Meet the Moore House Interiors Team
We might be biased but we think our team here at Moore House Interiors is pretty dang awesome! We’re all a bunch of passionate, hard-working, Jesus-loving moms, wives and entrepreneurs who find joy in being creative and helping others through design. And to make it even better, we are more than co-workers, we’re all close friends! There is a lot of work that happens behind the scenes and we’ll admit it, we’re not great at sharing who we are and getting personal. So we decided it was time to let you get to know us better! We’d planned on doing this when we made time for team headshots and photos but Coronavirus threw a kink in that so we’re just keeping it real and sharing some family photos instead.

Ashley Moore, Owner + Principal Designer
Where are you from? I’m originally from Crandall, Texas and attended Texas A&M University. I now live in Tomball, Texas, where MHI is based, with my husband of almost 11 years and our two kids.
How did you get involved in design? My love for design started at a young age! Growing up, I was always redecorating my room, watching Sarah Richardson with my mom before HGTV was cool and designing furniture with my Paw Paw. When my husband and I bought our home in Tomball, it needed a full overhaul. My husband let me do it all and I completely fell in love with the process while learning so much. Friends started asking for help and MHI was born!
Favorite part of design work? I love getting to know the families we work with as we design their homes and create spaces where they will live life and create memories with their loved ones. The reveal is always so fun, but my favorite part is designing things that are personal to the family—whether it’s using grandma’s china or displaying grandpa’s artwork. I love finding a way to use the pieces that mean the most to the family & making it work with our designs.
What’s your personal style? I love mixing the old and the new to create a space that reflects our family. Not too modern, not too traditional. Clean, functional and classic!
What are your hobbies? I love to read and be outdoors. I love to go dancing and entertain family and friends.
Favorite food? Favorite drink? Mexican but sushi is a close second! Currently, my favorite drink is ranch water!
Favorite place to travel? Anywhere in the mountains. Love Colorado.
Must-have home item(s)? Vintage breadboards and Capri Blue candle!
Krissy Shaffer, Operations Manager
Where are you from? I’m from Tomball and live there now with my husband of 9 years, Kyle, and our two boys, Korbin (8) & Kallum (5).
What brought you to MHI? I started following MHI on Instagram and had several friends tell me I should work for Ashley. I met Ashley at both a PTO meeting and church, not realizing she was THAT Ashley Moore! Ashley approached me and asked if I wanted to work for her so we met for coffee and crepes and here I am! TOTALLY a God thing.
Favorite part of design work? I love being able to take the dreams of both the designers and clients and figure out all the twists and turns of logistics to make those come to life! I love seeing our client’s reaction when they walk into their home and see those web photos and fabric swatches have come to life as sofas they will get to cuddle up on or stain samples that have become dining tables that will host lifetimes of memories. That is the most rewarding thing I have been apart of!
What’s your personal style? My personal style is a mixture between traditional, farmhouse and a little modern. I love texture and mixing materials (wood, metal, upholstery, woven’s) but mostly, I gravitate towards things that will hold up to the daily beating that comes with life in a house of growing boys!
What are your hobbies? I love to travel - hiking the mountains and exploring outdoors is where I recharge! My family has a goal to see all 50 US States before our youngest leaves for college.
Favorite place to travel? Anywhere with mountains! I enjoy the beach but I am a sucker for a mountain view. To date, our favorite place is Utah.
Favorite food and drink? My favorite food is a toss up between Thai, Sushi or Mexican! Quite the mix but it would be like picking a favorite child! Celebrations in our house revolve around food & my husband and I love trying new cuisine! Favorite Drink.... I run on iced coffee and red wine, with Topo Chico in between!
Must-have home item(s)?Thieves Cleaner, it’s a MUST! It removes stains, disinfects and smells like Christmas. Also love The Defined Dish cookbook!

Katie Holz, Assistant Designer
Where are you from? Born and raised in Houston. Took a slight detour in College Station and currently live in Hockley, Texas with my husband and our three daughters.
What brought you to MHI? God placed Ashley in my life in 2016 when our kiddos were in preschool together. I had just had our second daughter and was in need for some creativity in my life! MHI was truly an answer to prayer for me!
Favorite part of design work? I love to see our designs come together and the happiness that it brings a family. Creating intentional spaces for memories to be had is truly a joy.
What’s your personal style? My personal style is French country. I gravitate towards color and femininity. Although my husband would beg to differ, but I have learned over the years that sometimes less is more!
What are your hobbies? My hobbies are scouring antique shops for treasures, endless Round Top trips (say that fast 5 times), and gardening. The flower kind, not the food.
Favorite drink? My drink of choice is anything infused with jalapeño. I also love a good solid coke. Yes, classic coke!
Favorite place to travel? Favorite place to travel would be to the Texas Hill Country. I have been all over the world, but have realized I don’t like to fly… so a good ol’ drive makes for a great trip!
Must have home item(s)? One of my favorite house things is my screen door off my kitchen. Love having it open and hearing the outdoors!

Where are you from? I’m originally from Washington State. My family all lives in Washington and Idaho! I now live in Hempstead, Texas with my husband, Kolton. We’re expecting our first baby—a boy—in August and we are over the moon!
What brought you to MHI? I met Ashley at a St. Patrick’s Day crawfish boil in 2018 and loved her clear passion for her business. I was so inspired by her, I reached out to see if she was hiring. A few months later, I quit my corporate job and joined MHI! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and truly answered prayers in many ways.
Favorite part of design work? I love being creative and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. But I think working with clients and helping them is by far the most rewarding part! It’s incredible to see a home come to life through the eyes of our clients and I feel so fortunate to have a small part in that.
What’s your personal style? I think my personal style is still developing, but I love neutral, earthy colors, linen and natural elements like stone and aged wood.
What are your hobbies? I love to cook, garden, exercise, spend time with my husband and our dogs and be outside!
Favorite place to travel? My favorite place to be is in the mountains! I grew up ranching, riding horses, skiing, hiking and loving the outdoors. Sun Valley, Idaho is easily my favorite. It’s been part of my family for over 3 generations and it’s where my husband and I, as well as my parents, were married.
Favorite food and drink? I love a good steak, Mexican food, sushi and authentic Italian food (specifically homemade pasta). I can’t pick a favorite! My drink of choice these days is Chick-Fil-A Diet Lemonade but I’m really looking forward to a glass of rosé or jalapeño margarita after baby arrives!
Must-have home item(s)? I love Caldrea’s Linen + Room Spray, the Sea Salt Neroli is my favorite scent. OxiClean White Revive is another must-have for me. It keeps all our towels and sheets bright white and smells so clean!
