About Isle Designs
Isle Designs is a full-service interior design studio based on Nantucket Island. Our services include project conception, project management, budgeting, interior architecture and design, drafting and modeling, procurement of fixtures and furnishings, and the logistics of receiving and installation.
Isle Designs was founded by two designers, Heather Kennedy Magbie & Christine Perkins, united by a shared passion for spaces that feel timeless, livable, and distinctly personal. From complete renovations and new construction to room-by-room designs and custom furnishings, we bring thoughtful design to every project.
Our work reflects a refined coastal aesthetic layered with modern and eclectic accents, honoring each home's architecture and character while tailoring every detail to the way our clients truly live. We take a hands-on approach to every project from concept to completion, prioritizing clear communication, thoughtful design, and efficient project management so the process is as seamless as the final result, and each space feels like an authentic extension of who you are.

Heather Kennedy Magbie
With a BFA in Environmental & Interior Design from Syracuse University, Heather brings a refined coastal sensibility to every project. Raised on the coast of Maine, she draws inspiration from the textures, tones, and authentic character of New England living. She crafts spaces that feel grounded and timeless, rooted in the beauty of their surroundings.
Christine Perkins
Christine has built her design career on Nantucket, transforming island homes through thoughtful renovation and considered design choices. Originally from the British Isles, she brings a worldly perspective and a refined eye for detail that sets her work apart. The result is spaces that feel polished and personal, sophisticated, and yet always warmly inviting.
