Maria Uhlenhopp, Executive Assistant

Maria Uhlenhopp (Yew-Len-Hopp) is an Iowa native and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from Iowa State University. Although she calls the Midwest home, her design career and upbringing in an Air Force family has allowed her to travel and live across the country. After graduating from Iowa State, she started her residential interior design career at a full-service interior design firm in Nashville, TN and then went on to work for a custom home builder in Charleston, SC.

As the Executive Assistant to Kali Buchanan, she brings a well-rounded experience set to the operations at KBID. Outside of work, she is passionate about all things “old” – from vintage shopping to historic homes, preservation and restoration, and architectural time periods. She and her husband also enjoy exploring local restaurants and spending time in Iowa with family.
