Every project is different. Your design services should be unique to your needs.

Let's make your home work for you

  • Home search & buyer representation

  • Home sale & seller representation

  • Investment real estate sourcing

  • Design-informed property evaluation

  • Pre-sale improvement strategy

Not every project needs a full scope of work. Sometimes you just need an expert in the room to help you get unstuck.

In a Design Consultation, you bring your questions, your pain points, and your half-formed ideas — and I bring 20+ years of design & construction experience to help you get clear on what to do next. Whether you want to validate a direction, get help with a specific challenge, or just figure out where to start, one conversation can give you the clarity to move forward with confidence. 
Two-hour minimum.

Design Consultation

  • Layout & furniture arrangement advice

  • Material & finish direction

  • Getting a second opinion before you commit

  • Figuring out where to start on a larger project

Most real estate agents can tell you what a home sold for. I can also discuss what it would cost to fix the layout, what the bones are worth, and whether that kitchen remodel will actually recoup its value.

As both a licensed Minnesota real estate agent and a certified interior designer, I bring a perspective no other agent can. Whether you’re buying your next home, selling your current one, or looking at investment properties, I help you make smarter decisions.

Real Estate + Design

  • Curated furniture sourcing & selection

  • Rug selection

  • Boutique art selection

  • Custom drapery, stationary panels & window treatments

  • Powered & programmable window treatment options

  • Full procurement & installation management

The finishing touches are what make a house feel like a home. I source quality, customizable pieces from trade-only vendors you won’t find at big-box stores — furniture built to last, rugs with character, art that means something.

From custom drapery to curated furniture selections and full procurement management, I handle every detail from planning through delivery and installation.

Furnishings, Art & MORE

  • On-site visits during construction milestones

  • Contractor collaboration & communication

  • Creative problem-solving as challenges arise

  • Design implementation oversight

  • Procurement & installation coordination

Once construction begins, the design vision can drift — small decisions accumulate, and suddenly the finished space doesn’t look like what you planned. I prevent that.

As your on-site advocate, I attend key construction milestones, stay in close communication with your contractor, and solve problems in real time so the project stays true to the design from start to finish.

Design Management

  • Mood concept & design discovery

  • Material selection & cabinetry design

  • Exterior selection & review

  • Furniture & window treatment planning

  • Contractor & architect collaboration

  • Builder timeline coordination

Building a custom home is one of the most complex things you’ll ever do. Without a designer guiding selections and coordinating with your builder, it’s easy to end up with a house that looks like a showroom floor instead of a home that feels like yours.

I work alongside your builder to make sure your home flows seamlessly from the exterior in — keeping every decision cohesive, minimizing overwhelm, and protecting the vision from groundbreak to move-in.

New Construction

  • Kitchen & bath space planning and layout optimization 

  • Aging-in-place / Universal Design

  • Wellness/ flex use room design

  • Cabinetry design & material selection

  • Fixture & finish selections

  • Contractor communication & milestone oversight

The kitchen and bathroom are the hardest-working rooms in your home — and the ones that matter most to buyers if you ever sell. I design functional, beautiful spaces by solving daily dilemmas, layout, storage, and workflow problems before construction begins.

From cabinetry design and material selection to fixture choices and contractor coordination, I manage every detail and stay involved through key construction milestones to make sure the vision holds

Kitchen & Bath Design

  • Spatial planning & layout redesign

  • Main level, lower level (basement) finishing, aging-in-place / universal design

  • Design documentation for contractor communication

  • Contractor interviews & selection support

  • Design management & on-site oversight

  • Final installation coordination

 Remodeling is exciting — and overwhelming. I specialize in taking the chaos out of the process by solving the hard design problems before a single contractor sets foot in your home.

I prepare detailed design documents so you and your contractor are always on the same page, minimizing surprises and keeping your project moving forward. From spatial planning and contractor interviews to on-site oversight and final installation, I’m with you every step of the way.

DESIGN CONSULTATION

Design Services

REACH OUT

Ready to talk about which services fit your project?

That’s exactly what the discovery call is for.

Tell me about your space, your goals, and your timeline — and I’ll tell you honestly what would help most.

Note that each project scope is unique - this process adapts to fit yours.

For items that we are procuring on your behalf, we will track and manage product fabrication and schedules. When the time is right, I coordinate deliveries, wallpaper installation, window treatment installation, and add the final touches that reflect your personality and how your family lives

Installation

4

I partner with your contractor to have a kick-off meeting and ensure your vision is executed throughout the construction process. With a background in construction, every detail is just as important to me, as it is to your contractor. I often attend site visits during construction milestones to aid in decision making and oversight of your design details. 

Design Management

3

With a clear direction in place, I develop cabinetry elevations, material and fixture selections and sometimes review these selections in a 3D environment. If furnishings are a part of your project, I specify furniture, rugs, art, accessories, and window treatments to continue to complete the story. 

Design Development

2

We redesign your space to meet your needs, goals and how you live your life in your home. This often includes creating drawings of your current space, proposed solutions and layouts, furniture layouts and notes for adjustments to walls, flooring transitions, mechanicals or electrical that could be made. We then review with you and come up with our final proposed strategy and design. 

Conceptual Design

1

Every project begins with a discovery call — no commitment, no pressure. I want to understand your project story, your goals and your timeline. If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a home visit to dig into the details. Once you’ve signed your Design Agreement, we’re officially underway.

DESIGN PROCESS

WE START WITH A CONVERSATION

New Construction CLIENT

It was such a pleasure to work with Calie while building our house. 

She is awesome at space assessment and communicated continuously on our behalf with our contractor throughout the process.

We love our home!

"It is rare to work with someone who is patient, listens to your thoughts and gains understanding of your preferences before guiding you to the best outcome."

LOWER LEVEL & BATH REMODEL CLIENT

The end result? A refreshed, brighter and more sophisticated space that we absolutely love. Looking forward to another project with Calie at some point in the future!"

"Our contractor loved working with her because she gave them very detailed plans and instructions, and was always available when they needed her." 

Calie helped us revive our dated 90's basement bar and entertainment area. After the first walkthrough, she presented us with her design plan. She had very carefully incorporated parts of the existing space that we wanted to keep, as well as a complete renovation of the existing bathroom. Her design fit seamlessly with the older parts of the house, which was important to us as well.
