Life is short, so live passionately, Loretta Haugen believes. The interior designer in Rochester does that by striving to not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. Loretta served on the design team for the South Dakota School for the Blind & Visually Impaired. “For the first time in my life I was asked to design with my eyes wide shut—trying to design a facility where aesthetics took second seat to texture, contrast, and sound,” she recalls. Loretta volunteers with Channel One Food Bank. She appreciates the song “That’s What Friends Are For” because it stresses the importance and need for good companions in our lives.
