The room features large windows with dark trim, allowing natural light to fill the space. The walls are partly wood-paneled, and the ceiling is vaulted with exposed wood beams.

DESIGNING A HOME IS AN EXPERIENCE.

WHAT ITS LIKE TO WORK WITH SHERI



  • “We tasked Sheri with an enormous and deeply personal responsibility: to design our dream retirement home on a piece of land that has been our family treasure for 34 years. Bringing Sherry onto the project was the best decision we could have made. She was the perfect collaborator—she embraced our ideas, respected our deep connection to the land, and used her incredible expertise to refine and elevate them. She listened, understood the assignment, and transformed my ‘pretty good’ sketch into a functional, beautiful, and truly professional design. She didn’t just design a house; she helped us design the next chapter of our family’s story, and the final home has exceeded our wildest expectations.”

    John and Ann Gallo

  • “We had the opportunity to design and bring our dream log cabin to completion with Sheri. During the entire process Sheri was careful to listen and encouraged us to not just settle. The result is our home that we would not change anything. We are thrilled with the outcome.”

    Bruce and Barb Gabrielse

  • “Sheri has been great!  She assisted me on 2 remodel projects.  She is very responsive, answered all my questions and had great ideas!  I would recommend her to anyone needing someone to design their space – she listens well and provides honest feedback!”

    Linda Long

  • “Sheri was GREAT to work with. She is talented, fastidious and listened carefully to our requests, ideas and specific input! She designed our beautiful lake home with valued and experienced input from load bearing walls to square footage floor plans for each room. She is knowledgeable about types of wood species to use, both inside and out and made qualified recommendations! We highly recommend working with Sheri!”

    Pam and Jack Cooper

  • “Sheri’s knowledge and creativity to meet customer needs are an excellent resource for me and my homeowners. She is committed to every project from the initial ideas all the way through to the finished home or remodel. Her experience and flexibility are an asset to any project.”

    Matt Wirtz

  • “Sheri and her team at Designs by Nature did an exceptional job with our very complicated renovation project. Sheri guided us through the decision whether to renovate or rebuild, enabling us to preserve a unique grandfathering situation.  Most importantly, she carefully listened to our ideas and created a cost-effective solution to make those ideas even better than we could have imagined.  We highly recommend Designs by Nature without any reservation.” 

    Mary and Ed Wynn

  • I wanted to thank you for your creativity, patience, support and guidance as we find our way through this process. It has been an absolute joy and comfort working with you!

    Tarianne Babicz

  • “Sherri met with us, visited our property, and listened to our desires and concerns, and we were very impressed with her translating our ideas into a functional design that fit well with the native landscape. We contacted several builders when we came to Wisconsin from Tennessee wanting to build a lakeside cottage, and were told repeatedly that we should seek out Sheri Jensen of Designs by Nature. When we finally selected a builder, we were pleased by his positive reaction that the plans would be coming from Sheri Jensen, as he felt her plans were consistently straightforward, easily understood, and gave him the information he needed to build a solid home. She was available for questions throughout the process and managed to share our excitement for our project. We would be delighted to utilize her services again and would encourage anyone who needs architectural expertise to seek her out.”

  • We used her two times to design two different additions to our cottage in Manitowish Waters. We liked her a lot, very personable, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. We would highly recommend using her!
