Mallory Gruhala - Interior Designer
Mallory is a graduate from Maryville University and holds a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. The design world is constantly changing and staying informed on new products and practices is important to shaping dynamic spaces for clients. Communication between the client and designer is critical to the initial design phase and the foundation for the entire project.
Communication is the basis of an effective solution. A design problem is not solved unless the solution captivates people. Aesthetics are only half the battle. Functionality within the space is critical and the true measure of a successful design. Interior design is a functioning art form. People live and work in these spaces and it’s a much better world if its done with you in mind.

-Claire
“We purchased a home that needed updating as we prefer a more contemporary look. We called on Candice Wideman from Youtopia Designs to help us put together the home we wanted. From the word go she was on top of things, searching and finding furniture, wall art and home decor that we would not have even thought of putting together and that looked fantastic. Her sketches and designs were true to what she implemented, so we knew exactly what we were going to get. At a point there was an item we loved that was “unavailable” but she didn’t give up and searched all over until she found it for us. We found Candice Wideman from Youtopia Designs extremely trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable helpful and efficient in all that she did for us, we cannot rate her highly enough. We walk into our home now and it feels calm and comfortable, we just love walking into each room."
