Designer
Kami Buckwalter
Kami brings over 15 years of experience to the kitchen and bath industry and a passion for continued growth. One of her favorite moments is the final reveal — seeing the joy on her clients’ faces when a dream space comes to life. Her design style leans toward clean, simple lines with neutral palettes and bold accents that make a statement. When she’s not designing, Kami enjoys exploring new places with her husband and son, golfing, camping, and making new memories with family.
Designer and Business Partner
Melissa Monaghan
Following in her father’s footsteps, Melissa entered the kitchen and bath industry over 15 years ago and has been helping clients create homes they love ever since. She draws on her experience and knowledge to guide homeowners through renovations that feel both functional and personal. While she appreciates all design styles, she’s especially drawn to the charm of modern farmhouse blended with classic, traditional touches. Outside of work, Melissa enjoys time with her family and soaking up the outdoors.

Tracie
Tracie discovered her love for design as a child, captivated by interior design magazines and the way every element of a room could come together to create something beautiful. That passion led her to earn a degree in Interior Design from MSU and build a career spanning more than 20 years in the kitchen and bath industry. She specializes in blending functionality and beauty to bring her clients’ dream spaces to life. While she enjoys all design styles, her favorite part is helping clients create personalized, harmonious interiors that reflect their unique lifestyles and tastes. Tracie spends her free time reading, going on walks and enjoying the sunset from her front porch.

Jen Sesniak
Jen grew up surrounded by construction, learning the trade from her dad, who ran his own company. After earning her interior design degree, she began her career in kitchen and bath design and now has over 20 years of experience. She loves blending form and function to create beautiful, practical spaces tailored to her clients’ families and lifestyles. While she enjoys designing in every style, her personal aesthetic mixes mid-century elements with natural accents and plenty of plants. In her free time, Jen loves hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors with her daughter — or relaxing with a good book.

Mekisha
Mekisha has always had a passion for design and creating beautiful spaces. A graduate of Central Michigan University, she majored in Interior Design with double minors in Art and Construction Management. She grew up working alongside her dad, a self-employed contractor, learning the ins and outs of construction from an early age. With nearly 20 years of experience in kitchen and bath design — starting at Home Depot in the Detroit area — she loves bringing clients’ visions to life and seeing their excitement when a dream space becomes reality. Away from the showroom, Mekisha enjoys gardening and yard work, reimagining the interiors of her own home, and relaxing beachside whenever she can.

Heather’s love for design began in childhood, inspired by home renovation shows that sparked her passion for transforming spaces.

With more than 10 years of experience in the kitchen and bath industry, she has built a strong skill set in creating spaces that balance beauty and function. Heather approaches every project with a focus on how design can improve her clients’ everyday lives.
