Maren Billington

Maren Billington is the owner and operator of Billington Design Solutions LLC, a full-service interior design and general contracting firm based in Royal Oak.  She has degrees in marketing and interior design and holds a builder’s license in the state of Michigan.

Maren has spent most of her adult life involved in non-profit children’s organizations.  While living in the Former Soviet Union, Maren was a founding member and president of The International Pre and Play School of Riga, which offered native-English language instruction for children of all nationalities between the ages of two and six.  She also has done vast fundraising for Mes Esam Lidzas  (We Are Beside You) Children’s Rehabilitation Institute in Riga, Latvia as well as for Unity Preschool in Evanston, Illinois.  Maren has served on the Executive Boards and committees in various capacities for The International Women’s Club of Riga, Latvia and the Oak Ridge Elementary School PTA in Royal Oak, Michigan.  Currently she is involved with Oak Roots, a Royal Oak Schools committee which raises environmental awareness and implements “green” changes for schools within the district.

Maren’s belief in the power of choral music was solidified by her fantastic experience in the high school Concert Choir at Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center in Chicago.  She also enjoys singing in groups at Faith Covenant Church in Farmington Hills, in the car with her kids, and to her dog on long walks.
