From the very first conversation, it’s easy to see why Mary
is such a vital part of the VIVE team. As Lead Designer, she
brings a rare blend of professionalism, warmth, and creativity,
helping clients feel confident, supported, and excited as they
begin their home journey with VIVE.
Mary’s thoughtful design approach and keen attention to
detail shine through in every project. Whether she’s discussing
floor plans, refining design details, or working through
timelines, she takes the time to listen and ensures every
question is answered efficiently and thoroughly.
With a strong background in real estate and development,
Mary brings valuable insight to each project. She began
her career at the age of 19, in property management and
went on to earn her Wisconsin Real Estate Broker’s License
and then her MBA from The College of Saint Scholastica.
In addition to being a Partner at VIVE, Mary also serves
as a designer for another local builder and has helped open
hundreds of doors across the Chippewa Valley. Her strong
relationships, community knowledge, and design-driven mindset
have all played a key role in launching VIVE Design & Renovation.
Mary’s commitment extends beyond her work. She is deeply
involved in the community, serving on the Board and Government
Affairs Committee of the Chippewa Valley Home Builders Association,
the Board of the Eau Claire Tenant Landlord Resource Center,
and volunteering with Junior Achievement through CVHBA. She has
also served on the City of Eau Claire Redevelopment
Authority and Planning Commission.
Outside of work, Mary is a devoted wife to her high school
sweetheart, Bill, and mom who can often be found cheering
from the stands at her daughters’ sporting events. Family
is at the heart of everything she does and it’s the
driving force behind her passion, work ethic, and success.
