Before launching her own studio, Johanna studied drafting at the Art Institute of Chicago and worked as a lead designer at Centered by Design, where she gained hands-on experience managing comprehensive design projects. Earlier in her career, she worked in theatre and video production, cultivating a deep love of storytelling that now shapes her approach to designing interiors.
