IOWA INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO

“As designers our responsibility is not to make it look like what is in style. We are supposed to make a difference and create environments for people that are using it. It should be stimulating and welcoming. It never is supposed to be just what you saw already.”

-Lori Wiles
