ABOUT Me
I’m Holly Becker, founder of decor8, a design and lifestyle platform I launched in 2006 that grew into one of the world’s most widely read design blogs. Over the past twenty years, decor8 has evolved into a multifaceted creative business spanning publishing, education, podcasting, product collaborations, live events, workshops, and online courses.
I’m an American bestselling author based in Hannover, Germany, and the author of four design books translated into 20 languages; first book, DECORATE, has sold 300k copies worldwide. Through my writing, teaching, and design work, I’ve had the privilege of reaching a global audience and building a vibrant creative community.
In addition to leading decor8, I work as an interior and concept designer, course creator, keynote speaker, moderator, photographer, and consultant for creative brands and entrepreneurs who want to build meaningful, lasting businesses. My work spans Europe and the United States and focuses on shaping spaces, strengthening brands, and helping people connect more deeply to their creativity.
As one of the early pioneers in design blogging, I’ve written more than 4,000 posts and, at the height of decor8, welcomed over 1.5 million readers. What continues to inspire me most is the opportunity to share what I love, support others in their creative journeys, and stay connected to a global community through design.
I’m so glad you’re here.
LET’S work together
I offer several ways to put your brand in front of my global decor8 audience (over a million loyal followers across my social platforms) with a variety of content packages and services designed to elevate your brand's visibility.
From sponsored content to curated styling and photography, meticulous art direction, consulting for magazines, insightful workshops, keynote lectures, comprehensive trend reports, and exclusive coverage of leading European design fairs, as well as captivating travel and tourism features, engaging lectures, and immersive business events and trade show exhibitions—you name it, I've orchestrated it, collaborating with an impressive roster of clients (listed below).
I also offer interior design guidance for residential and commercial projects along with innovative concepts for events, pop-ups, retail spaces, cafes, hotels, and beyond.
