About Us

Abbey Duncan and Melissa Abbey-Duncan form a dynamic mother-daughter design duo, driven by their shared passion for creating inviting and aesthetically pleasing spaces.

Abbey's love for design blossomed during her youth while assisting her mother, Melissa, in renovating their family homes. Armed with a Bachelor of Interior Design and a minor in Architecture from Texas Tech University, Abbey embarked on her professional journey at an esteemed interior design firm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There, she refined her expertise in luxury residential design. However, the chilly Wyoming climate and distance from her loved ones prompted Abbey to return to her roots in Texas, where she co-founded Abbey Duncan Design with Melissa.

Melissa, on the other hand, has always been drawn to the transformative power of renovation and restoration in design. With a knack for updating properties for profit and a hands-on approach to projects, Melissa relocated to Fredericksburg in 2019. She finds inspiration in the diverse architectural styles of Texas homes. Melissa holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Business, along with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from San Angelo State University. Following nearly two decades as a certified media specialist in the public school system, Melissa decided to pursue her true passion by joining forces with Abbey in their exciting new venture.
