Soul Bowl - Soul Food Restaurant
Furniture Design
October 2024
Soul Bowl, a homegrown soul food restaurant, found its permanent home connected to The V3 Center in North Minneapolis in 2024. I led the space planning, furniture specification, and material design efforts in coordination with LSE Architects. Furnishings include pieces from KFI Studios, Paul Brayton, Grand Rapids Chair Co., and custom occasional and café tables designed with local artist Tristan Thiel Design.
The design emphasizes community, warmth, and connection, using rich wood tones, matte black framing, and a palette of greens, creams, and browns inspired by Minneapolis’ natural surroundings. Flexibility was central—standardized table sizes and varied seating types allow for adaptable layouts and accessibility for all guests.

Hmong Home Health Care - Acoustic Improvements & Workstation Refresh
April 2025
I directed the design, specification, and project management of Hmong Home Healthcare's Office Refresh to reimagine their office space with a focus on privacy, functionality, and aesthetics. In a healthcare environment, sound privacy is essential to protect sensitive conversations and ensure staff and clients feel comfortable. To address this, the project integrated a state-of-the-art sound masking system, acoustic wall panels, and ceiling baffles to minimize distractions and enhance confidentiality.
Open office areas were enhanced with improved lighting, reconfigured workstations to encourage collaboration, and design accents that balance brand identity with a calming atmosphere. Private offices and conference rooms feature 3M film on glass fronts, sound barriers under doors, and Clarus glass boards for collaborative work. A custom Acousti-Image panel depicting a Hmong village, paired with a welcoming decal featuring community phrases, reinforces cultural connection and creates an inviting reception experience. The result is a professional, functional, and culturally attuned workplace that supports staff well-being and the delivery of compassionate care.

SoHo Lofts - Office Design
July 2025
C.A. Ellis & Associates LLC, a Twin Cities business consulting firm, partnered with us to transform their new headquarters in a historic SoHo Loft in downtown Minneapolis. The goal was to reimagine an old workshop into a modern, functional office while honoring the building’s character and staying mindful of costs.
Our redesign included fresh paint and accent finishes, thoughtful space planning, acoustic improvements, and a mix of new and refinished furniture. A key feature was the refinishing of the existing reception station, which preserved the history of the space while giving it a refreshed, welcoming look.
To balance design quality with budget goals, we took a blended approach: introducing custom statement furniture and acoustic wall features alongside carefully selected reused and lightly used pieces. Training tables, task seating, and storage were sourced secondhand, while statement lounge and conference pieces brought sophistication and modern functionality to the office.
The result is a lively, cost-conscious workspace that blends historic charm with a contemporary office environment, supporting collaboration and client engagement.
Regions Hospital - Lindell Auditorium Redesign
September 2025
Regions Hospital’s Lindell Auditorium serves as a vital hub for staff trainings, conferences, and informational meetings. Over time, the space had begun to feel dated and no longer reflected the welcoming and professional environment the hospital aims to provide. The goal of this renovation was to brighten the auditorium, improve comfort, and ensure long-term durability suitable for a high-use healthcare environment.
The project scope included new paint, carpeting, and the design and installation of fixed seating. Finishes were selected to balance warmth and functionality—soft neutral wall colors paired with durable Mohawk carpet tiles and Sedia Systems fixed seating in a natural maple finish. All materials were chosen specifically for healthcare settings, offering high performance, easy cleanability, and resilience against heavy wear and tear.
The refreshed Lindell Auditorium now provides a comfortable, professional, and durable environment that supports staff engagement and learning for years to come.
