ART + DESIGN
From collaborating with The Signature Lodge by Cheyenne Ridge Outfitters in Pierre and two Delta Waterfowl chapters in Pierre and Sioux Falls, to supporting the annual Cattlemen’s Association Conference and being part of Women’s Ag Day , Kiel says Okobojo Creek Design’s pieces have found a home across the state and beyond. “And we have been extremely grateful for our collaborative work with Jewel of the West in Hill City,” said Kiel. “This has been an incredible blessing—our hearts are full knowing our work resonates so deeply with so many.” Okobojo Creek Designs also does custom work for clients with specific wants and needs. She says Okobojo Creek Designs doesn’t rely on the trends because they come and go so quickly. Kiel aims to create statement pieces that are timeless, hoping they will be passed down through generations. “What we are doing is more than just a side hustle; it’s a way of honoring our love and passion for South Dakota’s outdoors and sharing a little piece of our hearts with others through meaningful, handcrafted designs,” said Kiel.
