It takes a special skill set to be the office manager of a company; highly organized, nerves of steel and a good sense of humor. That’s why we knew we had a winner when we hired Jennifer Rundell. A native of the Chicago suburbs, she moved around the country garnering extensive administrative experience only to come back again. Easy to spot with her purple hair, Jennifer adds a flourish of charisma to IDG as she juggles the day-to-day business. Away from the office, she spends quality time with her daughter Audrey and channels her creativity into painting, photography, and cooking.

At first glance, interior design and hockey don’t seem to have much in common but after you get to know Laurie, you’ll find that her passions for both are what make her so unique. With over 25 years of experience in interior design and a degree from the school of the Art Institute in Chicago, Laurie has been a great asset to IDG. Laurie’s approachable manner is only matched by her expertise of colors and finishes in which she takes great pride. The fact that she plays hockey in her spare time gives her a rare perspective on each: both move at high speed, both require a deft touch under pressure and depend on creativity to be successful. One thing is certain, whether it’s in business or hockey, you’ll be thrilled to have her on your team.
