Meet Lilian Gomide
Founder & Principal Designer, InnJoy Design

​

Design is more than my profession—it is my lifelong passion. As the founder and lead designer of InnJoy Design, I approach every project with a deep commitment to creating spaces that are not only beautiful but meaningful. My work is inspired by the belief that exceptional design should reflect the essence of those who live in it, evoking joy, harmony, and a sense of belonging.

 

My journey began in Brazil, a country rich in culture, color, and expressive forms. From an early age, I was drawn to the power of aesthetics to shape how we feel. My parents nurtured this curiosity, inviting me to design elements of our first home—from custom built-ins to tile and stone selections. I still remember how thrilled I was when my bold idea to use granite on the stairs transformed our entryway into a statement of elegance. That experience ignited a passion that has guided me ever since.

 

For over two decades, I’ve called Raleigh, North Carolina home. Here, I’ve built a life grounded in family and creativity. I’m proud to share this journey with my husband, our two incredible children, and our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Benjamin.
