About
OUR TEAM
Samantha Danahy
CEO & Founder
Over 20 years of organizing people professionally and staging houses, I learned everything that works and does not work in spaces across the board. In 2015 I started designing kitchens with cabinetry that was both beautiful as well as functional. I have since taken that ball and run with it all over the house. Walking into a house, closing my eyes and rethinking a space holistically, whether that means moving walls, selecting tile or designing a furniture layout, brings me immense satisfaction.
Managing my own remodels combined with being married to a contractor has given me a robust understanding of what goes into various types of projects. While I have worked from start to finish on new build projects, I love the challenge of working within existing spaces and remodels and doing so within a budget. I pride myself as being a one-stop-shop. I can take your goals, aesthetic and budget and design a beautiful and functional space while guiding you through the entire process from sourcing and selecting an architect and contractor all the way to throw pillows and everything in between.
Claudia Hobbs
Director of Operations
Claudia has lived in this valley for over 20 years. Her knowledge of Jackson Hole’s services, people and idiosyncrasies are invaluable. She oversees all of our operations and is the point person for all things having to do with homes. For many years before coming to work with In Place, she had a floral and gardening business. Decluttering and organizing gives her the same sense of peace and satisfaction that she previously found working with flowers. We are exceptionally lucky that we caught her when she was looking to redirect her energy. She hails from Southern Connecticut and has by no means lost her East Coast wit.
Carli Lyon
Project Manager
Carli Lyon has always been a doer of all things, a master-troubleshooter, chaos-wrangler and efficiency expert. Carli is an 18 year Jackson resident. After a decade long career in travel marketing, she decided to apply these traits to homes and people’s spaces.
She claims it’s her Midwestern practicality that allows her to create systems that ensure everything has a place. She excels at catering these systems to each individual client’s lifestyle, aesthetic and personality. From events to houses and homes, the details really matter.
Hope Maloney
Project Assistant
Hope arrived in Wyoming in the late 1990s, having discovered she was more of a mountains girl than a wall-street girl. She spent several years at Lost Creek Ranch and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort before joining the opening team of the Four Seasons Resort, where she managed the concierge team for 15 years.
After "retiring" from hotel life in 2021, Hope joined In Place to help out during a busy time and she has never looked back. Always a fan of systems and processes, she enjoys helping clients make the best use of their space. Her easy-going personality combined with her acute attention to detail and get-it-done attitude make her a true team player.
