We are Design Direction, Inc.
At Design Direction, we start each project with a creative session. This allows us to get get to know you, your vision, and your requirements before planning the project. It is important to us that your space, be it a home or something else, reflects your needs and lifestyle. Each client is different and we embrace these differences by using our expertise to give you the space you’ve been dreaming about!
We have an extensive background working with contractors, builders, and architects. These relationships allow us to work alongside many other professionals during the building or remodeling process which ensures your project will be completed efficiently. Along with design services, we sell products for floor coverings, window coverings, countertops, furniture, lighting and more. We also provide space planning and room layout services which will help integrate all of the design elements needed for your project.
Design Direction has been providing services to the Fargo-Moorhead community since 2005. We do work in both residential and commercial spaces. Our team of talented designers and specialists are here to help you create a beautiful space that meets your wants and needs.

A Fargo resident, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
As an interior designer, I help take the stress of building and remodeling off of my clients by working with them to design a space that they love to walk into each day. Through space planning, selecting finishes from flooring and tile to paint and window treatments, to working with trades people, I enjoy working with my clients to make their dreams a reality.
While I grew up in Fargo, I spent several years of my childhood as an MK (missionary kid) in Russia and Ukraine. It was during this time of living in the former Soviet Union that I began to cultivate a love for color, fabrics and design as a whole. I was often found sewing throw pillows to cozy up a room or called upon to dig through my fabric stash to find material to use for curtains or other projects.
After returning to the United States in my teen years, I finished high school and pursued other interests prior to returning to college to gain my Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design. My free time is spent with family and friends and staying busy through my involvement with various organizations including the Home Builders Association, NDID (North Dakota Interior Designers), and Russian Harvest Ministries.
I enjoy meeting people and visiting with them about their project to establish design solutions for their home or office. My goal is to make sure a client has a well thought out design plan which reflects their personality and fits within their timeline and budget. I have many years of experience in custom window treatments, furnishing layouts and selections, lighting, accessorizing, wallcovering, paint and flooring. I can help a customer as little or as much as they need on a project. If a client would like to work in phases I will help them to prioritize the stages of the project. Most importantly, I treasure the friendships I have made over the past 30 years working in the design field.
I graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. I have spent most of my years living in the Fargo/Moorhead area where my husband and I raised our family. On my free time I like to play with my dog, garden, crochet, read and spend time with family and friends at the lake in Minnesota.
I support the designers with their projects by creating renderings and floorplans using computer aided design software. I also use my industry experience to suggest design solutions and assist in selecting products and materials for our clients.
I am a graduate of North Dakota State University and have previously worked in the design field for both retail and wholesale companies with an emphasis in kitchen design.
I am always learning more about this industry as a member of the Home Builders Association (HBA), North Dakota Interior Designers (NDID), and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). I hold the Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) certification from the NKBA.
In my free time I enjoy traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with family.
