Horace, ND native Chelsey Johnson has been with Prairie Design Studio for 18 years, joining her dad Kim Stokes in the family business in 2004. Five years ago, her sister Leah Petersen also joined the family business. In addition to being the Project Manager at Prairie Design Studio, Chelsey serves on the city council in Horace. "It's a good time to have a voice in our growing community," she said.

Chelsey has the privilege of working on all aspects of many types of projects. She has done quite a few apartment complexes, office/retail buildings and residential homes. Prairie Design Studio also has done many nursing homes around the state of Minnesota for St. Francis Health Services. "I think people are very surprised as to the caliber of projects we produce out of our small firm," said Chelsey. "Our clients come back to us time and again for a few reasons: we get comments on how attentive we are and how we prioritize their needs and wants."
