With 17 years of experience in the industry, Betsy's career encompasses a wide variety of project types and locations. Through each project, she’s learned to enjoy every aspect of the design process and seeks to find opportunities for great design at every turn.
After earning her Master’s Degree, Betsy began her career in Los Angeles, where she developed an appreciation for custom luxury design in both residential and commercial projects.
Over the past 13 years, Betsy has loved living and working in Kansas City. While working at a large commercial firm, she learned the value of the design process and team collaboration. Since opening OAK Design Studio, she has enjoyed guiding her clients through every stage of the project, and working closely with her clients throughout the design process. Her goal with every project is to help you find the delight in great design.
Kelsey is proud to call Kansas City her home, and has ten years of industry experience here.
After earning her Master’s in Architecture and building knowledge through a career in educational design, Kelsey transitioned to the non-profit sector where her love for people thrived. She worked with a local nonprofit to design affordable single- and multi-family homes, and worked closely with homeowners to educate them on both construction and home maintenance.
Kelsey was thrilled to join OAK Design Studio in 2024. With every project, she looks for the human connection - how will the space support both the small nuances and the big adventures of life? She believes great design should do both.
