Our Team

Shelley Carr

Although I’m a bit of a free spirit, I am grounded by my love for family, friends, and nature. The relationships that we build with clients are the foundation for the work that we do for them. Getting to know our clients allows us to help them find beauty, function, and fun in their personal space. We find inspiration in these friendships rooting our creativity in the peace and freedom that they invoke which result in spaces that feel natural and lived-in, yet highly sophisticated. I bring my interests for travel and adventure to work always taking advantage of opportunities to experience life to its fullest.

Gary Mandel

I begin many of my client meetings by explaining that we are artists. We have a creative understanding of the design process. By combining this artistic sense with the wisdom that comes from past experience and our intuitive listening skills, we are able to uncover a part of our clients that they often didn’t know was there. To us, this process is critical because it leads to sound design that connects our clients with a deeper level of themselves. We customize each design process with mutual trust and integrity. In the end, we amaze our clients with spaces that are a perfect reflection of the way they live their lives.

Lori Roos

I first knew of Baker Court Interiors while living in Europe. We were moving back and building a home. Gary and Shelley worked with us to create a beautiful home and we had a wonderful experience during the process. In November of 1999 I joined the team as studio manager and feel very fortunate to be a part of the work we do at Baker Court Interiors.

Nora Lucas

Since graduating from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Interior Design, I have worked in the industry in a variety of roles, expanding my knowledge in design. While I have always had an interest in design, my passion grew while studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. I love how the Danish incorporate design into all facets of everyday life and I think that awareness of aesthetic and functionality fits in perfectly with Gary and Shelley’s philosophy of “Design for Real Life”. I enjoy working with Shelley and Gary because I find their creativity and enthusiasm inspiring.
