For Linda Engler, interior design is more than a profession — it’s a lifelong passion brought to life through her award-winning design firm. Engler Studio’s expansive Eden Prairie office serves as a wellspring of creative energy and inspiration, where Engler and her team collaborate to craft one-of-a-kind homes. While known for her fresh, modern aesthetic, boundless joie de vivre and meticulous design process, Engler’s true brilliance lies in curating a team of creative professionals who share her passion for architecture, travel and creating timeless spaces. And their creative chemistry is what sets this singular studio apart.
The magic of the Engler Studio team lies in the wealth of diverse experiences brought by each member, lending unique perspectives to each project. Studio Director Jenn Taft brings design leadership and construction expertise to every project, including a recent dreamy whole-house renovation overlooking Cedar Lake. Senior Interior Designer Kelly Perry’s background includes working for Christie’s auction house and jeweler Elsa Peretti in New York City, while Senior Interior Designer Rena Feldman offers a global perspective informed by her Russian heritage and extensive travels, and Procurement Director Alison Caputo draws on two decades at F. Schumacher & Co. Together, this dynamic team collaborates with clients, architects and builders to design exquisite homes across Minnesota and beyond.
The Engler Studio office has become a sanctuary where ideas flourish, collaborations thrive and exceptional designs take shape. The thoughtfully curated environment reflects the team’s passion for exploring new ideas and elevating each project with bespoke touches. It’s here that Engler, alongside her diverse team of designers, transforms concepts into reality, whether designing a chic Zen-inspired abode, infusing mid-century flair into a Rancho Mirage retreat or guiding a lake home renovation. The studio’s library — a treasure trove of artisan textiles, handcrafted tiles and unusual finishes — is a testament to the team’s shared appreciation for art, culture and storytelling. With frequent sojourns to Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan and High Point, North Carolina, their combined passion for travel adds a worldly dimension to their designs, making each space as unique as the people who inhabit it.
In work and life, Linda Engler embodies joie de vivre. Her vibrant energy infuses every project with a sense of joy and elegance, which is a key part of what makes Engler Studio a go-to partner for clients seeking to transform their spaces. With a track record of celebrated projects and countless accolades, Engler and her team continue to set the standard for one-of-a-kind interiors. To them, timeless design is more than a philosophy — it’s a way of life, brought to fruition by talented women whose passion and expertise come together to create a singular studio.
