Michele was born in Arizona into a family of 6 children being second to the youngest. She remembers watching her father’s passion in drafting landscape & house plans at an early age. This was the driving force for her enthusiasm in perfecting the home and organizing space. In 1998 she graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelors in Interior Design and an emphasis in Photography that eventually led her to marry her photography teacher Chris Dunker. Soon after her marriage, she started Michele Dunker Interiors. Her firm has continued to grow since 1999 with examples of her work all over Utah. If you can’t find Michele designing, she is off on a bike ride, golfing or snow skiing with her family and friends.

Justin is a Utah Jazz fan and an architectural designer, in that order. Justin grew up in the great state of Utah, and liked it so much he never left. He graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, and practiced for nearly 10 years at respected local design firms. His focus has been primarily high-end residential design, where he has been involved in all aspects of design, from concept to construction. Justin has many professional accomplishments, but in his mind, nothing quite compares to his 4th place finish in the beginner’s bracket of the 2003 Utah foosball championship. In his free time, Justin loves chasing around his two kids, teaching piano, and playing way too much golf.

Jody-Ann Wiener, Senior Designer on the team, started her love of design in the fashion industry in Manhattan, New York. She received her degree in Fashion Design and then she dove right in for 10 years. She eventually moved away from the hub of fashion design world. A proud member of a military family, Jody-Ann took each move to a new place to be a new opportunity and challenge. She decided to pursue her other passion, Interior Design and received her Bachelors of Science from the Art Institute of Pittsburg. These two disciplines have helped her to honed her skills in attention to details and planning that have been an asset to her professional life as well as driving her husband crazy. She loves traveling and finds she has gained the super power of fast adaptation (military life training) and looking for beauty where ever she can find it. Jody likes to keep this quote in mind “Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” -Abraham Lincoln.
