2014 ROOTS
At a 1950's kitchen table in a 900 square foot apartment in downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Chad White realized that he was sacrificing creative energy, personal growth, and authentic relationships for profit-focused productivity. Armed with vision, integrity and a hint of rebellion, he and his wife, Keri, decided to reorganize their life and redefine "work" in a way that prioritized artistry and fostered relationships. Chad left his safe but demanding desk job and launched The Eau Claire Design Company. Keri created the branding & marketing between homeschooling and writing songs.

PASSION
The Eau Claire Design Company found its first brick & mortar office among artists & craftsman at Artisan Forge Studios. Over the next few years, Chad & Keri enjoyed rich friendships and collaborative opportunities. Their portfolio grew to include challenging lake home remodels, boutique commercial designs, and custom home plans.

PERSEVERE
Despite a pandemic, The Eau Claire Design Company was growing and made the move to a larger space in beautiful downtown Eau Claire. At the same time, Chad & Keri broke ground to build their own custom, high-performance home. Mountains & valleys were navigated over the next few years, but the complexities proved to be clarifying & edifying.
