MT Moxie Makes Murals & Design

Keri Iwanok

Keri's passion for creating and design started at an early age when she converted her treehouse into the coolest spot in town using the cushions from her Grandma's couch. Though her heart was originally set on painting classic cars, she fell in love with interior painting after taking a side job for a body shop owner in her hometown of Great Falls, MT. From there, she began painting for friends, family, and commercial property owners who gave her full reign to explore her design instinct.  She negotiated 'painting for PTO' at her day job after noticing that the conference room needed a refresh and, somehow, always found a reason to pick up a paintbrush. It didn't take long to discover that Keri had a knack for making ordinary spaces filled with ordinary things, feel extraordinary.  

After raising a family and enjoying a long career in the legal field, she found her way back to doing what she loves most: helping people fall in love with their spaces. 

In 2023, while working as a Sr. Business Operations & Facilities Manager, Keri had the good fortune of managing a Tenant Improvement Project that allowed her to dig deep into user experience design theory to thoughtfully and creatively overcome pain points and space challenges. That project reignited her love of a good design challenge and won her the 'People First' Core Value Award. 

In 2024, Keri combined her painting experience with her eye for detail & design and and ventured into the world of mural painting. Her first mural is located on Main Street, downtown Rogers, MN. 

With a head for business, heart for service, and a creative spirit, she is committed to helping people create unique and meaningful spaces.

"For me, design is an intuitive process. I am not formally trained. I simply have an eye for detail/placement, a love for ideation, creation, imperfection, storytelling, and an interest in learning about people. I help clients learn to trust their own design intuition and, together, we create a space that is just right for them."

• Mural Painting
• Design Consulting
• Community Engagement (i.e., paint days, artist talks)

At MT Moxie Makes, we partner with organizations that care about people, place, and purpose.

Together, we design murals that make a visual impact, reflect your mission and help you connect with your community.

We believe in the power of 'we.'
MT Moxie Makes was founded on the idea that murals can do more than fill a wall.  They can move people, start conversations, and support the community. 

We bring professional skill, a collaborative spirit, and a bit of humor to every project. We’ll probably laugh during meetings, but will still hit your deadline. 

We work best with mission-minded organizations who want to make something with people- not just for them. We know how to manage timelines, translate vision into visuals, and make even the most complex community feel seen.

• People Before Paint.  Murals should serve the people who see them every day. That’s where we start.
• Design With, Not For.  Every project is built around collaboration with clients, communities, and stakeholders. 
• Inclusion & Belonging. We create space for more voices, more stories, and more people to see themselves reflected in public space.
• Give Back Through Art. Our work is a tool for connection, care, and reinvestment in the communities we serve.

Our Privacy Promise To You:  While we'd love nothing more than to showcase amazing before/after photos, we understand that not everyone is comfortable having their personal spaces displayed on the internet. For that reason, we will never share interior residential photos without your consent. We are equally proud to display your kind words.
