Rooted in Design Made to Last

Studio Black Oak was founded on the belief that great design should feel grounded, enduring, and intentional.

The black oak tree is known for its strength, density, and longevity. It grows steadily, developing resilience over time. That quiet strength reflects how we approach our work: thoughtful, disciplined, and built to last. There is a quiet authority to a mature oak. It creates presence without excess and establishes a sense of place.

That significance resonates deeply with how we think about interiors. A well-designed home should feel rooted and confident, not decorative for decoration’s sake. It should carry depth, purpose, and permanence.

Our goal is to create homes that feel established from the moment you walk in and continue to evolve beautifully for years to come.

NCIDQ – LEED ID+C

Larissa’s path to interior design was anything but ordinary. She first earned her law degree, a journey that sharpened her problem-solving skills and taught her to see challenges from every angle. But it wasn’t long before she realized her true passion was creating beautiful, functional spaces. That discovery led her back to school to earn a degree in Interior Design followed by her NCIDQ certification, blending her analytical background with formal design training to build a career centered on transforming homes. After years of experience with prestigious design firms, Larissa launched SBO to offer clients detail-oriented spaces that not only look great but also make everyday life easier and more intentional.
