Kirsten Goodwin
SENIOR INTERIOR DESIGNER
Kirsten rejoined the RLH Studio team in late July of 2021 after taking some time to gain additional expertise from working on a wide range of projects with local firms throughout the Twin Cities. In turn, she brings a developed skill set of creativity, critical thinking, and beautiful design.
Her lifelong love for interiors led her to study Interior Design at the University of Minnesota, where she graduated. Today, she thoroughly enjoys working on traditional designs with a fresh sensibility that maintains an approachable, comfortable, and livable aesthetic. Her impeccable eye for detail fairs well when creating these timeless, thoughtful designs for her clients.
When Kirsten is not working with clients, she enjoys spending her time with family or outdoors whenever possible.
