Partnerships
I’m proud to collaborate with talented local businesses across the Twin Cities who share the same commitment to quality, creativity, and great customer service that I do. This page highlights some of the trusted partners I work with to help bring beautiful, personalized spaces to life in our community.
What a Collaboration Looks Like:
Design-led custom accent walls & murals
You share your design board idea with me, we revise as needed and then you send it to your client. I execute the vision through custom wooden accent walls, or hand painted murals. My role is to support your creative direction while delivering high-quality craftsmanship that fits seamlessly into your overall design plan.
Professional on-site execution
I work efficiently and respectfully in both residential and small commercial spaces, coordinating with other trades as needed. Designers partner with me for clean installation, clear timelines, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Can’t stand contractors who are terrible at communication? Me too. That won’t be your experience working with me!
Before & after project photography
Each collaboration includes before and after photos that capture the transformation of the space. These images are available for your portfolio, social media, and marketing use, helping you showcase completed projects with confidence.
Social media recognition during the project
I highlight interior designer collaborations through my social media posts and stories throughout the project, tagging and crediting your business while sharing the creative process and final result with my audience. Past partnerships have shown so much appreciation for this gesture when their follower count rises due to homeowners seeing the design process come alive. The collaborations we have, the more times your business will be shown to my followers.
Website feature with business links
When you choose to partner with me as an interior designer, you’ll be featured on my website with photos, a brief project description, and a link back to your business, creating long-term visibility and added SEO value for both of us.
Local Businesses I’m Proud to Partner With:
Happy Place Interiors
Melanie Zaelich
Owner, Home Stylist, & Interior Designer
Associate ASID
Certified True Color Expert
Melanie is a talented interior designer who I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with on multiple client projects. She has trusted me with several of her clients, and together we’ve brought their visions to life — from a dining room with custom wainscoting on all four walls, to double slat board and batten in a living room, to interior wall painting in another client’s home, and another board and batten in a client’s living room.
Melanie is truly wonderful to work with, and her clients know they can trust her to thoughtfully guide their space from concept to completion.
