Kate Silknitter
Drawing from my experience at Iowa State’s College of Design, I channel my passion for color, maximalism, and vintage charm into my work as a Design Consultant. At Homemakers, I focus on crafting unique, artful expressions of my clients’ personalities. My mission is to create vibrant, personalized spaces that cater to individuals and families alike, celebrating the beauty of their stories. By fostering an open dialogue with my clients, I ensure that every design choice reflects their vision and enhances the feel of their space.
Fiorella Peterson
I am passionate about creating spaces that seamlessly combine functionality, comfort, and beauty. Drawing inspiration from Wabi Sabi, Biophilic, and Contemporary styles, I strive to deliver original designs tailored to each client's budget. My empathetic approach allows me to connect with a wide array of clients, ensuring that every project resonates with each client's wants and reflects thoughtful attention to detail.
Vennessa Sires
As an artist and designer, my passion for architecture and interior spaces has been a lifelong journey. I have had the pleasure of helping many clients across the Des Moines Metro create personalized homes that reflect their unique styles. To me, interior design is more than aesthetics; it's about cultivating peace, joy, and inspiration in everyday life. I embrace an eclectic style and believe that any vision can materialize through partnership, to transform ideas into beautifully designed spaces.
Avana Wheeler
With over 12 years of experience in interior design, I’ve dedicated my career to transforming spaces into blends of style and functionality. My design style is warm and clean, infused with global influences that add character and depth to each project. I thrive on collaboration, guiding clients to discover a design vision that truly reflects who they are. My goal is to elevate not only a space’s aesthetic, but also the experience of the room, ensuring it resonates with my clients' unique style.
