Elevated Living’s storefront might have a new location, but the firm is one of Jackson Hole’s legacy design studios. Founded in 1983 by Pamela Stockton, the firm has been led by Melinda Shirk Dorian since 2010. “Having this extensive history in Jackson Hole has allowed us to curate a talented and trusted network of artisans and subcontractors,” says senior designer Dawn Abrecht. “The firm has spent decades collaborating with local design professionals in order to curate one-of-a-kind spaces that reflect regional design aesthetics.

Elevated Living has deep relationships, locally and with luxury sources around the world. “We pride ourselves on really listening to our clients. It’s important their home represents their personality and lifestyle,” says senior designer Lisa Hatcher. “The firm’s trusted vendors and subcontractors are skilled in wallpaper, installations, custom upholstery, window treatment fabricators, cabinets, installs, and custom furniture.” The success of Elevated Living is in partnerships not only with its trade vendors, but with its referral partners. Trust in a referral from realtors, architects, and contractors is something we value as our great accomplishment. “New client referrals through word of mouth shows us that our clients love our work and they want to share the experience,” Hatcher says. “We aspire to make every project seamless and enjoyable.”

Clients also appreciate Elevated Living’s ability to accomplish beauty and practicality in their interiors across a wide range of styles. Abrecht says, “We achieve our clients’ design desires whether it be the classic Jackson style or a very modern home. We very much enjoy the diversity in our projects.”

Seating for all. Sectional comfort with a sophisticated vibe allows family entertainment with room for guests.

The showroom in Jackson “represents only a snapshot of design vignettes,” Hatcher says. “Our vast resource library enables us to provide endless possibilities and unexpected surprises for our clients!”
