OUR STORY

 

The Beginning:

FMYH started in 2018 as a creative passion project beyond the limits of corporate design—a blog, a mood board, a place to explore and escape.

Over time, conversations became collaborations, and what began as a personal outlet grew into a professional practice.

Fancy Meeting You Here…

The name Fancy Meeting You Here reflects the unexpected intersections of life—the moments when people, places, and ideas converge.

It’s a phrase that has followed our founder for years and continues to shape how we approach design: as a process of discovery and connection.

Where Are We Now?

Today, Fancy Meeting You Here is a full-service interior design practice partnering with purpose-driven business owners, organizations, and developers to create intentional, adaptable places.
