I'm so excited this week to share my interview with 28 Black Tastemaker Demetrius Robinson class of 2021. Demetrius is the Founder and Creative Director of AT HOME WITH SAVVY. He is an interior designer, photographer, avid baker + home cook, tastemaker and visual story teller.

I’m so excited this week to share my interview with 28 Black Tastemaker Demetrius Robinson class of 2021. I discovered Demetrius on social media a year ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I knew that this year we would have to connect because I wanted to learn more about his approach to interior design. So often on Instagram, I see Demetrius doing reels and IGTV of his daily photo shoots at his home or a recent client installation, and  I really wanted to know how does he manage it all? 

I also wanted to get his take on being a Black man in the interior design industry, and what has helped him succeed in the industry. Lastly, we discuss some recent interior design trends from Elle Decor, and get Demetrius’ thoughts on whether he loves it or hates it.

Spanning from design, food + cocktails to entertaining, there’s value within this community for each and every one of you!  Demetrius, the Founder and Creative Director at AT HOME WITH SAVVY is an interior designer, photographer, avid baker + home cook, tastemaker and visual story teller. His blog is a fusion of all of his passions; interior design, food, entertaining and photography!

Since heading his Chicago based interior design firm back in 2016, Demetrius has become known for his very edgy, distinctive black + white design aesthetic, ability to mix high-low items as well as items from different eras and design styles.

Demetrius currently lives just outside of Indianapolis, IN with his partner and two dogs, Gabbie (Jack Russell Terrier) and Zoey (Toy Poodle). When he is not creating content for the blog, he  can be found building his photography + videography production company, curled up on the sofa with a good book or out hitting the pavement! Demetrius has become obsessed with running and usually go for a run every morning before coffee.
