Let’s make beautiful things happen.

Book a Design Consult

Hi! I’m Ginger. Maybe you already know me & if so you know I have a reputation for working with material, color and design. I’m now taking clients on a limited basis for architectural surface design, finish installation and sourcing. To include mosaics, plaster, drywall and tile work. Clients bring me in post-framing to prepare substrate & to implement finish installation.

Surface Design & Finish Contractor

I focus on intentional, projects where detail, material quality, and finish matter.

Surface Design for Development Projects

I provide custom tile, mosaic and textured surface installations for residential and commercial development projects. My work adds material depth, durability, and visual distinction to interiors without disrupting construction schedules.

I specialize in finishes using plaster, lime, silica, stone, slate, marble, basalt, sand, crystals, and reclaimed natural materials. These surfaces are designed for longevity and visual impact in both wet and dry environments when installed on properly prepared substrates.

Where My Work Fits in the Build

I typically join projects:

After framing and waterproofing are complete
Once drywall or cement board is installed and ready for finish work
During renovation phases where surface upgrades create value without full rebuilds

I coordinate directly with project managers, site supervisors, and licensed contractors.

Wet & High-Moisture Applications

Bathrooms, showers, steam rooms, and spa environments, installed over existing waterproofed systems prepared by the build team.

Dry Interior Applications

Feature walls, lobbies, stairwells, corridors, and unit interiors using sheetrock, plaster, or wood substrates.

Light-Conscious Design

Surface texture and aggregate selection are designed with lighting conditions in mind to ensure materials read correctly under both natural and installed light.

Project Scale & Timeline

Typical project minimum: $1000+
Average timeline: 1–2 weeks per scope
Ideal for feature installations, value-add renovations, and differentiated unit upgrades

Ideal Clients

Residential and mixed-use developers
Hospitality and short-term rental operators
Design-build teams seeking a reliable specialty finish partner

Scope Clarity

I provide surface design and mosaic application only. Structural work, waterproofing, and substrate preparation are completed by licensed trades.

Long-Term Partnerships

I am open to preferred-vendor relationships for developers seeking a reliable specialty finish partner for ongoing or multi-site projects.

Open Call! I need 5 More Mural Host Sites for a 2026 Art Trail Map

I am Looking for Mural Host Sites! Do you want to be a Host?

Join me in creating a vibrant mural at your site. Let’s work together to add a story and create warmth on your interior or exterior walls. Hand painted, vinyl, fitted and framed or wallpaper application.

Why be a Mural Host? Intentional public art on the side of your building, or interior walls turn industrial cold spaces into vibrant, eye-catching destinations—ones that become a go-to spot for tourists and locals. In a city like Duluth, where tourism thrives, a mural can quickly become an experience in its own right, drawing in people eager for a perfect selfie backdrop and helping your business stand out.

But it's not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a sense of community. Murals make spaces feel more welcoming and connected, showing locals and visitors alike that this is a place that celebrates creativity and collaboration.

By hosting a mural project you can expect a process that looks like this:

determine location and size
decide if you will involve your team in the process, making it an inspiring team-building event or rely on my talented artist team to deliver a vibrant mural
determine if your mural will be painted or applied as printed vinyl or wallpaper
write a letter of support for our co-created mural to be submitted to local funders
patience: up to 6 months for funding
four to six weeks is the expected production and installation timeline during a selected timeframe of your choosing.

Let’s create something beautiful that tells a story, makes an impact, and keeps people coming back.

Benefits: You will be listed on my yearly illustrated & printed Art Trail Map which is a free promotional tool to be distributed to the public. If you’re selected as a host site there will be a celebratory opening promoted to the media, public, funders, volunteers and supporters.
