Our Mission
We create warm, textural homes designed for real life—layered spaces that feel personal. From primary residences to destination retreats, we design with intention, creating environments that are inviting and ready to be lived in.
Courtney Heaton
Founder + Principal Designer
A Texas girl living in the big city! Lover of all things that make life easier and prettier! Flea market shopper with an iced tea addiction. Give me some tasty tacos & a spicy margarita with a salted rim and I’m a happy girl. I have 3 teenage daughters who keep me in check and a husband who puts up with my constant re-arranging of furniture. I love nothing more than a new project and creative solutions. I might have too many candles, lamps, baskets, and cozy blankets. I bring home stray furniture instead of animals and am always on the hunt for a good find!
Meet the Design Team
Kerri Gonzalez
Lead Designer
Born and raised on the California peninsula, I earned my BFA in Interior Design and completed my NCIDQ credentials in 2019. I love creating residential interiors with a California cool feel, layering in natural materials and fun pops of color. At home in Pacifica, I share life with my husband and two cats. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me baking sweet treats or enjoying a yarn craft, from crochet to cross stitch.

A native San Franciscan, I bring over 25 years of real estate experience to Heaton & Co., including commercial real estate brokerage, construction management, and principal investment. I have a passion for value-add opportunities and enjoy helping clients bring thoughtful home improvements to life through a clear, well-managed process. Outside of work, I enjoy everything outdoors, and spending time with my three daughters and talented wife.
