What You Will Learn
When my husband and I decided that we wanted to build a new home we immediately wanted to make sure that it would be a home where we could live for the rest of our lives. It was important to us that it be accessible and safe, yet beautiful and connected (meaning it needed to have smart home attributes).
With 37 years of design and construction experience the challenge was not designing the home, the challenge was finding the products that would allow for some of the concepts that we built into the home.
During this session you will:
- Demonstrate the development of the layout of the home and indicate why it was so important.
- Examine the path to locating the products necessary to create the necessary attributes of the home.
- Discuss the concepts of smart home technology that are important to an accessible home.
- Discover the features in the home that make it accessible, healthy, and safe for everyone birth to death.

LaDonna Eriksen, CLIPP – Owner – Interiors By Design
LaDonna Eriksen has been an educator all of her life. She taught in the Omaha area for 41 years with the final 24 years teaching Anatomy/Physiology and Genetics to Health Care pre-professionals. Her knowledge of the function of the human body is what she attributes to much of her understanding of how correct design is invaluable to making a home comfortable.
Her involvement with design and construction began in 1985. She has worked with a multitude of clients creating comfortable environments in their homes. She is especially proud of her work in developing beautiful kitchens and bathrooms.
LaDonna used many of her outside of the box concepts in their new home that she and her husband designed and built. Those creations surprised craftsmen working on the house as well as the visitors since they moved in July 2020. The design, development and construction of their forever home is her greatest achievement in her field to this point and she hopes that their home will lead a movement in the residential construction industry to build all homes that are accessible, safe, healthy, and comfortable for everyone.
