cierah basa

interior designer

It was only a matter of time before Cierah made her way back to Chicago. Although she was born near the Windy City and has family in the area, she spent her childhood in Indiana and Knoxville, Tennessee, where she would go on to earn her degree in Interior Architecture. She began her career in Nashville before moving to Chicago. As someone who enjoys the outdoors and cultural institutions, Chicago’s lakefront and world-class museums were difficult to resist.

With experience in corporate and commercial interiors, Cierah understands how spaces come together not just in concept but for its end users. At OKW she will take that experience and apply it to our interior design team’s diverse and complex projects. When she’s not at work, you can find her playing volleyball (beach, gym, grass, she does it all) and finding a studio to get back into painting.
