It’s been ten years since I officially started Casework Interior Design! 🔟!!! In those first few years, my energy was devoted to the craft, constantly refining and perfecting how we work to create beautiful spaces for our clients. Over time, something unexpected happened. As our clients welcomed us into their homes, we were also welcomed into their lives. Through these relationships, our design process transformed. Our commitment to excellence and craft became more vivid when connected to their story–the picture of their dog that we include on a hand-painted tile, the wallpaper we choose to complement the hutch that’s been in the family for generations–these are the details that highlight the humanity in our work.

Through collaboration, our work is deeper and becomes richer.

It’s a mindset I’ve also adopted with our team. Every voice at Casework is not just welcomed, it’s essential to our process. We all have a distinct perspective in design, and through dialogue, collaboration, and yes, even conflict, we sharpen each other and transform the spaces that our clients inhabit. I’ve been in this industry for twenty something years, steering the Casework ship for the past ten, and as we celebrate a decade-long milestone, I’m convinced of one thing. We all benefit when everyone has a seat at the table!

In April, the Casework team took some well-earned time off in Palm Springs. We soaked up the sun, made up our own mid century modern home tour and celebrated the milestone! Cheers to ten incredible years!

To Ten More,
Casey

Michele Russo (1909–2004)
After graduating from Yale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1934 and marrying fellow artist Sally Haley, in 1947, they moved to Portland. Russo accepted a position at the Museum Art School, now known as Pacific Northwest College of Art. There, he taught art for over 25 years and became an advocate for the arts. He was one of the founders of Artists Equity, a program meant to unite artists and the community. Later on, he founded the Portland Center for the Visual Arts and was the first artist appointed to the Metropolitan Arts Commission in the 1970s.

When WFH became the new normal invested in a physical location for their team and for Portland. A place where community is valued as much as craft. A place inspired by an artist's studio rather than the corporate office. Filled with nooks and crannies to dream, draw, and drift away because we all know your best work isn't done at the desk. People show up because they value the collaboration and connection being in person creates, even when office hours aren't mandatory. Big thank you to the creative innovators behind Oddfellows. Without this crew of dreamers, this space wouldn't have been possible! Swipe to see their kitchen and a before!

We begin each new project similarly regardless of size, type, style, or location. How do you want to use the space, and how do you want it to make you feel? We believe what’s important is the human connection within space. It can look beautiful, but it feels like a missed opportunity if it doesn’t meet the user's needs. When working with Oddfellows, a digital content agency located in Portland, Oregon, we set 3 key phrases to define our work -- clever, collaborative, and serene.
