A fresh start isn’t just for the new year - it’s something you can embrace anytime. In this episode, we sit down with acclaimed interior designer Elizabeth Krueger, founder of Chicago-based Elizabeth Krueger Design (EKD) - one of the country’s top residential design firms.

Since launching EKD in 2012, Elizabeth has built a reputation for creating warm, inviting spaces that bring people together. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Luxe Interiors + Design, and many other top publications.

At the heart of her process is an ability to foster trust, ensuring each project reflects her clients’ lives in a way that feels effortless yet deeply personal.

Beyond her design work, Elizabeth is known for her collaborative spirit. Alongside her business partner Sid Parack, she co-founded Opame Collective - a curated assemblage of furniture, art, accessories, and textiles. Each piece is thoughtfully selected with a focus on material integrity, proportion, and expert craftsmanship.

Elizabeth brings inspiration wherever she goes, whether through her work, her contagious enthusiasm, or simply by being herself.

Tune in for a conversation on designing spaces that encourage rest, reflection, and renewal all year long.
