Designing private jets at Gulfstream and assisting in creating the aircraft company’s global design centers are just two of Ashton Taylor Oberhauser’s many accomplishments. “The job entailed extensive interaction with the world’s top entrepreneurs,” she says. “Being surrounded by such inspirational people pushed me to want to build something of my own.” Through Houston-based Ashton Taylor Interiors, she now works to give her clients what she describes as “a curated backdrop to an enhanced lifestyle.” Here are a few of her top design finds for doing just that.
