Whitney Anderson Rooney is an artist and interior design consultant specializing in residential projects in the Cleveland, OH area. She began designing by diving head-first into a home for her and her husband in Cleveland’s historic Ohio City neighborhood. She specializes in new construction, renovation, and decorating.
She is also an artist working in both acrylic and oil mediums with a particular focus on figurative portraits that depict vices, nonchalance, and at times surrealism. She also has collections of abstract work, mosaic objects, and original apparel.
Whitney has her Master’s in Urban Studies from Cleveland State University and her Bachelor’s in International Affairs from Florida State University. She is a native of Tampa, FL and has been a Clevelander since 2009.
In terms of design, my personal aesthetic is pretty eclectic. I love natural materials, high contrast, organic styling, and a juxtaposition of new and old. I don’t want my design projects to be immediately recognizable. I design to the client and hope there’s more commonality in the styles and elements you won’t find in my work than what you do. My favorite clients are those who really lean into their personal style.
