Residential-April
1st Place: Chloe Cronk
As a designer at Pacific Home Source since 2016, I create thoughtful residential designs using Chief Architect, building detailed plans that guide projects from concept through construction and help bring each client’s vision to life. I enjoy the balance between creativity and problem-solving that this work offers. Whether navigating site constraints or refining layouts, my focus is always on practical, well-considered solutions that support how homeowners live, while maintaining a strong visual presence.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog, as well as working on hands-on creative projects and exploring different mediums. Building things myself keeps me inspired and carries over into everything I design.
2nd Place: Cailyn Poschner
Cailyn Poschner is the creative powerhouse of Habitat Design Co. She seamlessly combines her environmental passion with a profound love for design, resulting in a distinctive skill set that she applies to all her projects.

Kitchen,Bath, and Interiors-March
1st Place: Leslie Ann Gali
“I am a Design Draftsman at Quest Cabinetry & Design in Bozeman, MT. I am known for my thoughtful, balanced leadership and my commitment to continuous improvement. I approach my work with a mindset of refinement, consistently raising standards through attention to detail and incremental progress. Passionate about transforming creative ideas into functional, meaningful spaces, I believe interior design is ultimately about enhancing how people live—an ethos reflected in the words of Albert Hadley, who emphasized designing for real life over passing trends.
Outside of work, I love exploring the outdoors with my dogs, Dolly and Trixie, as well as with family and friends—whether kayaking, hiking, camping, or off-roading. I also enjoy baking and cooking up new treats, catching live concerts, and sharing meaningful time with loved ones. Every adventure and experience keeps life exciting and full.
Grounded in faith and driven by curiosity, I embrace life fully—seeking growth, adventure, and meaningful experiences at every turn. As it is written, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).”
