Today we’d like to introduce you to Genevieve Wilhelm
Hi Genevieve, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I would definitely say that I had an unorthodox childhood. My family moved from Florida to the Pine Ridge Reservation, the poorest county in the United States, to be missionaries when I was five. We grew up being the minority, being the only Caucasian kids in the entire school. I think that most people are unaware that this level of poverty is even possible today in a country like ours- but it does. I do believe that being exposed to all of this really shaped my desire to want to create a sense of beauty in the world. There seems to be so much negativity today, and if I design a beautiful place or home that a family enjoys and creates memories in then I feel like I’ve done a small part to combat that. My husband and I moved to Tennessee a little over six years ago and I absolutely love what I do as a small business owner and the people I get to work with in the Chattanooga area. It’s a great honor to be invited into their lives to help them create a home that is representative of them.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I think any small business owner would agree that it’s not an easy path, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am able to find and work with the right clients to ensure that we are a good fit and that I’m able to exceed all of their expectations. In the past I’ve worked for design firms where you’re really limited by the companies particular brand/look, and by having my own design firm I am able to really tailor my designs to the individual client’s needs. There’s nothing that I love more than when a new client has been recommended to me from someone that I’ve worked with previously. I think it speaks volumes of relationships that I build with my clients that they’d share their experience with their friends and family.

How do you think about happiness?
I’m happiest when I get to experience new things. My husband and I love to travel, and I constantly draw inspiration for my designs from the places I’ve been and cultures I’ve gotten to experience. People live in all sorts of ways and it’s fascinating to get a glimpse of how diverse our world is. I’m happiest when I’m in a new place, trying new foods, and seeing beautiful architecture.
