About Mays Proper

Hi! I'm Neil

Design brings forth the word, Peace. A word that in today’s world, is one that is truly sought after by clients of all backgrounds. I love providing a space that is not only beautiful but a place that is a peaceful retreat for you, as well as family and friends.

As a child, I lived in a very small and economical home, nothing elaborate, yet I felt inspired to always make it look its best with what we could afford. I feel the same today. No matter what your budget, I believe that we can make your space beautiful.

Having an entrepreneurial mindset, I feel very strongly about a career that allows my family to come first – flexibility is key. My wife Stephanie, children Taylor, Alexis, Miles, and Margaret, are the inspiration that drives me from day to day to create a life by design.

I enjoy breathing life back into homes. Where some may see an abandoned or outdated space, I envision a true transformation. It brings me immense joy to see a client’s face once they see a completed project. From the very beginnings of a mood board, to the final reveal, designing is an outlet that brings my love for creativity and peace full circle.

Hi! I'm Hilary

I’m a Tupelo native with a detail-driven mind and a zeal for making old things new again. A background in fashion and design led me to develop a love for creative details, a flair for eclecticism, and a passion for working one-on-one with clients. With experience in both home renovation and new construction, nothing drives my passion for home design more than seeing a project go from an idea to a finished product. I’m thrilled at the opportunity to share, create, and be inspired with our clients.

I believe your home should be a reflection of your personality. It should be your retreat. It should illustrate who you are, what you love, and should function specifically to your needs. My design philosophy contains three components: a stroke of inspiration, a plan to bring it to life, and creativity and flexibility in the details. I’m excited to help our clients breathe new life into their spaces, while still maintaining the integrity and character that makes a house a home.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me at my favorite place – home! My three amazing children – Louise, Annie, and Simon – are what inspire me the most. At home you’ll find us spending lazy afternoons reading on the porch, making a meal together in the kitchen, or playing with our two dogs – Oscar and Nora.

Hi! I'm Breanna

"Design" and "Detail" are two words that I use daily to inspire my personal confidence and professional drive.

With a love for numbers and organization from my past work experience in management and finance, I bring those two worlds together as a project manager at Mays Proper. I take pride in seeing any project start to finish with creativity, inspiration and fun! I am thrilled to be a part of the Mays Proper team, providing unparalleled style and beauty to each and every one of our clients homes.

My own personal inspiration is my family. When I'm not working, you might catch me at a baseball game for my son, Wells, running my girls, Louise and Kate, to ballet or soccer or playing with our newest addition to the family, goldendoodle Hank! I love the thrill and busy-ness of being a mom and also being able to show my passion of design and detail through my work. My husband and I are Mississippi Delta born and raised, but uprooted our family to Tupelo - where we have fallen in love with the town and community and made our home.
