M Hunt MacWilliams INTERIOR DESIGNER [ PHOTOGRAPHY: ROBB MOST Hunt MacWilliams Huntington House Interiors 90 Melrose Place, Redwood City 650.363.2042 650.678.1321 cellphone hunt@huntingtonhouseinteriors.com huntingtonhouseinteriors.com Why did you choose to pursue this line of work? I went to business school first, then realized I’m so much more of a creative than a numbers person. I thought at one point I was going to be an architect, but I didn’t want to be chained to a desk all day doing blueprints. As an interior designer, I’m in a different house a couple times a day, so it’s always a different experience for me. I love that no two jobs or two clients are the same. What brings you joy living on the Peninsula? The cities are so diverse here. I can go from Hillsborough, where there’s big, stately homes, then I can drive down to Menlo Park where they’re more ranchstyle homes. I can go out to Portola Valley in 15 minutes, and I’ll feel like I’m out in the country. We design differently depending on where we’re working. What is the style of your own home? It’s what I’d call an eclectic look. Very clean lines, contemporary furniture and fun art on the walls. I have a yellow living room and a red dining room. I’m not scared of color! A lot of my clients have reached out because they know that about me. NOTA B L E MEN PHOTOGRAPHY: IRENE SEARLES
