Samantha Lund: Designing with Purpose, Living with Clarity

In this episode of Nailed It!, we sit down with Samantha Lund — founder of Lund Haus Studio, a high-end interior design and professional organizing company based in Salt Lake City. Sam’s path to entrepreneurship is anything but ordinary. From growing up in a uniquely structured family dynamic in Chicago to experiencing the shocking kidnapping of her grandfather, she opens up about how her upbringing shaped her resilience, creativity, and drive.

Originally a modern dancer and psychology student, Sam eventually found her calling in design — a blend of creativity and service that aligned with her deeper purpose. She shares how her background in dance and family studies influences everything from project choreography to managing client relationships. We also dive into the story behind her recent rebrand from Simply Sam to Lund Haus Studio — a move that marks both personal growth and professional elevation.

From light design beginnings to six-figure basements, Sam unpacks what it’s really like running a growing creative business with her husband, navigating employees, scaling back to grow smart, and the power of personal healing on professional clarity.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes into high-end design behind the scenes — and the life journey that fuels it — this episode nails it.
