  Blending Fine Arts to Make Even Finer Interiors

 

At Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design, we believe that art isn’t just something to hang on your walls—it’s the soul of a space. That’s why we’re thrilled to officially launch our Interior Design Program, a natural evolution of what we’ve always done: pairing beautiful artwork with thoughtful interiors that tell your story.

 


 

And to lead this exciting new chapter, we’re proud to welcome Hannah as our in-house interior designer!

 

Meet Hannah: The Heart Behind Our Design Services

Hi, I'm Hannah! I'm a native Iowan who grew up in Beaverdale and still calls Des Moines home. Creativity has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—something my mom nurtured in me from a young age. That early love for design eventually led me to Iowa State University, where I graduated from their renowned Interior Design program. I still enjoy staying connected to the ISU community by visiting and volunteering at design events whenever I can.


These days, my husband and I are raising our 5-year-old son alongside two dogs and a cat—life is wonderfully full, a little chaotic, and incredibly fun.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Liz and the gallery team for years on design collaborations, so officially joining forces felt like a natural evolution. I’ve always believed that art is an essential part of interior design—it brings emotion, depth, and a true sense of identity to a space.


Professionally, I’m an interior designer with a passion for creating spaces that feel both elevated and deeply lived-in. With over a decade of experience—and a background in both design-build construction and interior decorating—I blend technical expertise with a refined, intuitive sense of style. My work is all about striking a thoughtful balance between form and function, always tailored to the way people actually live in their homes.

My design philosophy centers on storytelling through space. I love working with intentional layouts, layered materials, and rich textures to create interiors that feel timeless and personal. I'm known for my calm, collaborative approach and my ability to see potential where others might not.


Throughout my career, I’ve pursued opportunities to expand and enrich my perspective as a designer. I’ve participated in Design Chicago twice—once as a featured ambassador—and attended the Kravet Design Experience in New York City. I’ve also had the unique opportunity to assist in two Kips Bay Palm Beach showhouses, & attend several other Kips Bay show houses where I was immersed in some of the country’s top designers’ creativity. In addition, I’ve attended both the International Builders’ Show and the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, staying engaged with the latest innovations, materials, and trends in the field. These experiences, along with my many travels, continue to inspire and inform my approach to thoughtful, layered interiors.

For me, the most rewarding part of this work is building relationships—whether it’s earning the trust of clients or collaborating closely with talented tradespeople, artisans, and creatives. Whether it’s a single-room refresh or a full-home transformation, I bring clarity, creativity, and care to every detail.


I’m looking forward to meeting and working with you on your spaces! - Hannah
