspective is informed, too, by her first interior design job working for an historic paint colorist. She masterfully curates rich, satisfying palettes, whether the space calls for monochromatic neutrals or jewel tones. Bringing in texture and patina to both historic and contemporary homes, she meticulously-sources vintage and antique pieces that celebrate and honor original features, and creates timelessness in new homes.
Keenly sensitive to her surroundings, McDonald digs into the details that make a room special, focusing on materiality and craft, scale and flow, lighting and color. Her Midwestern sensibility fosters warmth and approachability in all her projects; realized through classic design principles and a focus on architecture as the foundation.
A member of The Expert Top 40 every year since its inception and one of Architectural Digest’s New American Voices of 2024, McDonald’s spaces have been published in the New York Times, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, 1stDibs Introspective, and more.
