Courtney-Oglesby Head-shot

“Design is not about making stage sets or pretty pictures for magazines. It is really about creating a quality of life, a BEAUTY that nourishes the soul.” – Albert Hadley

Courtney is the Manager of Interior Design who joined Furnishings and Design in 2013, and she has over forty years of professional design experience. She grew up in Natchez, MS and earned her BS in Human and Environmental Sciences/Interior Design from the University of Alabama in 1979. Prior to joining UA, she worked in several commercial architecture firms and cofounded Interior Design Professionals, Inc., which provided professional interior design services with a diverse client base.

She enjoys working closely with her dedicated and talented design staff to ensure that they serve their clients by providing meaningful design solutions that improve the quality of life. One of the most rewarding aspects of her job is that she forms close relationships with many of her exceptional clients and campus partners. While there are many deadlines, it is very exciting to assist in the creative process that transforms the campus.
