Meet Kira

Kira is the founder and owner of the award-winning company Zestful Design. Her specialties include decluttering, occupied staging, organizing, and interior design. She believes that home organization and interior design are intertwined and that an organized pantry can be just as stunning as a redesigned living room. All of her projects start with decluttering because Kira understands the burden of clutter and how rewarding it is when all the excess finds a new home.

For those moving, Kira knows what it takes to sell a home for top dollar. She expertly prepares homes to list by decluttering, packing, updating, project management, and staging. Not only does she offer staging consultations with a detailed list of recommendations, but she will complete the entire list for you! Her focus is helping those who live in their homes throughout the sales process and she is well-known for handling more significant life transitions such as downsizing, divorces, dealing with excess clutter, loss of a loved one, or moving out of the home they’ve lived in for decades. Her remarkable before and after transformations can be found on Zestful Design social media sites.

Kira has been profiled in Midwest Home, Maple Grove Magazine, and Osseo Maple Grove Press. She has written articles on home organizing, decluttering, staging and design for Maple Grove Magazine, Plymouth Magazine, Lake Minnetonka Magazine, UMBRA, and Minnesota Parent Magazine. She has also been featured on multiple podcasts.

Zestful Design has won multiple awards including Star Tribune’s  Minnesota’s Best Interior Design Firm 2024 (gold) Home Staging 2024 (bronze), Interior Design Firm 2023 (bronze), Maple Grove Magazine’s Best Interior Designer in 2023 and 2024, and was a Maple Grove Magazine’s Best Interior Designer Finalist in 2022.

Kira enjoys helping people declutter, prepare to sell, and downsize so much so that she has created multiple classes and is a sought after speaker on these topics.

Zestful Design is the only Native American woman-owned small business that provides staging and design services for commercial, residential, and government clients across the Twin Cities and nationwide virtually.
