Found Design Studio

Established by Stacey Clarimundo, Found is an interior architecture and design studio rooted in the notion that successful design should transcend time.

As a studio we pride ourselves on listening closely to what each environment requires to reflect our client’s personality as well as their practical needs, all while staying true to our belief in multi-faceted, layered spaces.

Neither traditional nor modern, we like to live somewhere in the in-between and give credence to both.

Stacey Clarimundo

With over 18 years of experience in both commercial and residential interior architecture and design, four years after co-founding her first design firm, Stacey independently created and launched Found Design Studio in 2018. Shortly after, she and her team lovingly restored and re-imagined the 19th Century antique at 67 Main to serve as their new foundation, expanding to include a full studio space and retail offering, The Shop at Found, in 2022.

Stacey graduated from the Boston Architectural College’s School of Interior Architecture earning her Bachelor’s Degree and multiple academic awards along the way, including The Harold and Elsie M. Hurst A-1 Studio Prize in her first year and the prestigious Degree Project Studio Award in her final year. She has been NCIDQ certified since 2011, which is currently the only nationally recognized indicator of knowledge and proficiency in interior design principles.

With experience ranging from 28,000SF ground-up residential construction to multi-level full-gut renovations, Stacey brings a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and total commitment to each project. Stacey’s clients, partners and friends alike are drawn to her seemingly effortless aesthetic, deep-rooted values and magnetic authenticity.

“My environment, and being surrounded by beauty, is key to my own overall feeling of joy and happiness; I simply want to share that feeling with others.” – Stacey C.

Heather Doyle

Heather joined Found Design Studio as an Interior Designer + Project Manager in 2021. She brings ten years of multidisciplinary experience, meticulous attention to detail, and an innate ability to deliver on all points of the design sequence. She has a passion for a collaborative environment, and seeing work completed to the highest possible potential. Heather’s love for hand drawing natural elements and being in her garden bring an organic approach to her design aesthetic.

While studying Interior Architecture at The Boston Architectural College, receiving multiple awards and scholarships throughout her tenure, Heather also worked full-time assisting a five-member interior design staff at an award-winning architectural practice. After graduating Magna cum Laude at the top of her class in 2018, Heather became an Interior Designer in her own right. In addition to her design prowess, she continues to improve processes and procedures that advance the team overall.

Heather appreciates the rugged coastal beauty and rich architectural heritage of Gloucester, where she lives with her husband and two young boys.

Vivian Scherer

As Senior Designer, Vivian brings a rich and varied design background shaped by over two decades of experience. After graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University, her design journey began in New York City, where she worked in architecture, interior architecture, and retail concept design. At Aero Studios, she was immersed in a world of beautiful materials, vintage furnishings, and collaborative creativity, contributing to everything from residential interiors to large-scale development and retail concept work. She went on to lead design and project management at several notable firms, including work on private residences in Manhattan, Aspen, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard.

A move to Massachusetts brought her first to a Greater Boston residential firm, then to a Vineyard-based firm renowned for their contemporary architecture and now, happily, to Found—a well-matched discovery where her passion for thoughtful, layered spaces and capabilities in product and lighting design continue to grow. Outside of the studio, Vivian shares her life with her husband, daughter, their Aussiedoodle, a flock of chickens and a growing garden—where her creativity and dedication also thrive.

Gina Milatzo 

Gina is a passionate designer who believes deeply in the power of interiors to transform the lives of the people living within them. She has joined the Found team as Project Manager with over a decade of experience in interior design and project management. She’s worked on everything from high-end corporate offices to neighborhood retail spaces—always with an eye for detail and a knack for bringing people’s visions to life. NCIDQ-certified and skilled in architectural processes, Gina loves guiding a project from that first spark of an idea all the way through to the finishing touches. She’s a big believer in collaboration, knowing that the best solutions often come from a mix of perspectives around the table.

Outside of work, Gina is a 200-hour registered yoga teacher and a devoted pottery student—two passions that mirror her approach to design: patient, thoughtful, and hands-on. After relocating to Salem from the D.C. suburbs in 2021, Gina also enjoys getting to know the hidden gems and seasonal beauties of Essex and our surrounding North Shore communities.

Tierney Goddard

Tierney Goddard joined the Found Design team as Junior Designer in 2022 shortly after graduating from Endicott College with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Interior Architecture. Residential design was at the core of her studies, and she is a lifelong student of both architecture and design. Tierney brings passion and technical skill to the team, and believes strongly in the idea of the positive impact of a well-designed home environment.

Tierney credits her upbringing on Nantucket Island for helping her to determine her passion for a career in the field. From the whaling era Greek Revival homes and Quaker cottages of the Historic District, to the contemporary architecture that lies beyond, her early life brought no shortage of design inspiration. Now, Tierney is eager to contribute to the studio team and advance to new levels of professional design expertise.

Away from the office, Tierney appreciates the chance to explore the coastal beauty and architectural heritage of the North Shore. A good beach day with a book, cooking and spending time with family and friends also always top her list.

Corinne Colleti 

Corinne joined the studio in 2024 as Junior Designer. She approaches every project with equal parts creativity, precision, and heart. With a background in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Interior Design and Architecture, she has a knack for understanding how people live in their spaces—and how to make those spaces work beautifully for them. Her experience ranges from designing custom built-ins and bathrooms to planning entire homes from the ground up, always with an eye for both style and functionality.

Before joining Found, Corinne honed her design skills at several notable New England firms as well as in Visual Merchandising and Sales at a global home design and furnishing brand. Collaborating closely with clients and builders, Corrine works to bring ideas to life. She’s just as comfortable behind a set of AutoCAD drawings as she is walking a job site, and she thrives in a creative, collaborative environment.

Laura Austin 

Laura joined Found as a Studio Assistant in February of 2025, transitioning into the field of interiors from previous roles in florals and fine arts. She graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2013 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Sculpture. Her journey through the art world began as a fine art fabricator in cast glass, followed by a venture into new fields, including both farming and floral design.

Always surrounding herself with beauty and offering a keen sense of detail to any task, Laura has found her journey into residential design natural and seamless. Her work now bridges her artistic eye and lifelong love for old New England farmhouses, English country cottages, and sensory delights from rural and seaside landscapes alike. Laura lives with her dog and two reptiles in Cape Ann. She enjoys gardening, antiquing, adventuring with her dog, going to the beach and cookouts with friends and family.
