BEST COMMERCIAL ARCHITECT
Winner: JLG Architects
“JLG is extremely honored by this, especially considering that it is voted on by the community. At our firm, community is our passion. We create buildings but we build relationships. Our ability to impact Fargo-Moorhead, bringing great design to life in our hometown, is what gets us out of bed each morning. To be honored for doing that is just a bonus.
“At JLG, we ‘design for life.’ What this means to each of us is different, but it really comes back to helping our clients and our region understand the impact and value of great design. Whether it is a school, a clinic or an office building,our projects impact our clients in profound ways and are great places to learn, heal and work. Each project is an opportunity to educate a whole new group on the importance of design. We also feel strongly that well- designed projects don’t have to cost more. In fact, our projects are more economical to build and more efficient to operate. The ability to deliver value like that to clients is exciting.”

BEST INTERIOR DESIGNER
Winner: Monica Hart Interior Design
“It is truly an honor to even be considered. I feel our community is filled with many talented people who are designing beautiful spaces. I am grateful each and every day to be passionate about my job and enjoy what I do. To know that others may be inspired by my designs makes me incredibly happy!
“I am inspired by my colleagues, whose work I admire and appreciate both in residential and commercial design. I am inspired by new products and finding ways to use them. But I am mostly inspired by my clients and the desire to make their project goals a reality. It is important to me that each one of my projects looks different. I want them to be a reflection of my client—not me.”
