Horn Design

If you work in design, it’s impossible not to have a favorite building in Chicago. In recognition of World Architecture Day, we asked Horn Design team members “Which building in the city inspires you most?” Stay tuned for our mini-series as each teammate shares their pick.

Meet Alysa — the creative mind behind our detailed 3D models, eye-catching renderings, and the fresh new look of our website. Alysa is also the go-to point of contact for all things rep-related. Want to showcase your latest product or get in front of the team? She’s your girl. From perfectly timed snack breaks to keeping our material library stocked with the latest textures, colors, and finishes, she’s always one step ahead of the trends. When she’s not curating the perfect palette, you can catch her chasing the sun, planning the next happy hour, or soaking up the city one weekend at a time.

Meet Kate — licensed architect, studio lead, and the steady hand guiding our creative chaos. She has an eye for detail, a sixth sense for color, and a supernatural ability to recall every finish, spec, and client preference from memory. While the rest of us are still trying to figure out what “cool beige” means, Kate’s already clocked the undertone and adjusted the palette. When she’s not keeping our studio on track, she’s probably hiking, hanging out with her pets, or equally likely- befriending someone else’s dog.
