A Little About Us
It is no accident that ninety percent of our client list consists of repeat commissions and referrals. That is because beauty is not enough. We approach the design process through strong analytics; researching the competitive set, your target market, and potential return on investments. Our goal is to ensure that our designs are memorable, durable, functionally, budget conscious and on schedule. We use computer technology to communicate our design both three dimensionally and finally in detailed drawings and specifications for construction and procurement.

My name is Brooke Pearsall. I have been practicing in the hospitality industry for nearly 20 years. Prior to leading GMK Interiors as the Director of Design, I was the Managing Director for HVS Design. When I decided to leave HVS Design, I knew I would be putting Lodging Hospitality on hold. I love hospitality design for the simple reason that it brings joy into this world.
Awards and Recognition
My unique expression has been recognized in various design industry publications where I have been interviewed extensively on design trends and new hospitality concepts. I recently received the Merit award for Environments for Aging where my expertise in Hospitality assisted in creating unique solutions for a Dementia care residential community. Other innovation awards include the SAGE award for “design that impacts lives” and “I have gotta have that at my property” at HI Connect 2014. I am often asked to speak at industry conferences and my most recent speaking engagements are “The Value of Design” delivered in Mumbai, India, and “The Art of Perception” at The Leading Age Conference in North Carolina.
