BIO

Casee Burgason-Cruise received a degree in Interior Architecture & Design and a minor in Construction Management from CIDA accredited Colorado State University in 2004.  A semester in Europe inspired her love for Classical Art and Architecture. Casee interned with the bay area firm Jessica Hall Associates in Larkspur, CA as well as St. Onge Interior Design in Mill Valley, CA. 

Casee joined celebrated Miami interior designer Sam Robin. Notable projects include 900 Biscayne Blvd - a luxury condo high-rise located in downtown Miami, The Astor Hotel in South Beach, public spaces for 1000 Venetian Way building, and high profile residences. 

The desire to be closer to family and the landscape to where she grew up brought Casee back to Iowa. Casee Burgason Interior Design now based in Ames, IA specializes in all areas of design ranging from residential, commercial, hospitality, automobile/yacht interiors, custom furnishings, textiles and town planning/development. With over 18 years of experience Casee's designs are reflective of her clients' personal style and identity. Her ability to forecast future trends and combine textures, colors and natural elements that blend into modern traditional vernaculars result in spaces that are warm, functional and inspiring. Much of her work is enhanced by her past experience in the art, textile and antique markets. Her hope is to impact the midwest through timeless meaningful design that is reflective of the history and landscape of the midwest.
