This is The York&Co.

Hello, I'm Gabe – and This Is The York & Co.

Every space has a story. And this is mine.

I’ve always believed that the places we live, work, and gather in should spark joy, tell our stories, and feel like us — whether that means a cozy holiday mantel, a bold wallpaper moment, or a perfectly styled shelf that somehow makes everything feel just right.

Design, for me, has always been more than just aesthetics. It’s personal. It’s emotional. It’s about helping people walk into a room and feel like they’ve arrived.

Before launching The York & Co., I spent years in the world of retail, design, and visual merchandising — leading teams, designing store layouts, and helping brands tell their stories through space. I’ve worked with national retailers, boutique shops, homeowners, builders, and creatives. I’ve also taken time away to focus on family and health, a chapter that reminded me how much joy I find in creating. That pause gave me clarity and, ultimately, the push to start something of my own.

At the heart of it all is my family. My husband Brian and I have been together for 25 years, and we’ve lived in 18 different homes — yes, 18! From Kansas City to DC, St. Louis to Minneapolis, we’ve packed, unpacked, decorated, and redesigned more times than I can count. But no matter where the moving truck lands, we’ve always made it home. We now have two amazing teenagers and a shared love of travel, food, and finding beauty wherever we go. And while we’ve had many zip codes, Kansas City has always been the place our hearts return to.

The York & Co. is the result of all of that — the professional experience, the personal journey, and the passion I have for creating spaces that feel beautiful, intentional, and one-of-a-kind. We offer interior design, decorating, and real estate services — all with a focus on storytelling and thoughtful transformation.

Whether you’re moving into a new home, dreaming up your next chapter, refreshing your favorite room, or just need someone to help you see what’s possible — that’s where we come in.

This blog is a place where I’ll share inspiration, behind-the-scenes looks at projects, favorite finds, and lessons learned along the way. But for now, I just wanted to say hi, introduce myself, and thank you for being here.

Here’s to beautiful beginnings —
