On episode 58 of Bend Magazine’s The Circling Podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Sarah Westhusing, the Founder and Owner of House of Milo, a distinguished interior design studio based here in Bend, Oregon.

Stay tuned as Sarah delves into how her exposure to her father's skilled woodworking and carpentry business at an early age influenced her unique design philosophy. From materials and colors to textures and scents, Sarah was immersed in the many facets of the design process, fostering an appreciation for how well-designed spaces can create meaningful connections between people.

Before founding House of Milo, Sarah worked as a global product line manager at Nike, specializing in product creation, branding, and merchandising. In 2016, she and her family relocated to Bend to be closer to family and find a better work-life balance. After a three-year stint at Hydro Flask, Sarah launched House of Milo Interior Design Studio in 2019, named in honor of her daughter.

Drawing from her experience at top brands like Nike, Sarah combines her keen observational skills with a critical eye for creating functional and beautiful spaces. Her goal is to design homes where vacations are rarely necessary, as the spaces themselves are a true reflection of the people living in them.Thank you for joining us on the podcast, Sarah. I'm a big fan of you, your work, and your family. Until next time, my friend.
