About me
Hi, I’m Zia.
I’m an interior designer and decorator who works almost exclusively with real-estate investors. I started Zia Havens because I kept seeing great deals leave money on the table — finishes that didn’t appraise, layouts that didn’t photograph, and budgets blown on the wrong things.
My approach is simple: design to the deal. Whether you’re flipping for ARV, refinancing a BRRRR, or furnishing a short-term rental, I plan every finish, fixture, and styling choice around your exit strategy and your numbers.
When I’m not on a job site or sourcing, you’ll find me [add a personal detail here — a hobby, where you live, what you love about the work].
My philosophy
Good design should pay for itself. Every choice I make is weighed against three things: does it raise value, does it hold up to the next tenant or guest, and does it photograph the way your buyer or renter expects.
I work to investor budgets, not magazine budgets. That means repeatable specs, durable finishes, and sourcing lists your contractor can actually execute — so the install goes smooth and the numbers still work.
“Design is the cheapest way to add value to a property — if you do it before the drywall goes up.”
