Betsy Kirmis
Interior Designer
Betsy was born with an artist's touch. Growing up in a home with an architect's drafting table and vintage interior design books at her fingertips nurtured an unavoidable artistic flare in Betsy. Upon completing her interior design major and art minor at North Dakota State University, Betsy joined forces with Lucy in 2014.

Team members and clients appreciate her propensity for color, fun flare, and joy. And her easy-going nature, willingness to go the extra mile, and team dedication make Betsy a fan favorite.
