About Us > Belinda Thornburg

Belinda Thornburg is the principal interior designer of the company as well as the business manager. Belinda graduated from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA with a degree in interior design. Her career began with prominent Washington DC interior designer, Mary Douglas Drysdale. As protégé in a very small, but very successful design firm, Belinda was immediately immersed in challenges and responsibilities. This early immersion took well and Belinda was involved in several high profile published projects early in her career.

Following her return from Washington DC to California in 1991 she temporarily diverted from her full time career as an interior designer to pursue development of her business acumen as compliment to her design skills. She spent the next 10 years in the pulp and paper industry as a major buyer and broker of paper pulp throughout the world. This experience endowed her with a truly global business perspective as well as confidence in managing complex financial transactions.

During those years her passion for design was not lost, as she collaborated with her architect/husband Jeb Thornburg on three of their own homes, one in San Francisco and two on Bainbridge Island.

Belinda returned full time to her design roots in 1999, founding Indigo with Jeb Thornburg. She melds both practical business savvy and an intuitive artistic ability in her design work; often described as a comfortable yet sophisticated aesthetic.
