As we step into a fresh new year, we at Lita Dirks & Co. want to pause and celebrate the incredible people who make our company the vibrant, creative, and supportive place it is. Our team is the heart of everything we do; bringing innovative interior design solutions to new homebuilders and developers across the country. We believe that great design starts with great people, and we’re proud of a culture that truly values every individual, supports growth, and honors transitions with gratitude and respect.
A Fond Farewell to Emma
One of our standout team members, Emma, is moving on to an exciting new chapter. Emma joined us as an intern from design school and quickly proved herself indispensable in our Purchasing Agent role over the past two years. Her keen eye for detail, proactive approach, and genuine passion for the work made her an absolute joy to collaborate with every day.
We’re overjoyed to share that Emma and her husband are preparing to welcome their first child in just a few weeks! After relocating to Idaho a couple of years ago for his career and continuing to bring her exceptional talent and energy to our team remotely, Emma has decided to step into this beautiful new chapter of motherhood. She’s generously staying with us right up until the end of January, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
While we’ll miss her tremendously, we’re truly thrilled for the adventures and joy that lie ahead for her growing family. Moments like these remind us how wonderfully life evolves, and we celebrate the love and courage it takes to embrace such meaningful change.
Emma, thank you for your unwavering dedication, infectious positivity, and the lasting impact you’ve made on all of us at Lita Dirks & Co. You will always be part of our family!
(And yes—we’re actively hiring for the Purchasing Agent position, so if you or someone you know is passionate about design and procurement, we’d love to hear from you!)
Welcoming Kris to the Full-Time Team
On a brighter note, we’re delighted to share that we’ve brought Kris on board as a full-time team member! Kris started with us as an intern and impressed everyone with her talent, work ethic, and fresh ideas. We simply couldn’t let her go—so we created a new position tailored to her strengths.
In her role, Kris will continue working closely with our talented designers, providing essential administrative support while also assisting Michaela and Lita directly. We’re still finalizing the official title, but one thing is certain: Kris is already making a meaningful difference.
This move reflects what we value most at Lita Dirks & Co.—recognizing potential, nurturing growth, and doing whatever it takes to keep exceptional people on our team. From intern to integral full-time contributor, Kris’s journey is a perfect example of how we invest in our employees’ futures.
Why Our People Matter Most
At Lita Dirks & Co., our culture is built on appreciation, opportunity, and genuine care. Whether someone is starting as an intern, growing into new responsibilities, or stepping into life’s next phase, we believe in celebrating every story. We honor those who move on with gratitude and create pathways for those who stay to thrive.
It’s this people-first approach that fuels our creativity and allows us to deliver exceptional models and spaces that sell to people you truly have to respect and love people to convey that message – all done through thoughtful emotional merchandising. When our team feels valued and supported, it shows in the inspired work we produce for our clients.
Here’s to an amazing 2026 filled with growth, collaboration, and even more talented individuals joining our family. Thank you to Emma, Kris, and every member of our team—you make Lita Dirks & Co. extraordinary.
