My story begins in the late '90s when I arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Bosnia, finding a new home in the Cedar Valley, a place I grew up in and still call home. It’s here that I’ve built a life with my husband, Esnad, and our three children: Inaaya, Daniel, and Zayn.
My experience tells a story of passion, dedication, and an evolving journey in the world of design and construction. It all began with a personal project - building a home with my husband. This initial step into the realm of construction and design ignited a deep-seated passion, leading to a series of projects that further fueled my love for design. This consistent enthusiasm in design and construction led to the birth of Dream Homes Construction & Design, a venture that seamlessly blended my love for robust construction with my innate flair for interior design.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by how interior design and architecture can completely change a space. That fascination led me to study Interior Design at DCTC and the University of Northern Iowa. I love the challenge of space planning, treating each layout like a complex puzzle to solve, aiming to make homes not just stylish but also practical and inviting. Working closely with clients is the best part—I enjoy helping them transform their houses into cozy retreats that truly reflect their personality and lifestyle.
