Palm & Pyne

Heather Stewart Pyne, PhD founded Palm & Pyne on a simple belief: life is happening now—and the spaces we live in should make it better. She approaches every project with intention, designing environments that bring elegance, energy, and ease to daily life, with a sense of freshness that lifts the spirit and clarifies the mind.

A creative strategist at heart, Heather’s perspective has been shaped by her experience leading and teaching at New York University, involvement with The Newark Museum of Art, time spent at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and volunteerism with lifestyle non-profits. She believes that thoughtful design directly shapes productivity, energy, happiness, and creativity.

Her connection to the home furnishings industry spans generations, informing a deep understanding of design integrity, material quality, and enduring style. As a professional, mother, and grandmother, she understands today’s lifestyle needs.

A published author and technologist, Heather bridges design and modern living with quiet confidence. Through Palm & Pyne, she helps clients create homes that feel deeply personal, effortlessly functional, and unmistakably defined by elegance and artistry—spaces that support the full rhythm of living.
