“Wishing my dear friend Genevieve Gorder a very happy and fierce birthday!!!

Everyone give her some birthday love!”

For Gorder, interior design and renovation weren’t something she was originally passionate about pursuing.

I didn’t really know that it would become a relevant part of my life.

As a graphic designer, I didn’t know this would parlay into interior design down the road.

It was a happy accident."

He started designing model homes, and realized that interior design was what he wanted to pursue.

“So everything I’ve done through my life just seemed to fit perfectly,” Bromstad toldThe List.

I’m obsessed with it.

It’s the passion I never knew I was going to have."
