ABOUT THE STUDIO
We invent a world where every body has the opportunity to participate.
MAEGAN BLAU
FOUNDER + PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Hi, I’m Maegan!
My interior design career started with a struggle most people with disabilities face...finding an accessible home. My personal journey living with a spinal cord injury made the gap between the interior design industry and accessibility very apparent.
In 2009 my life changed in the blink of an eye when I incurred a spinal cord injury. I quickly learned that if I could even find a home that would fit my physical needs, it was not in line with my personal style. With so much change in my life, I was holding on to the idea that my home could reflect who I am outside of my disability. In 2012 I renovated my first home and through that experience I learned how to be an advocate for myself, my home needs, and my style vision.
Combining my perspective of disability with my life-long passion for interior design fueled me to advocate for others in their accessible home journey. In 2018 I founded Blue Copper Design with the mission to combine barrier free designs with beautiful interiors and the vision to create a world where everybody can participate.
When I'm not building an interior design empire you can find me watching true crime documentaries, traveling with my husband, playing with my dogs Odin & Luna, and in a pool somewhere with a fun drink and lots of snacks.

BEHIND THE BRAND
OUR TEAM
KOREY KULPINS
STUDIO MANAGER
Korey is our right hand woman. Her passion for design and ability to wear many hats makes her our favorite studio manager. You may see her at appointments, install days, running around town, and behind the scenes of our photo shoots.
When Korey is not keeping BCD together you can find her organizing her home, watching Bravo, and shopping at TJ Maxx.
CHRIS BLAU
MUSCLES
Being married to Maegan comes with perks and one of those is being our in house muscles! You may see Chris getting things on top shelves, carrying all of our heavy items, and hanging pictures on the wall.
When he isn't moving boulders for Blue Copper Design you can find him growing his real estate empire with 1911 Syndicate, fussing with his beard, and making friends everywhere he goes.
“I can’t even begin to say how much we’ve enjoyed working with Maegan. At every point during the process from the original designs to the final installation, we felt confident that she was there for us. She was always on time and involved to make sure everything was done right..."
