Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Tiersa, founder and lead architect at Brick and Mortar design studio. With over fifteen years of industry experience, I bring a wealth of expertise and lessons learned to guide your project from ideation through the construction process. I'm passionate about design and helping entrepreneurs grow and flourish through opening or expanding their brick-and-mortar businesses.

 

My passion for designing spaces began with exploring Legos and setting up Barbie's home. I knew architecture was my path in high school, where I took drafting and interior design classes. So I pursued my master's degree at North Dakota State University, then worked in small and mid-sized firms for over a dozen years designing and managing commercial projects ranging from small interior remodels to multi-million-dollar extensive renovations. I'm excited to bring my experience to your project and create memorable spaces together that share your story and build brand enthusiasts.

KIND WORDS FROM ONE-OF-A-KIND CLIENTS

"...Tiersa was very knowledgeable, personable, and great to work with. Taking the time to learn about the variety of factors that influence the customer experience of a business was well worth it. It has helped us immensely in the planning process and saved us from pitfalls that could have been very costly to redo in the future."

—Ashley Gustafson, Unbound Adventures
