Our Story

We started Story Co. with one simple belief: every home has a story to tell

Our goal is to help Central Oregon homeowners write their next chapter through complete design-build services that transform how they live.

Steve brings years of hands-on construction experience and leads each project from start to finish with precision and care. Before Story Co., he spent over a decade in marketing technology leadership, bringing systems thinking and problem-solving to the build process.

Erica brings professional interior design expertise and artistic vision to each project. As a painter and artist, she creates custom commissioned artwork that adds personal, unique touches to the spaces we build together.

We’re a husband-and-wife team based in Bend, offering a comprehensive approach where design and construction work as one seamless process. Whether it’s a complete kitchen transformation, a luxurious bathroom retreat, a structural addition, or custom outdoor furniture, we guide you through each step with clear communication and thoughtful attention to detail.

Design + build, together

We’re not just contractors who build. We’re not just designers who hand off plans. We’re both, working as one integrated team. This means better communication, faster timelines, and cohesive results where details work together.

Steve handles construction management and field execution. Erica manages design direction and client coordination. Together, we eliminate the typical disconnect—saving you time, reducing miscommunication, and delivering spaces that feel intentional from concept to completion.

Steve holds Oregon CCB license #256978 and is an active member of the Central Oregon Builders Association (COBA). We’re fully bonded and insured, serving Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Sunriver with design-build services that turn houses into homes with stories worth telling.
