Antiquing with her mother later on, she says, \u201cI was drawn to incorporating one-of-a-kind pieces that add character, creating spaces that feel elegant and refined yet livable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Galiani founded her namesake firm in 2008. She brings more than 30 years of experience to her practice, which specializes in large-scale renovations and new home construction. Galiani and her design associate, Kayla Williams, collaborate on every project. \u201cOur spaces are memorable and thoughtfully tailored to reflect the personalities of our clients,\u201d Galiani shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">GDG highlights a relationship-based approach, working closely with clients to understand their aesthetic preferences, lifestyle and personal story. \u201cWe don\u2019t lead with style trends, but with people,\u201d Galiani notes. \u201cI love it when someone looks around a space I have completed and uses the same words the client originally used to describe their vision. That\u2019s when I know I have succeeded.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2025, <i>Architectural Digest<\/i> included Galiani Design Group on its Design Excellence in DC list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>See more at HandD.com\/GalianiDesignGroup<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4350,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"designer-categories":[3],"designer-specialties":[7,13,10,9,15],"class_list":["post-424","designer","type-designer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","designer_category-interior-design","designer_specialty-build-remodel-renovation","designer_specialty-custom-home","designer_specialty-modern","designer_specialty-traditional","designer_specialty-transitional"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designers\/424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/designer"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"designer_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer-categories?post=424"},{"taxonomy":"designer_specialty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer-specialties?post=424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
