Katie Hansen, owner + designer
hello! i'm katie, owner + designer.
Most days you'll find me out and about designing, hanging with my kiddos, or staying active. The things I am most passionate about in life are my faith, family (my husband Neil + our 3 young daughters), connecting with people, and sharing my creativity through design.
I design for clients who desire to have a space they truly love to come home to and see ‘home’ as much deeper than just a pretty house full of rooms. I see it as a great honor to be invited into a client’s home and transform it into a place that reflects their unique personality and lifestyle, giving them a whole new sense of pride in their space.
​
I discovered a love of design in my childhood days of 4-H, where I began refinishing furniture to bring to the county fair and eventually redecorating rooms in our house. At 21, I purchased my first home – a tiny little fixer upper where I could let my creativity run wild, and the passion grew from there!
When I’m not busy designing or being mom, you can catch me golfing, binging podcasts, gardening, exploring restaurants or cooking a new recipe, or spending time outside on our family farm in SW Minnesota.

Mira Steensma, interior designer
hi! i'm mira, interior designer.
​
My favorite part about the design process is space planning. I love making the most of spaces or simply rearranging items to give the space a refresh. I also love the relationships I build with clients, most of them becoming like family throughout the project, and it is bittersweet when it wraps up!
​
Since I was little, I have been drawing floor plans on any scratch piece of paper I could find. Every year I would also take the big JCPenney catalog my grandma got in the mail and cut out all the furniture and accessories. I would then glue together cardboard boxes for different rooms in my house and design each room with the catalog cutouts!
Outside of working you find me trying new foods or spending time outdoors. There's nothing I love more than packing all the flavors into one meal, and I will always be ordering dessert. Yum! I can't soak up enough sunshine between gardening or going on walks with our Dog Chet. All these things are best with my hubby, family and friends!

Lexy Ruesch, interior designer
hi there! i'm lexy, interior designer.
My favorite part about designing is it is very interactive. When we are introduced to a new project and meeting our client for the first time, we get to learn more about them through their space. Design enriches connection through these relationships and we are able to make their home their story.
I have always had a knack for creativity. It was sparked from a young age as I helped my Grandpa with various art projects. He inspired me to be creative and think outside the box. I have a passion for design and it is shown through my creativity.
When I am not in the studio, I like to spend my time outdoors doing a variety of activities, such as golfing and boating with my family and friends. I love to express my artistic ability by cooking fun dishes, gardening, or creating various art pieces like pottery or painting.

Tristin Hieronimus, design assistant
hello! i'm tristin, design assistant.
I think designing is more than amazing because it's a blend of art, expression, functionality, and psychology. The way a space gets designed can have a huge impact on our well-being and greatly affect our mood and mental health. I love designing because I can help create a safe and inviting space for any person and it also allows me to create a bond with so many new wonderful people!
​
Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to work in a field that involved helping people create their dream homes/businesses. My dad is co-owner of a small construction company so I grew up helping them do all sorts of home renovations. I loved working hands-on and was always intrigued by the different choices/styles clients would choose. This led to me discovering interior design and I was hooked as it let me do everything I loved while also using my creative side!
​
Other than designing, I am always doing something with my friends and family. I have a huge love for animals, especially my two black labs: Jake and Apollo! Being outdoors and going hunting, fishing/boating, snowmobiling, and going to concerts are by far my favorite hobbies.
