Heather Goerzen was the Creative Director at Havenly, where she worked across design, content, and brand since 2017. She has held multiple roles at the company—starting as a Havenly designer, then moving into design content, editorial, and creative leadership—and she contributed to Design the Home You Love, the interior design guidebook written by Havenly co-founders Lee Mayer and Emily Motayed. Before Havenly, Heather spent years in brand strategy at The Richards Group and The Integer Group. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master's in Marketing from Texas A&M University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Her personal style is cottagecore with an English countryside edge—layered, romantic, full of pattern and print—and her 1900s Denver Tudor has been featured on the Havenly blog as a case study in refreshing a dated home without renovating.
