About Us

Inside a new home construction with mountain views

Luxury Interiors Rooted in the Pacific Northwest

Neff Designs is a luxury interior design studio based in the Columbia River Gorge, known for curating refined, modern mountain homes with a strong sense of place. Our work balances elevated design with deep functionality, creating warm, livable spaces that reflect the rhythm of the landscape and the lifestyle of our clients.

Led by Ashley Neff-Hinkle, principal designer and fourth-generation Gorge local, our studio draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Ashley’s design process is shaped by a lifelong love of the outdoors, strong ties to local artisans and trades, and a commitment to crafting timeless spaces with soul.

Each Project Begins With Lifestyle at the Forefront

From large-scale renovations to custom new builds, Ashley is known for designing homes with distinct focal features that express both her clients’ style and her own thoughtful perspective. Whether perched high above the valley or nestled along the river, every space is anchored in its environment—and infused with comfort, clarity, and beauty.
