Winner: Monica Hart Interior Design
Location: West Fargo, Fargo
What made you decide to go out on your own and form Monica Hart Interior Design?
“I started MHID Aug. 15, 2008,” Owner/President Monica Hart said. “We are 16 years old! While I love being an interior designer, I love being a mom more. I started my business so I could make sure I would be able to be at my kiddos’ activities, etc.”
What helps your design firm stand out from the crowd?
“I make sure my projects are a reflection of my client — not me,” Hart said. “They pay for it, they live in it. I want to ensure their space is a comfort and haven for the people who live there. I also like to think I’m kind of fun!”

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
