Based in Portland, Oregon, Jody Stager is known for creating thoughtfully designed spaces that balance beauty with functionality. Drawing inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s diverse landscapes and natural beauty, her aesthetic effortlessly combines sophistication with approachability, resulting in timeless, comfortable interiors that reflect her clients’ tastes and lifestyles.

Influenced by her Midwest roots and a family of artists and storytellers, Jody’s longstanding passion for the field of design began with a career in public relations and was later fueled as she spent over a decade working alongside talented creatives, craftsman, architects and designers as a lighting consultant on interior projects throughout Oregon and California. Jody honed her skills and expanded her focus, developing a fresh perspective on classic design that ultimately led to the founding of Ryan & Welch Interiors.

Specializing in both residential and commercial spaces, Jody takes a personalized and collaborative client-focused approach to each project. Whether it’s a small update or a full-scale transformation, she works closely with clients to understand their vision, creating unique and inviting environments that tell a story.
