We're a wife (design) + husband (execution) team based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. We offer new build, renovation, and interior design services. Our goal is to deliver an amazing experience + home to you!
Nate Vandenbroek (head of execution)
Nate’s moderately humorous and self applied title covers his multiple roles at Hygge as the lead home designer, head contractor, and project manager. Ultimately Nate lives off caffeine but thrives on bringing your dream project to life through his design creativity, expertise in construction and years of experience in project management.
Becky Vandenbroek (lead design)
Handling all things material at HDB, Becky brings a listening ear, keen eye and a wealth of experience to apply that final finish throughout your project transforming it from house to home. She’s been recognized by the Grand Rapids HBA as one of their best interior designers, received a Best of Houzz award, had multiple features in Dwell and collected two coveted BALA* awards from the National Association of Home Builders. However more important than all these accolades is her senior pug Diggs, without whom she would have clean clothes.

Jeremy Kuzma (project manager)
Jeremy has been involved in all aspects of construction for close to 30 years. He’s been solving problems and bringing projects in on time and budget for longer than Caleb has been alive (you’ll meet Caleb in a minute). He will work diligently to make sure the Build in HDB follows the timeline and exceeds your expectations.
Alex Soto (lead carpenter)
When it comes to hard work and putting hammer to nails Alex has few peers. Nate constantly refers to Alex as the consummate utility player and he lives up to that with a knowledge of not just framing and trim carpentry but electrical, plumbing, HVAC and even drywall repair.
Caleb Vandenbroek (junior carpenter)
You might recognize the last name and you would be correct: Caleb is Nate’s eldest son. He is close to becoming a utility player in his own right and (despite the occasional eye roll) is a sponge for all the “wisdom” Jeremy, Alex and his dad generously dispense.
