About Our Team
Eklund Haus is a boutique interior design firm based in Austin, Texas, where our close-knit team crafts unique, curated homes that authentically reflect your aesthetic and lifestyle. We are passionate about purposeful design and streamlined processes, creating spaces that not only enhance your life, but also honor our planet.
We prioritize sustainability by sourcing from eco-conscious vendors and love collaborating with local female and minority artisans whenever possible, weaving their stories and values into the fabric of every design.
Kim Eklund • Founder + Head Designer
Kim is a self-taught interior designer who grew up in Southern California before finding her home in Austin in 2020. Passionate about the connection between interior design and mental health, she believes that thoughtfully designed spaces can enhance well-being and create a sense of calm.
Drawing inspiration from her desert upbringing and the iconic architecture of historic Los Angeles, Kim’s favorite design styles are Warm Minimalism and Midcentury Modern.
When she’s not designing, you can find her enjoying life with her beloved corgi, Willow, or competing as a bodybuilder.
Gigi Grife • Social Media Manager
Gigi brings her Philly-born competitive spirit and two decades of marketing expertise to the team. As our social media guru, she has a knack for cutting through the noise to showcase what makes our designs special.
While she appreciates all design styles, she would call her aesthetic “Barbie Core”- embracing vibrant pinks and mood-boosting colors in her own space.
In her free time, you’ll find Gigi competing in powerlifting competitions, cheering on her hometown sports teams, or hunting for statement pieces that add a pop of joy to any room.
Go birds!
