CODY KUPITZ
FOUNDER, OWNER
In 2008 I began building custom homes in the western MN suburbs. In addition to my home building passion, I found I enjoyed the artistic qualities of woodworking and the creativity I could bring to my clients’ homes. I created SpaceTurtle Construction, to combine all my experience in renovations, additions, and new homes. I am excited to help you uncover the potential of your living-space.

MARIE BRENDEN
CO-OWNER, DESIGNER
Whether transforming a single room or an entire residence, my goal is to craft interiors that feel effortlessly beautiful and are built to last. As a seasoned designer I love creating homes that are both functional and timeless,, I specialize in designing spaces that seamlessly fit the way people live while enhancing the long-term value of their homes. I have a deep passion for working closely with clients, and take the time to understand their needs, ensuring every design is a perfect blend of practicality and elegance.
Proud Mom to Juniper and Panda
MEAGAN GAROFALO
Business Manager
I oversee the marketing and business operations at SpaceTurtle, working closely with clients, vendors, and suppliers to ensure every renovation project runs seamlessly. With a detail-oriented and organized approach, I am dedicated to meeting our clients’ needs and providing the personalized attention they deserve. My goal is to bring your vision to life by ensuring a smooth and successful renovation experience.

LILAH BRENDEN
Creative Director
I provide all of the before and after photos for our projects. I spend time with our designers up front to make sure I have all the right angles to capture the transformation. While I like to be behind the lens I also bring my expertise in front of the camera when I stage your newly remodeled space. I love that we can share these images with our homeowners. It’s exciting to be part of each project because I can see the whole process from how things “used to be” to the big reveal!

BREY OSTOFF
Field Operations Manager
I have always enjoyed working with my hands and letting my imagination create one of a kind masterpieces. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Building Construction from Lake Superior College. From there, my career led me into both residential and commercial carpentry work consisting of single family homes, four hundred unit apartments, and even seventeen story high rise condos. Bringing my knowledge and experience acquired over the last 15 years, I would love to help make your building dreams a reality.

Mai See thao
Interior Designer
Growing up in a multi-generational home taught me the importance of thoughtful space planning and designing for aging in place. My designs are timeless yet functional, crafted through a collaborative approach that reflects each client’s unique taste and lifestyle. Design is all about transforming a space into a home. I view my clients and myself as a team, working together to turn visions into reality. My role as your Interior Designer isn’t to tell you what you should pick for your space, it’s to guide you in making decisions that you’ll love and cherish for many years to come.
