Interiors Joan and Associates is Lincoln’s premier interior design firm, offering personalized attention for projects of all sizes. Originally founded in 1963 as Interiors by Joan by Joan Sorenson in Fremont, the firm expanded with a second location in Omaha in 1985 and later grew to Lincoln in 2003.
This award-winning, family-owned firm is led by Kris Patton, a third-generation interior designer. She follows in the footsteps of her mother and former owner, Diane Gernstein, former partner Nancy Pesavento, and her grandmother and founder, Joan Sorenson.
“As designers, we draw inspiration from everything around us,” Patton explains. “Our knowledge of diverse styles keeps our approach fresh and distinctive. We listen to our clients, understand their vision, and guide them toward something truly unique. There’s a lot of psychology involved in design.”
Patton emphasizes the firm’s client-focused philosophy: “We introduce clients to ideas they may not have considered, taking them beyond their comfort zones to discover personalized, one-of-a-kind designs. The relationships we build allow us to create spaces that truly reflect each individual. Our designers aren’t just following trends or imposing their own style—they’re helping clients uncover what speaks to them.”
