about Fresh Space Design
Fresh Space Design is a Minneapolis, Minnesota and Phoenix based full-service interior design firm that specializes in planning custom, residential remodeling projects. Working directly with homeowners or contractors, we value:
AUTHENTICITY
The heart of every project is you. We want your redesigned spaces to look like you, not us. Our goal is that you are delighted with your spaces, that
they allow you to live, work, and play better. The best compliment we receive is that a redesigned or remodeled space “looks like it was
meant to be that way”!
APPROACHABILITY
Our process is designed to help make you feel comfortable. We encourage you to share your vision. We listen and explore ideas together. We see your home from your point of view. We then suggest changes that will
truly make a difference.
ARTFUL CREATION
We bring our expertise and creativity to every project. We
balance aesthetics (how does it look?) and function (does it work?)
to create a one-of-a-kind result that expresses your definition of beauty, function and home.
ATTAINABILITY
We are available to help with a range of project sizes and budgets. We will review your blueprints or DIY designs, help you find the perfect rug, design a single-room remodel or an entire home transformation.
ABOUT GAIL JACOBSON
Gail's appreciation for interior design began at age ten, when her mother redecorated their suburban townhouse with rich orange, blue and apple green walls. It seemed perfectly natural and right to her! Gail spent her youth in art-related pursuits – drawing, painting, singing, dancing, and acting in plays and musicals. Her home was filled with the sounds of opera, jazz and classical music. Needless to say, pursuing an art-related career was a foregone conclusion.
After earning a BFA and MFA in fine arts, Gail explored life as a studio artist, arts educator, and jewelry designer. It was only upon buying and renovating her 1916 bungalow that she discovered her true calling - helping people love and live better in their homes. Gail enrolled in an Interior Design program and was bitten by the remodeling process. She's never looked back.
Fresh Space Design was born from Gail's passion for providing homeowners an extraordinary interior design experience, with finished spaces that express their definition of home. Twenty years as a designer has affirmed her belief that our interior spaces are critical to our, joy, productivity, and well-being. Creating a well-designed space is a journey. Gail is honor to be a trusted partner in her clients' journeys!
