Charene Potts - Designer
Charene’s style is largely influenced by her childhood growing up in Jamaica and St. Vincent & the Grenadines, however, her intense love for design, and all the creative wonders it can bring to an otherwise ordinary space, began on a visit to an estate home on the island of Mustique in which the living room was built around a large boulder found on site. Her diverse aesthetic deepened as she traveled throughout the Caribbean, the US, and especially during her studies and time living in France.
With a background in education and degrees in Broadcast Journalism, Romance Languages, and French Literature, Charene later formalized her passion for interiors with an A.S. in Interior Design.
Now based in Vienna, VA with her husband and three children, Charene is thrilled to bring her experiences and perspective to the Church & Mill team. Charene enjoys creating stylish and functional spaces that reflect her clients’ unique story. She loves getting to know people and brings an infectious warmth and enthusiasm to her work. When she isn’t in the studio or taking care of her family, you can find her in the garden, traveling, volunteering at Green Hedges School or on long walks around the Town of Vienna with her dog, Pepper.
