Cleveland Commercial Interior Designer
About Us
At Slate, we’re driven by creating meaningful interior spaces for businesses that care about their people. Through visual storytelling and functional spatial design, we help businesses create interiors that are immersive brand experiences for their customers.
A blank slate is an endless opportunity.
My goal is always to show my clients the full potential of their space and blow their minds with a completely reimagined concept of what it can be.
With a degree in interior design, my NCIDQ certification, a few awards, and more than a decade of experience under my belt, I know a thing or two about the intricacies of designing commercial spaces. Where people see an uninspired room, I see a blank slate with endless opportunities.

ACCOLADES
Bridget Hrdlicka is the founder of Slate Interiors Studio. Upon graduation from Kent State University with a B.A. in Interior Design, for the first 10 years of her career, Bridget worked in small- and mid-sized architectural firms as a commercial interior designer from schematic design through construction completion. Bridget, a NCIDQ certified interior designer, has led projects ranging from small tenant fit-outs to 100,000 square foot corporate headquarters. Passionate about tailoring design solutions to each client’s needs, Bridget launched Slate Interiors Studio in 2021, enabling her to perfect a design approach that balances creativity with technical prowess, as evidenced by a portfolio of spaces that are beautiful, functional, and timeless.
Caity Solomon
Studio Director
TEAM
Caity has a degree in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati and spent the first 13 years of her career in business operations and marketing. With a knack for both analytics and aesthetics, she brings structure to the team while jumping into the design process whenever possible.
At Slate, Caity keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes and lends her eye to the creative side. She's one of those rare personalities who can toggle between spreadsheets and mood boards with ease.
Fun fact
Caity is Bridget’s older sister- and they frequently show up to client meetings dressed exactly the same, unintentionally.
Meredith Ross
Interior Designer
Meredith has a degree in Graphic Communication Design from the University of Cincinnati and began her career in tech. She spent seven years at Apple designing for apple.com and native iOS features before expanding into interior design through UC Berkeley Extension.
At Slate, Meredith supports design deliverables and infuses creativity. She's an expert 3D modeler with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for all things design.
Fun fact
Meredith has lived in Cleveland, Cincinnati, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco, where she developed a deep love for Mission burritos (preferably from Papalote or El Metate).
We try our best to make every client feel like they’re our only client.
Or so we’ve been told. Interior design isn’t heart surgery. So why don’t we have some fun with it? We keep our processes playful, collaborative, and casual.
We’re professionally trained and industry-vetted. With over a decade of experience, we’ve seen it all — learned what works and what doesn’t.
