ABOUT US
WE ARE ALL IN
In 1993, Steve Essig founded American Interiors in the laundry room of his Novi, Michigan condo. Through the decades, American Interiors has grown into a multi-faceted organization that focuses on creating spaces where people can do and be their best.
Our cross-functional teams bring diverse insights and unique perspectives. We work together daily, know each other’s families, solve challenges, celebrate wins, and on occasion, share a cocktail or two. Through trust, collaboration, and passion, we provide a rewarding customer experience. Our goal is to create greatness.
WHERE WE LIVE
Although our clients span across the globe, we call these places home.
