WELL, HELLO!

I'm Alissa Ochs, Founder, CEO, and mama of three. Gemhaus is a luxury real estate development and interior design firm, and it’s what my career dreams are made of. A Minnesota native, Columbia University graduate, collegiate athlete, and former Global HR Leader, I am detail oriented, creative, and driven. By far the cutest and most supportive parts of my day come from my husband Pete (ageless) and three kids Fitz (8), Hattie (7), and Clementine (4).

Long before I got the chance to meet my forever crew, I fell in love with design. As I was growing up, a regular activity for our family was to go to the Parade of Homes. My brothers and I would race to find the best bedrooms within these new homes, and argue over who would live in each - just in case we happened to win the lottery that night and would need to move in promptly. I loved the light spilling in through the fresh windows, the pristine floors and walls, and the smell of the newly built homes. I loved the cutting edge architectural details and finding every nook and cranny that could be used as a future hide-and-seek or playroom spot. I loved the beautiful objects, art, cohesive color stories, and luxe linens in every room of these homes. I loved it all.

Gemhaus got it’s kindling through a childhood lens of joy and loving design. By combining this lifelong passion, the study and application of development and design, and many years spent within corporate client-focused business roles, Gemhaus is uniquely set up for success.

I’m looking forward to meeting you! Give us a follow on social, reach out, and let’s connect.
