Design Team

Ann Johnsrud

Principal, Interior Designer

Ann’s lifelong passion for design had an early beginning when she visited her father’s architectural firm and did homework at his drafting table.

After careers in advertising and visual merchandising Ann pursued her love of design and earned her degree in interior design.

Ann founded her design firm in 2009 and has worked with numerous clients creating interiors that feel like “home”. Projects range from kitchen and bath remodels, whole house renovations and after discovering a love of textiles her firm began designing custom window treatments.

A refined sense of style and an interest in traveling bring a colorful global perspective to Ann’s interiors. She loves taking design inspiration from something that has meaning to her clients – a favorite piece of artwork or a treasure from their travels.
