Bringing bespoke architectural detail to the HEART

NORTHSIDE KITCHEN DESIGNS
About
After more than 10 years at the right hands of some of the most notable in this industry I decided to leverage my knowledge and go out on my own. With that decision came the freedom to truly create Client led designs, no longer tied to any specific brands, products, or precedents. While my background specialized in high-end residential interior architecture and design, namely kitchens, baths & cabinetry, I now use that experience to deliver a blend of that upscale aesthetic with practical and functional design, serving a broader audience with fresh approaches to one of the most used and valued rooms in any home, the kitchen. I believe a well designed space, like a fresh blanket of snow over the city, is calming to the senses, which allows you to focus on what is most important in your life.

Testimonials
"Having had no experience with a major renovation, we needed someone to guide us through the entire process of bringing the barely-functional 1952 kitchen in our 100-year Chicago bungalow into the modern era. Thank goodness we found NorthSide Kitchen Designs! Gena was with us every step of the way, from discovery through the early-pandemic build. Our functional, beautiful kitchen uses every inch of space perfectly while honoring the roots of our home’s history. We loved working with Gena so much that we also used her services when it was time to renovate our primary bathroom." - Rachel
​
"We had a great experience working with NorthSide Kitchen Designs. Gena listened and responded to our questions during the design process. She also offered storage solutions that are functional and accessible, even including some we did not know we needed like our appliance garage, which we love. Her great attention to detail was apparent as our dream kitchen came together in our new home. We would not change a thing." - Susan
