Callie Russo
Principal Designer & Owner
Callie Russo founded Callie Russo Designs on a simple belief—that your home should be a true reflection of how you want to live.
Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Callie’s path to design was shaped by a deep love for people and culture. Before finishing her degree at Ole Miss, she took a meaningful pause to spend time in Africa doing missionary work—an experience that deepened her perspective on community, connection, and what truly makes a place feel like home. Guided by her Texas family roots, she eventually moved to Austin in 2012 and has never looked back.
After years of designing beautiful spaces across the city, Callie has learned that the best interiors are never about following trends. They are about understanding the person who lives there. Whether you are drawn to clean lines and quiet luxury or warm, layered spaces full of personality, Callie brings a classic, refined eye and a dedicated heart to every project.
Breda Arredondo
Operations & Project Manager
Originally from Singapore, Breda moved to Austin in 2012 and earned her degree in Biology from St. Edward’s University. It was there that she developed a deep appreciation for native plants, sustainable landscapes, and structural design—qualities that heavily influence her refined aesthetic today.
Breda joined Callie Russo Designs in 2024, bringing an incredible eye for detail, a passion for construction, and impeccable organizational skills to the team. Driven by her love for cohesive environments, her unique vision inspired the firm to expand into landscape design. By seamlessly blending interior aesthetics with outdoor elements and utilizing native plants, she helps clients create beautifully curated, balanced spaces inside and out
“Callie and her team helped us turn our outdated powder bath and staircase into a beautifully elegant space we love to show off! She patiently went through about a thousand wallpaper and material samples with us! We’re thrilled with the upgrade and look forward to working with CRD again!”

“Callie’s attention to detail went a long way with our mudroom remodel. She was very thoughtful and consultative with ensuring the space was the most functional for our lifestyle. The project turned out beautifully, thanks to her guidance on design selections aligning with my style. We loved working with her and will be recommending her to anyone needing a designer!”
