Laurie Pacheco, Designer

Laurie has an extensive background in design, marketing, merchandising, sales and business management. She has spent many years designing and creating environments for her clients that suit their needs and lifestyle. With a passion for detail, she spends a great deal of time with every client before the project begins, in order to understand what their vision may be for the use of space no matter the size of the project.   This initial step is crucial to incorporate the client’s style, their vision of purpose, and the feeling they want that space to provide. From initial plans to completion, Laurie guides the client through every decision and selection.

“Building your home or creating a special space should be an exciting and fun experience. I love to take my clients through the entire process with a positive attitude and assure them that the end goal is to create a quality-built space that they can walk into and absolutely love spending time there.”

Laurie specializes in creating rustic, modern environments that feature the Montana lifestyle. She has created and completed both new builds and remodels ranging in size from 12,000sq ft to small intimate specific spaces. Every single project is special and treated the same, regardless of style or budget.

“Building a space that a client loves takes integrity, intelligence and energy.  If I provide all three of these qualities to every project, the outcome is a happy client.”

Additionally, Laurie is a native of Montana, born and raised on a large horse and cattle ranch, and currently resides in the Flathead Valley with her husband of 25 years and her two grown sons and their young families. She is a licensed Realtor, a past Bigfork Chamber of Commerce President, and loves spending her free time with Chica, her Belgian Malinois and Chico, her buckskin quarter horse.

    I had the pleasure of working with Laurie Pacheco on a project for a mutual client of ours. As an Architect, I have had the opportunity to work with many interior designers and I can honestly say that Laurie is one of the best. She is thoughtful, organized, and her attention to design and details made her an invaluable member of the team. She always carefully considered every aspect of the project as she worked to bring the Owners vision to reality. She is a true team player and has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

    Laurie Pacheco is the Interior Designer/Owner’s Representative for one of our beautiful projects in Bozeman. Since the beginning phase of moving the existing home off the property to the current framing stage, Laurie has been an active participant in Teton Heritage Builder’s team. We hold weekly OAC meetings and Laurie is always there, recording precisely the progression of the project, clear communication to the client, and actively taking charge in selections by coordinating owner/rep consultations and reporting back to the team. Not only is she budget conscious (which is highly appreciated) she’s also willing to keep digging to find exactly what the client envisions. We love working with Laurie. Both for her extensive knowledge in the industry, and her bright, happy and sweet personality.
