Meet Ashley Obradovits – Design Team Lead of Interiors
Ashley Obradovits, the lead designer, has an eclectic style that is ever evolving. Raised by designer Sonja Willman, Ashley has had one of the most coveted internships in the industry. Many aesthetics have followed her throughout her childhood, including French Country, Cottage and Traditional. Spending countless hours at antique shows & auctions, she’s quick to find a treasure piece in a huge pile of stuff. Ashley always attended markets with her mom to assist in selecting pieces for the Willman’s retail store, Summerhouse. During her summers home from college, Ashley split her time between Summerhouse and interning at Pape Studio Architects.
Meet Janelle Helms – Kitchen & Bath Designer
Many of our designers have at one time or another been leaders in learning. Being a past educator, Janelle has a seemingly endless supply of patience and an appetite for acquiring knowledge. She is an attentive listener and capable of shouldering a tremendous workload that is inherent in both her past profession and current one!
Meet Todd Rausch – Master Craftsman & Business Owner
Todd is a Craftsman. He is also Project Manager, VP of Operations, and business owner, husband to me and dad to our 3 kids. He quietly studies the world around, absorbing its lines and textures until a spark strikes.
His power to build something of architectural significance and beauty, without a set of plans, with nothing but an image in his mind, inspires awe in me. What is second nature to Todd, easier than breathing (that is true he has a deviated septum;-), is what has always made our homes truly #NothingOrdinary.
Meet Wendy Kuhn – Senior Kitchen and Bath Designer
When I walk into the spaces she’s designed, they inspire me. I am always learning something from her. She pushes me to be better. To see things differently. She is gentle and curious. You can see it in her soul that she wants the best for her customers. No one pays attention better than she does. It shows up in all the meaningful details that fill the spaces she designs. Knowing how to put others first is her default. People are not always kind. I have witnessed her remain kind when kindness was not present. There is nothing in this industry she cannot figure out. When you’re in a space she’s designed, you don’t want to leave. It’s so personal, beautiful and comforting. I don’t believe you can find a better person to design your space. She’s really been a Senior Designer for years. It was about time we gave her the title!
– Jenny Rausch, Owner of Karr Bick
Meet Jenny Rausch – Mother, Designer, & Business Owner
With several TV shows under her belt, Jenny thinks you know enough about her and if you don’t it’s pretty easy to figure her out. Her videos and TV shows speak for her skills as a designer. Her people are who she wants you to get to know. Jenny is most proud of her three beautiful, loving and forgiving children. Their hugs and snuggles are what she’s decided life is about. She has loved Wonder Woman since she first wore the underoos at age 5 and if cornered would say her greatest superpower is her intuition. She wants her kids to remember always, that life begins at the edge of their comfort zone, and they need to use their super powers for good.
