Michelle Doughtie
Owner / Principle
Michelle graduated in 1995 from Auburn University with a degree in Interior Design. She worked for a large Interior Design firm in Atlanta for nine years - working on residential projects around the country. After she started a family in 2001, she took a professional break to stay home with her three children. In 2011 she founded Schilling & Company to get back into the creative world and offering a full-service Interior Design experience for her clients that is tailored specifically to their needs and aesthetic. Nothing is better than walking into a home they have designed and seeing the lifestyle and personality of the client illustrated in the decor. Schilling & Co. has projects all over the Southeast - from Buckhead to the beaches of South Walton, their goal is to create a home that is a reflection of the client and bring their vision to life.
Katelyn Walden Reaves
Lead Designer / Project Manager
After graduating Auburn University in 2017 with an Interior Design degree as well as Art History, Katelyn moved to Atlanta to begin her design career. Following an internship at a large Atlanta design firm, she started with Michelle at Schilling & Co. where she has been for the past five years. Katelyn’s favorite part of design is realizing that what they create is livable art that can be fully enjoyed and experienced rather than just admired from a distance. She loves watching these projects take on their own personality in the process of becoming clients’ homes. If you need her, you can find her getting most of her work done with a good cup of coffee while listening to Ben Howard.

Designer / Project Manager
Kat is an Atlanta native who graduated from the University of Georgia in 2018 with a degree in Interior Design from The Lamar Dodd school of Art. She returned home to her roots to pursue a career in residential design with a Buckhead designer before joining the Schilling & Co. design team. Kat has been with Schilling for two years now and says the most rewarding part of the job is delivering a space that feels personal yet elevated to the client and creating homes they are proud to show off and spend time in. Kat thrives in the high pace hustle and bustle of the job which is why you can always find her smiling and laughing throughout the entire design process!
