Custom Interior Design Center

Erica comes to us with experience in both Design and Sales – in fact, we first met Erica as our rep at CAP Carpet almost 17 years ago! Luckily the stars aligned for Hanson Builders in 2017 and we were able to bring Erica onto our Interior Design team.

Erica says the fun and collaborative design process here at Hanson Builders makes this job a dream come true! She enjoys working with homeowners and getting inspired to help customize their own personal dream homes. No two are ever alike!

When she’s not here at her dream job, Erica and her husband (who was born and raised in England!) are busy with their two kids and all of their sports and activities. She’s also passionate about updating and remodeling her own home, enjoying as many vacations with her family as she can possibly get, exploring new boutiques around the cities, and of course reading up on the trends in home design, color, and style. We are proud to have her on the team and you are going to love working with her to make your dream home come true!

Emily has been a part of our interior design team since 2013. She is a true creative at heart who has the ability to imagine a client’s dream space and bring it to life. Her perspective and working style adds immense value to our client experience during the design process. From the exterior shingle color to the perfect shade of grout, Emily will support homeowners in selecting beautiful finishes for their new home that are not only aesthetically beautiful, but also functional. Positive, uplifting, and a can-do attitude is what you can expect when you work with Emily. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and chasing after their two young children. Emily also loves spending time outdoors in the summertime, bonfires with family and friends, and heading up north for a long, relaxing weekend.
