Q&A with Darla Dillon, Vice President of Interior Design and Architecture, Cortland

At Cortland, one of the country’s largest apartment operators, Darla Dillon oversees an in-house agency that designs living spaces for more than 75,000 apartment residents in each of the company’s regions.

Dillon leads teams in executing high-quality design standards, while keeping brand designs on-trend and cutting-edge for all of Cortland’s communities and offices. She also oversees product development, managing current trends and introducing new designs to create a look and feel at Cortland’s communities that align with the company’s brand and mission.

Dillon’s design background includes luxury spaces – from yachts to private planes and mansions – but she’s passionate about creating beautiful, timeless spaces that transcend design and inspire vibrant living, no matter the scope or scale of the project.

Darla's Q&A covers current trends in apartment design, colors we can expect to see more of, and the research that goes into designing appealing apartment spaces for residents.
