Becky

Lead Interior Designer

Becky leads interior design at North Haven, with a BA in Interior Design from the University of Minnesota and 30+ years of residential design experience. She specializes in marrying design and construction — the through-line that defines every North Haven project.

She works directly with homeowners on stand-alone interior design engagements as well as on every full design-build project the firm runs.

24 Years of Building Well

North Haven Design Build was founded in Minneapolis in 2001 with a clear purpose: to deliver the kind of high-end custom homes and luxury remodels that the Twin Cities' most successful neighborhoods deserved. From Edina to Minnetonka, from Eden Prairie to Chanhassen, the firm has grown steadily through word of mouth and the trust of design partners who share our standard of work.

We work alongside Twin Cities design partners on many of our projects — a meaningful share of our clients reach us through referrals from interior designers and design pros who only send clients to contractors they trust implicitly. That relationship speaks to the culture we've built: detail-oriented, design-forward, and rigorous in execution.

In recent years, we have moved toward more custom ground-up builds while continuing to serve our loyal remodel clients. Custom homes allow our team to apply the full depth of the design-build process, from site planning and architectural design through construction management and final finish work, all coordinated under one contract and one point of contact. Whether you're searching for a custom home builder near you or a trusted remodel partner, we're here.
