KFM Designs Interiors

Born and raised in the Twin Cities, I’ve always been inspired by thoughtful design. Minnesota’s vibrant four seasons and ten thousand lakes have shaped my creative approach, encouraging the use of rich colors, layered textures, and organic patterns to craft spaces that feel both cohesive and comfortable. Grounded in a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, I’ve built a strong foundation of technical expertise and a keen eye for balanced, visually engaging aesthetics.

Over the past eleven years, I’ve specialized in furniture and flooring installation, refining my skills across every phase of the process, from take-offs to walk throughs. My attention to detail and proven systems have supported a wide range of successful, high-impact projects.

My passion extends beyond traditional, modern and high end design, I'm also invested in family compound concepts, accessible and age-in-place solutions, and smart home integration, crafting spaces that evolve with the people who live in them.

As a dedicated industry professional, I’m an active member and volunteer of esteemed organizations such as ASID, RESA, WINC, Habitat for Humanity & Joy Collaborative continuously expanding my knowledge and network. I’ve also enhanced my leadership and business acumen through industry specific programs, including the Minority Contractor Business Development (MCBD) with JeDunn and the AGC Leadership "Blueprint" with the Association of General Contractors.

Beyond design, I enjoy being social with family, friends and peers. I'm an earth-friendly advocate who approaches life with patience and humility, a proud mother of three boys, all Minnesota sports teams fan, and someone who finds time for good food, music, movies and people.

KFM's Vision: To design fluid interior spaces through intentional, sustainable and inclusive installs that encourage people to unplug and recharge. We aim to provide stellar service and ensure a seamless process while keeping our clients peace-of-mind, schedule and budget in check.

What's being said about KFM Designs' service

Karla was very easy to work with, she showed up on time, ready to work and understood her scope of work. As a Developer and General Contractor I find value in knowing I have professionals on my job sites. I would recommend and work with her again when given the chance.

Karla did an excellent job walking me through the process. She involved me every step of the way and maintained an open line of communication for each phase. Karla kept an open mind with different options and made sure to accept any new ideas from myself as the process carried along. She always made herself available for appointments and brought interesting ideas to the table. Karla helped to transition the space to be more functional and modernly stylish, and I would definitely work with her again and refer her to others on any future project. I very much appreciate her work.
