Bespoke Abode is owned and operated by the office of Martha's Vineyard Interior Design, a full service interior design studio offering award winning design services on and off the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
Principal and Senior Designer Liz Stiving-Nichols started Martha’s Vineyard Interior Design in 2010 and lifestyle brand Bespoke Abode followed shortly after.
The recipient of the 2016 New Trad Award, 2012 5 Under 40 Award for design excellence in New England, and named one of the Fresh Faces of Design by HGTV, Liz leads the team at MVID and along with Interior Designers / Showroom Managers Tyler Sowizral (MV) and Sylvia Skylar (SC), hand selects the curated collection of inventory offered in both Bespoke Abode locations.
Always seeking inspiration from our coastal surroundings of Martha’s Vineyard and the Lowcountry, Bespoke Abode’s design aesthetic is a reflection of these perennial influences and lifestyles.
Sylvia Skylar
As the Senior Designer in our Bluffton, SC location, Sylvia leads the Interior Design department offering full interior design services.
Before joining Bespoke Abode in Bluffton, SC, Sylvia spent eight years as Senior Designer for the 'Architectural Digest 100' and 'Elle Décor A-list' firm of Timothy Corrigan Inc., Los Angeles.
Working on three different continents, she led numerous projects, including an 18,000 sq ft celebrity-owned Beverly Hills ground-up renovation, an opulent Paris pied-a-terre for a Middle-Eastern Royal family, and a luxury yacht in Asia. Most recently, she received design credit for the industry-renowned 2023 Kip's Bay Showhouse in Manhattan.
Sylvia has worked extensively with architects and contractors to create timeless, elegant, well designed spaces. She utilizes her knowledge of architectural and building standards, expert space planning, and a proficiency in AutoCAD to offer complete renovation services. A member of the American Society of Interior Designers, Sylvia maintains a vast network of valued industry vendors to best serve her clientele.
With a client-centered approach to the design process, Sylvia brings creative innovation and a systems-based structure to every project.
Tyler Sowizral
As the in-house designer and Manager of Bespoke Abode’s flagship location, Tyler brings a fresh perspective on design rooted in his passion for real estate and love of Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod.
A native of Massachusetts, Tyler grew up outside of Boston yet his relationship with the Vineyard dates back to his early childhood.
He is excited to help clients build their own deep connection to the island by designing spaces that are reflective of their lifestyle while utilizing the design principals he’s learned while working closely with the MVID team in the Martha’s Vineyard design studio.
After earning a Bachelor of Business Administration (with a concentration in a marketing) from The George Washington University School of Business, Tyler started a career in Real Estate in Boston.
His keen eye and personal style quickly led to a career in design and he joined the Bespoke Abode team in 2022.
He currently resides in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard and in Boston.
