Meet the Designer

Andrée Putman

Hi! I’m Braylon Williams, a visionary designer and the founder of Morningstar Interiors.

I believe that spaces have the power to shape how we live, think, and feel—and that design, at its best, transforms us from the inside out. As an active community leader and educator, my mission is to guide others toward restoration and positive transformation.

My love for design began long before Morningstar Interiors ever came to life. As a child, I found joy in rearranging rooms, decorating for holidays (especially Christmas), and dreaming up new ways to make our home feel refreshed. (Though, more often than not, my parents didn’t let me implement those ideas.) What started as childhood imagination has since grown into a lifelong passion—a calling to design spaces that reflect identity, emotion, and purpose.

My journey is a journey that reflects resilience and self-discovery. During my time as a student at Evangel University (Springfield, MO), I graduated from The Interior Design Institute (2021) and became a proud member of both the Springfield Design Association and The Network, a division of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce for young professionals. Later, in 2023, I became the first in my immediate family to earn a bachelor’s degree, graduating from Evangel with a B.A. in General Studies.

I’ve navigated numerous personal challenges that continue to shape my perspective as both a designer and storyteller—most notably through my Enneagram journey.

My own journey with the Enneagram began as part of a broader path toward resilience, identity, and inner work. At first, not wanting to be left out of the conversation, I quickly claimed Type Eight without much reflection. But a lingering conversation with a counselor stayed with me—and in 2024, I found deep relief in discovering my true type: Three. Even before fully understanding the system, I felt drawn to the Enneagram’s core truth—that it doesn’t box people in, but rather reveals a path back to your authentic self. That clarity continues to shape both my design philosophy and my approach to life.

Outside of interior design, I’m an Enneagram Educator and I use my podcast, Enneagram Restored Podcast, as a place to explore the intersection of personality, healing, and self-awareness—helping others uncover their most authentic selves. And because of all the other hats that I were outside of being an interior designer, my work has naturally blended artistry and emotional insight to craft interiors that are not only beautiful but restorative.

Because, in the end, whether is design or dialogue, my mission remains the same: to create environments that inspire restoration, connection, and light.
