DESIGNER. DREAMER. BIG CITY LOVER. RURAL BY CHOICE.
Theisen Design Studios was started in the fall of 2010 by the Principal Interior Designer, Sarah Carlson in New York Mills, MN. Sarah brought over four years of commercial interior design experience based out of Minneapolis interior design firms and has now combined that with over ten years of commercial interior design experience based out of the New York Mills area. This gives Theisen Design Studios the unique perspective of rural roots and metropolitan experience. Specializing in commercial design, Theisen Design Studios offers a full service interior design studio.
Sarah’s approach to design stems from a love of storytelling and problem solving, with an eye for color and a passion for sustainable practices. With a wide range of project experience from schools, offices, churches, clinics, healthcare environments and assisted living centers to hotels, restaurants and retail spaces, Sarah brings an eye for detail and a strong sense of place to every project.
Sarah holds a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, is a LEED ID+C Accredited Professional and is a Certified Interior Designer in the State of Minnesota.

Commercial design starts with a space and a few ideas.
PROGRAMMING...
Interior design starts with your needs. After we set the initial scope of work, we work together to draw out information on how your group works and interacts and what the goals of your space really are.
Let’s make your space work for you.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT...
This is where the magic happens and the fun begins. Design development is quite literally the development of the design from the bottom up…we layer together space plans that focus on functionality, start to think about aesthetics in finishes and details, create areas for branding, create visual moments that help with way finding, begin to develop ideas for furniture selections and create lighting layouts that add the final look and feel of the space.
Let’s make your space tell your story.
FINISH SELECTION...
Things are starting to get real at this point. By prioritizing functionality and safety without sacrificing style or aesthetics, we start to apply actual commercial grade finishes to the space we’ve created. From flooring to ceiling, walls to millwork, the interior vision is applied to all surfaces.
Let’s make your space feel like your brand.
DRAFTING + DOCUMENTATION...
An idea in your head doesn’t get very far that way and it’s the same for all the work we’ve done up to this point. We take all the decisions we’ve made about how the space should work, what the space should say and how the space is telling the story of your brand and put it on paper. Construction documents are drafted up with all the details to make your space become a reality.
Let’s make this happen.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES + EQUIPMENT...
The space is designed and it’s incredible. Now we round it out with furniture and lighting that will not only fit the space aesthetically but also will stand up to commercial use.
Let’s get the final details nailed down.
3D MODELING...
In order to make sure we’re all seeing the same space as it evolves three dimensionally through the design process, we can create a 3D computer generated model showing exactly how an end user might navigate your space, how that space is telling your story and how your brand is highlighted at every opportunity.
Let’s see it come to life together.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT...
Having a partner with an eye on the design goals and experience of the construction process will set your project up for a smooth ride. We can be a part of every meeting, site visit and project decision to bring your space to completion with the least amount of stress.
Let’s get this built!
