Lorrie Williams
Fluff President and Designer
What excites you most about the work you do and the contribution you make?
I don’t think you can overemphasize the importance of “home.” It could be THE most significant place in our lives. I truly love having a job that helps improve the quality of our clients’ home life. In addition, I love getting to lead a team of people who are incredibly talented, creative and fun to work with.
A little about me
I am originally from San Antonio, but my husband Andy and I have loved living in Omaha and raising our boys here since 2003. Connecting with people through conversation, food and laughter around our kitchen table is my favorite thing ever. I am a BIG-TIME movie fan, love to travel, and to quote Thomas Jefferson: “I could not live without books.”

Melissa Glenn
Senior Interior DesignerWhat excites you most about the work you do and the contribution you make?
I love helping our clients achieve the home they have always dreamed of. The majority of our clients are families, and I love creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional for real, everyday life. Now that I am a mom, I understand the reality of everyday life and that it doesn’t always look like a magazine photoshoot. But, I still believe that your home can be a beautiful, welcoming place that you are happy to wake up in and love coming home to.
A little about me
What surprises people most about me is that I grew up on a farm – I’m probably the least “farm girl” that you will ever meet! I have wanted to be a designer since I was very young and have never thought twice about doing anything else. I graduated from UNL’s Interior Design program and have worked in residential design my whole career. My husband and I have called Omaha home for eight years and love this city and raising our daughter here.

Sara Aksyonov
Design CoordinatorWhat excites you most about the work you do and the contribution you make?
I love seeing happy clients— especially when their vision for their space becomes a reality! As the design coordinator, I am one of the first people our clients speak to. I get to be there as they journey through the design process, from consultations to installs, making it as easy and as exciting as possible! I’m lucky to work alongside these amazing, talented group of women and some pretty awesome clients too.
A little about me
I am a wife and mother of 2 amazing daughters. I enjoy gardening, a hobby I picked up while living in England. I also love to travel anywhere from the mountains to the oceans, to overseas. I’m not picky and love how inspired I am by the places I visit!

Kelly Hendricksen
Install CoordinatorWhat excites you most about the work you do and the contribution you make?
My favorite part of my job is getting to go to every install and see the designer’s design come to life and create a space that “WOW’S” the client. It truly is a HGTV moment when the client comes home after the designer has worked their magic and transformed their space into a gorgeous home that is still livable.
A little about me
A little about me….I am a wife and mom to 4 kids. When I am not working, you can find me either at my kids’ sporting events, on the golf course or searching for the next, best beach vacation.

There’s so much satisfaction in working alongside our Fluff customers to choose the right finishing touches for their home. Whether we’re helping them decorate their mantle, put together a tray for their coffee table, or find the perfect pillows for their sofa, I love sending them out the door with Fluff Market merchandise they are truly excited about.
A little about me
My go-to stress relievers are walking my dog, bike-riding and playing the piano. I love traveling to new places with my husband and kids, whether it’s an epic road trip, an international adventure, or a weekend getaway. As a music junkie, you’ll always find me blasting a random playlist of songs including anything from disco to Top 40 to classic rock.

Treva Thompson
Fluff Market TeamWhat excites you most about the work you do and the contribution you make?
My favorite part about working at Fluff is the people! The people I work with and our customers are the best! There is not another company in town that has such a wide range of services AND a market with such beautiful items that not only can you individually shop for, but get personalized help styling different parts of your house. I LOVE helping people who are frustrated and overwhelmed by a particular area in their house leave our store loving their home again.
A little about me
I love people!! Everyone has a story and getting to know that story is one of my passions in life. I grew up in Omaha but after 27 years away, I recently moved back and married my high school/college sweetheart and we blended our family of seven. The best part of life for me is hanging out around a table eating, drinking, talking, and laughing with those I LOVE!
