CLIENT DETAILS

“We brought Colleen into our remodel project late in the process, and her impact was immediate! She really helped us prioritize and guided us through the entire design process. Colleen helped turn a previously overwhelming process (who knew there were so many granite and tile options!?) into a manageable and fun experience. Her eye for color, her network of suppliers, her creativity and ideas, and her impressive technical lighting knowledge were all instrumental to the success of our project. We are delighted with the results and would highly recommend Colleen for any job – big or small. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About Colleen


I live in Minneapolis with my landscape architect/urban designer husband, my daughter who believes she’s my design assistant and sous chef, an independent Siamese, a feisty grey-striped kitten, and a menagerie of turkeys and other wild animals who visit our backyard for the free food. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me cooking up a Paleo feast, cheering for my daughter's volleyball team, playing pickleball, or hiding in a corner with my nose in a book.
