Steph Reed has embraced:
Her Steph Reed has embraced:
Her purpose
Her journey
Her DESTINY!
She’s not just the co-owner of Partners By Design; she was voted Builder of the Year by the Des Moines Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines for 2018.
Furthermore, she is the chairperson for Professional Women in Des Moines and is on the National Board of Trustees for Professional Women in Building
She is definitely where she needs to be and everything is unfolding exactly the way it needs to. Her passion and consistency for others has assigned her success. An ardent advocate for women and all youth in the skilled trades.
She believes in working hard and making it happen!
With excitement, let me introduce to you Steph Reed.
Steph Reed spent her teen-age summers in Texas, working with her father hanging and prepping drywall, wallpaper and painting. It may not have been the type of job most young girls did, but it taught her two things that have guided her since.
That a love of the building industry doesn’t require a particular gender – and that anyone can earn the respect that only comes after a hard day of working with your hands.
Today, Steph is the co-owner of Partners By Design – a company she started with her husband after years of learning the home building trade by providing direct support to builders, vendors and contractors while working directly with clients. Steph was voted Builder of the Year by the Des Moines Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines for 2018. She hopes the honor will help her in her goal of serving as a role model for women in the industry. She is the chairperson for Professional Women in Des Moines and is on the National Board of Trustees for Professional Women in Building. Her goal is to promote and educate young women to get involved in the skilled trades industry.
