One of Kimberly\u2019s most cherished memories is visiting the San Francisco Design Market and taking in every detail. The market\n was the fire behind her passion for pairing furnishings, artwork, and accessories within the home, and continues to inspire her interior design work professionally. Elizabeth enjoyed spending her time as a young creative drawing floor plans of her family\u2019s\n houses, arranging their furniture in different ways to fit the space she was given. Today, her love for floor plans and eye for design drive her creativity professionally.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nWhile training for a marathon together, Elizabeth and Kimberly recognized that they not only had a common aesthetic taste, but also a common set of values, leading them to found Establish Design, formerly Elizabeth Kimberly Design, in 2006. Guided by their\n love for family, friends, and all things beautiful, they saw the potential for growth working side by side and became a brilliant collaborative team that together creates comfortable and appealing home atmospheres. The duo later built upon the company in June\n 2016 by adding architecture to their expertise, and rebranding &nbsp;&nbsp;to fit their vision as a company to the way it exists today.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nThe company\u2019s growth over the past 15 years has included new builds on beautiful properties across the United States. In addition to their many projects throughout the Wasatch Front, Establish Design has had the opportunity to design residences in a variety\n of locations from west coast beaches to Montana ranches. They wanted to fully embrace their success and growth by expanding and having a location where people could come in and fully appreciate their work.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nWith the help of an SBA 504 loan, Kimberly and Elizabeth secured a new building space for their company in the Millcreek area, with completion anticipated for next spring. Designed by the Establish Design Team itself, the location will reflect the business\n and its values. The new building will allow for additional space to create custom homes with details that illuminate lives for years to come.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\nFrom the architecture to the tile, hardware, furnishings, and artwork, Elizabeth and Kimberly design each home to represent the life, aesthetics, and passions of each client. The most important part of their process is creating a home that reflects the personalities\n of those who will dwell within. This new location will allow others to see the beauty that can be created in a space.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"line-height:1.4;font-family:sans-serif;color:#000000;font-size:15px;text-align:left;margin:0 0 15px\">\n\u201cWe offer a true collaboration from architecture down to accessories.
