Cherie Poissant joined Murphy Bros as a Remodeling Consultant in 2003. Her work won a COTY (Contractor of the Year) award from NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) in 2013 and has also been featured in Furnishings Magazine. She works on projects of all sizes, working hard to meet the goals of her clients for design, selections and budget. Her passion for designing started at the age of 12, she designed her first project that was built. She has now designed and put together hundreds of projects and her high volume of repeat/referral work is a great indicator of her success as well as her client’s satisfaction.

In 2008, Cherie received her CAPS (Certified Aging in Place) certification. She has also been on the leadership committee for the “50+ Housing Council” for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) and is active in promoting Universal Design (UD). She has done several educational presentations, been a panel speaker for BATC members and has also presented at various Home Shows. Coming from her position as a lead designer for an interior design firm, Design Perceptions, Inc., in International Market Square, Cherie understands the balance of good traffic flow, the importance of color as well as designing for the function and flexible use of a space. Her complimentary business background in Vendor Management (Room & Board Home Furnishings) and Business Management (Rocco Altobelli) make her an asset to the Murphy Bros. team. Cherie studied Interior Design at the University of Minnesota and also holds a B.A. Degree from Metropolitan State University.
