Meet the
in Detail team

Meet Cheryl

Poobah, Rainmaker, and Creative Chief

Cheryl Clendenon is an irreverent interior designer with 26 years of full-time, nonstop industry experience and the principal of a thriving design firm known for thoughtful, highly detailed work. Before running a studio of six professionals, Cheryl built an early career in media and radio sales—an education in communication, persuasion, and human behavior that continues to shape how she approaches design, clients, and complex projects.

A natural contrarian with a fast pace and sharp insight, Cheryl is known for questioning assumptions that don’t hold up in practice. Her work centers on flow, function, and visualizing how a home will live and evolve over time—not just how it will look on reveal day.

Cheryl was named KBB Person of the Year in 2021, is a nationally published writer with a monthly column in Home Accents Today, and has been featured in more than 80 publications including House Beautiful, Fine Homebuilding, Southern Living, and Better Homes & Gardens.

She lives on a tiny barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast with her extraordinarily patient husband Randy, two dogs, and one deeply opinionated cat.

Meet Liz

VP of Operations and the
“Get it Done” Work Wife

Clients ranging from San Diego to the Jersey shore and all along the Gulf Coast have embraced Liz Lapan, the woman behind the woman who gets “it” done.
 
An accomplished designer in her own right with a fantastic sense of color & pattern, Liz can wear the designer hat in the morning and the project manager hat at noon and return to the office, being the ultimate manager of all things. You have never met a woman like Liz-o-matic! Clients love her, subs respect her, and the team adores her.
 
If you are ready to embrace trusting the process, Liz might bake you a blueberry buckle thingy (she is from New Hampshire—we call it a cobbler here in the South, but it is tasty—whatever a Yankee might call it!) 

Meet Libby

VP of Design Studio • Candle Studio Director 

Libby is a lead designer and wiz at delivering the creative vision to our clients in our presentations through 3D rendering.

She is the driving force behind the design of all of our projects, has a great creative eye, and brings a unique perspective to the team – the apple didn’t fall far from the tree from our owner Cheryl, who happens to be her mother!

Libby lives with her husband Jake, dog people Goose and Birdie and a sweet baby girl. 

Meet Stephanie

Director of Damn Good Designer

Stephanie found In Detail on a drive through town when she first moved to Pensacola 12 years ago and it ended up being her first full time Interior Design job out of college.
 
She worked in person with In Detail for almost two years until she started having kids and has since moved across the country twice and currently resides in North Carolina (for now!) with her Marine husband and three children.
 
For the past 4 years she has been working remotely in various roles utilizing her classically trained design skills to more recently heading the business coaching department. 
 
Stephanie loves a good system and thrives on organization. Creativity is in her core and it is apparent in all that she contributes to our team. 
 
 

 

Meet Savannah

Design Team Liaison • Operations Assistant

Hailing from Arkansas, Savannah has worked alongside many Designers in her hometown of Little Rock through her former place of work, Cobblestone & Vine. With a natural eye for design and her design education, she has accumulated many talents and tactics to bring charm to any space. She has expanded her creativity by a consistent effort to always try new things and gain as much knowledge as possible.

With an outgoing personality and passion for building strong relationships with those around her, she has made her way to Florida to embark on a new journey! She finds comfort in spending time with family, friends, and her two pets, Charlie and Louis. 

Did we mention we work anywhere?
Vacation home in another city?
A new build in another state?
A chateau in France?
Call us RIGHT NOW, PLEASE.

Top to bottom, front to back. Over and under. We deliver a comprehensive design experience like no other.

That is our guarantee to you.
