MARY BAUDE
OWNER & PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

mary@shoppewhitetail.com

With over 25 years experience in the design industry, Mary has honed her craft and built a brand of her aesthetic. Whitetail has served design clients across the Midwest and beyond, bringing Mary's signature style to each project. 

A Muskegon native, Mary spent years moving around the country with her family, eventually settling back in her home state to create Whitetail in 2016. 

Since then, Whitetail has grown into a full-service design firm and showroom, employing a talented all-female team with Mary at its helm. Mary's passion for creating environments that are as beautiful as they are welcoming has remained steadfast throughout Whitetail's evolution. 

Mary's favorite thing about creating "home" is ...

"Knowing that my family and/or clients will always feel welcome, safe, and relaxed. To me, being rested, inspired, and rejuvenated from our homes is essential. Keeping that intention in mind when designing homes allows me/my clients to navigate life more easily, smoothly, and beautifully. I am grateful for the opportunity to help create those purposeful and stylish havens!"
