Interior design that aligns with you.

Serving Northwest Iowa and Beyond

Helping midwestern families and brands create harmony.

 

Welcome!

If we were sharing a cup of coffee across a table, we’d ask you dozens of questions. We’d uncover your why, revealing what has prompted you to pursue a new or updated home. If you are an entrepreneur, CEO or VP, we’d discover why you’re so passionate about the business you run and learn of the big dreams you have for its future.

At Align Creative Design, we collaborate with you to create the ideal atmosphere for your home or business, helping you handle the tiny details and big decisions.

Your end result won’t be a trend…but it might start one.

Takes the pressure off the entire process!

We've worked with Kristin on several projects over the years. We keep coming back, because she has so much to offer. From helping with designing our space to picking out finishes, Kristin could walk with us from the beginning to the end. She has a great sense of the process and the details needed to get it completed. She helped keep us on task and was a wonderful intermediary to our contractors. She is able to visualize and takes the time to think things through. Kristin's design sense is uniquely flexible, she is very professional, and she helped take the pressure off the entire process. We couldn't do our projects without someone qualified to walk alongside us. We are very thankful for her gifts!

Meet the Designer

Hi, I’m Kristin Mellema. As a native midwestern, wife, mom of six, and interior designer, my life is constantly changing and rebalancing. Because of my busy schedule and entrepreneurial ventures, I turned my home into a beautiful, functional workhorse, one that can withstand a little grit and a lot of long days.

Conveniently, this is also what I do for my clients. Whether they are building a new home, remodeling, or transforming their place of business, I align myself with their goals and help them create the atmosphere of peace, harmony, and balance they’ve always needed.

Truly perfect for our family!

When we purchased a 1973 house that was in need of updating, we knew we needed to bring in an expert to help solve some of our layout and design issues and maximize our existing space. Kristin was the perfect person for the job. She is a dream to work with, she has a great understanding of how to make the most of a space and provided us with multiple options for layouts. She also helped us bring our space to life and achieve our vision for how it looked by assisting with picking out finishes, light fixtures, tile and more. We are so thankful for the work she did - it helped us create a space that is truly perfect for our family and has worked well for the way we live!
