Layla S. Altman

 After spending her childhood in Miami, Florida and then later finishing her education in Atlanta, Layla developed her own style early on, influenced by the clean lines and sophisticated details of stylish South Beach and historic Atlanta architecture. After completing her degree at The Atlanta College of Art with a BA in Interior Design, Layla started her career in midtown Atlanta. She was employed by a well sought after design firm who’s focus was on corporate, educational, medical and high-end residential design. Layla’s design management experience includes projects for companies such as BMW, Coca-Cola, Cingular Wireless and Emory University. Designing interiors for the homes of Atlanta executives sparked her passion for Residential design, which continues today. Layla’s work has been featured on Southern Living Presents television show, published in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, as well as the Grand Strand’s local magazine Coastal Carolina HomeStyles.

After designing interiors for over 10 years, Layla recently took the plunge to become a business owner/partner with Kerry Ann Dame, who owned & operated Bungalow Heaven for 7 years along the Grand Strand. Layla’s stone & tile designs, furniture layouts and custom millwork are created using Autocad for her clients. Her involvement in the design process from the pre-construction phase through the completion of the interiors results in a cohesive and less stressful experience for the client. She resides in Georgetown, SC with her husband, son and two dogs. She can be contacted at Layla@poshsurfside.com
