Debbie Diershaw’s journey in the world of design is a testament to her passion and adaptability. Born and raised in Madison, Indiana, she developed an early interest in art and décor, which led her to establish D.S. Heath and Company. This venture allowed her to explore her creativity through gifts, decorator items, and macramé, as well as to share her knowledge through classes.
In 1977, a significant life change took her to Anchorage, Alaska. Here, while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood, Debbie initially set aside her professional aspirations in décor. However, the breathtaking Alaskan landscape and vibrant cultural influences reignited her passion. What started as a personal hobby quickly evolved into a thriving practice as she began designing spaces for friends and family. Her natural talent and eye for design soon caught the attention of local businesses, leading her to take on commercial projects.
Encouraged by the support of her community, Debbie founded Ambiance, a name that reflects her commitment to creating inviting and stylish environments. Over the years, her dedication and skill propelled her to work full-time in the interior design field, where she honed her expertise and developed a distinctive style that resonates with her clients.
In 2000, Debbie relocated to Texas, where she embraced a new chapter in her life and career. She fell in love with the vibrant culture and dynamic design scene of her new home. Her business continued to flourish, expanding to encompass not just interior decorating but also remodeling, painting, and custom piece creation.
Debbie’s approach is client-centered; she understands that decorating can often feel overwhelming. With over 30 years of experience under her belt, she strives to make the design process exciting and seamless. Her ability to listen to her clients’ needs and visions has garnered her a loyal clientele across the United States. Many of her projects come through referrals from satisfied customers, a testament to her talent and dedication.
Today, Debbie Diershaw is not just a designer; she is a trusted partner in creating personalized spaces that reflect her clients’ unique tastes and lifestyles. Whether transforming a cozy home or a commercial office, her mission remains the same: to craft beautiful, functional environments that inspire and delight.
