“My passion is creating spaces that people want to be in. A space that not only fits the needs of clients but inspires everyone that experiences it.”

Linda is PRA’s specialist when it comes to all things interior design. Her journey in the industry began in high school, where she enrolled in art drafting and interior designing classes. She realized she enjoyed tapping into her creative side and knew she wanted to pursue it as a career. Today, she has over 30 years of experience and is nothing short of being considered an expert, which is one of the reasons why she is PRA’s Director of Interior Design as well as a Principal.

In 1992, she came to PRA, and since then continued to expand her skills. She says the evolution of the company and the countless opportunities to grow professionally and personally is what she appreciates the most. Every day and every year are different because of how dynamic her role is. She explains it as “always ebbing and flowing.”

As Director of the Interior Design Studio, she mainly plays an oversight role on projects, which includes ensuring her team has the resources they need to be successful and keeping projects on schedule, but she seizes every opportunity to work directly with clients. She enjoys every step of the project process from researching and uncovering the wants of the client to designing a customized space. The process is where she finds her inspiration to create innovative designs. Through discovery, she learns who the client is and takes those findings to develop ideas until one resonates. There is nothing more satisfying to her than starting with an idea of what could be and taking it through each stage of developing it, evolving it, and building it.

Outside of work, Linda is a board member at the Family Sharing in Ozaukee County where she has led food drives for those in need. She feels it is a great fit for her to not only get involved in her community but also to help people who are less fortunate. When she has a spare moment, you can find her pursuing her other passions such as playing tennis, camping, kayaking, hanging out with her family, or in her yard gardening.
