Hello faithful family and new friends- it’s been a while since we filled you in on our awesome little company. With so much going on in recent months, projects, and the quick growth spurt we’ve had recently- there is so much amazingness to catch you up on! BEAT THAT CORONA!! 👍🏻

We’ve decided by keeping you consistently updated and creating a space to gain inspiration, ask questions and see the “behind the scenes” work that goes into designing YOUR projects-is an imperative asset to what we want to accomplish with this newly revamped “Designed by Love” Blog!!

For anyone new to Omorfia Designs, we’ll take a second to explain our history. We’ve taken the simple concept of the word OMORFIÁ, which means BEAUTY in Greek (ομορφιά; pronounced ō-morf-iá) and turned it into our brand and lifestyle motto! Beauty in a simple description, is a combination of qualities: shape, color, form, etc. that please our aesthetic senses. We aim to bring that beauty and happiness into every home and relationship... we aspire to change your old spaces into new/refreshing/life-giving/“I never want to leave” spaces. It’s a beautiful thing that we are able to alter our homes and lives as we change and grow through, love, trend and time; becoming personalized reflections of our individual personalities.

Our small business has been owned and operated by Ashley & Jared Dupert for the past two and a half years...and NOW just within the last few months, the creative design team has exploded with the addition of 5 designers, a quick learning intern and Trusty, the shop dog! We all work together to cover an array of design elements including: New Construction/Remodeling, Color Consultations, Floor Planning, Custom Window Treatments & Furniture, Interior Styling, Staging and Retail/Commercial Merchandising. Ashley Dupert is the ring leader of our rowdy circus- mother, friend, confidant & boss babe; master of all product knowledge, ever. Aramely Mendez- art connoisseur; representing our Dominican Republic spice. Kelsey Buelow- double duty new construction/designer; new mother to boot. Jordyn Junkermeier- fresh college graduate; teaching old dogs new tricks. Lindsey Peterson- girl mom, powerhouse; construction/house flipping pro. Mya Chan-absorbent sponge and invaluable intern. Zoe Hill- retail and merchandising design extraordinaire; quasi-wordsmith behind this blog. Meanwhile, Jared Dupert takes care of all things techie, reigns in our FB Marketplace purchases, tells the best dad jokes... not to mention, he’s the emotional sounding board for all this estrogen! 

Understanding the Dupert’s and their desires with establishing this business will help you to better understand the core of their company and beliefs: raising up local designers and sending them out (better equipped) with the tools they need while forming a family of Godly people, presenting God’s “OMORFIÁ” to all of His children. The premise of this Blog comes from an utterly raw concept- We are each individually designed out of the most wonderful, beautiful Creator’s love for us  “Designed with Love” and we use our God-given talents & time to create with that same love/beauty/dedication “Designed by Love” and we are blessed to go out and share it with the world! 

The Dupert’s have created strong missionary roots in Greece throughout the last 10 years- helping establish the first school of worship there (The School of David), forming strong heart ties with Greece’s people and falling in love with their culture AND FOOD! They’ve been confirmed time and time again by the Lord to establish a business model that designates a portion of their profits to be donated to various ministries and their allies in Greece. Creating an underlying, yet equally important motto for the company: “Home Town Design, making a Global Impact.” Their ability to hear and listen to the Lord when He tells them where their next donation NEEDS to go, will always keep Sioux Falls at the foreground of their hearts. Being a local small business solidifies the part of a community that is there to support each other... but more than that, it supports its people in need! (On that note: PLEASE reach out if you know of any various local donations being taken up, we will constantly be assessing where God’s money could be most useful!)

Coinciding with our urge to make our company as personal as possible, we plan on covering a wide variety of info on this platform. We’ll share our wealth of collected knowledge on: our favorite local businesses and national companies to work with (better product understanding, brand rep interviews) answering frequently asked questions (general design know-how, client processes, pros/cons, process with an interior designer) input on trends (newest vs. time tested trends) our current projects (before/afters, steps/processes, follow-ups, client interviews) our inspirations (remodels, new builds, decorating/holiday decor, DIYs, random recipes) our tips and tricks (hot items to buy, sales to shop, spend vs. save, quick/easy home updates & how-to’s) BUT some of the most exciting news we’ll be updating you on, will be the Dupert’s remodeling their own home- with a family of 4 daughters (Riley, Peyton, Braylin & Charley) & 3 fur babies- these full-time parents/entrepreneurs/local church leaders will have their work cut out for them. We will be following along with their own story and using them to give you a first-hand look at the entire experience of remodeling their 12-year-old home, developing a design plan, choosing a style, keeping a budget, product knowledge, all the dirty work & going along for the best part... SHOPPING!! 

We are honored and blessed to be on this journey with you and we hope that by giving you an in-depth, up to date and a direct link to all the things God is doing in our lives & the lives of some of our clients... you’ll be able to feel a personal connection with all of us, because once you’re in the Omorfiá family, you’re family for life!
