About Heather Osmond
Heather Osmond is the founder of Osmond Designs, a furniture and interior design business serving residential and commercial clients in Utah and beyond. She is also CEO of Best of State, the Utah awards program that recognizes achievement and innovation across industries, and the host of the KSL Real Estate Show, where she talks real estate, homeownership, design, and business with industry guests. A Provo High and BYU graduate, Utah native, and mother of four, she built each of those roles out of a problem she needed solved first.
Her track record runs wider than design. She got her real estate license so the commission would cover the down payment on a $103,000 starter home in Orem, then lived in the unfinished basement and rented out the upstairs. She and her husband grew that into 33 self-managed rental properties, sold the portfolio, operated five assisted living facilities, and moved into commercial real estate and shopping centers. Osmond Designs reports winning the Best of State Award for interior design and furniture selection every year from 2012 through 2024, along with Houzz Best of Design and Service recognition.
On The Daily Mastermind, Heather sat down with George Wright III for a conversation about building success on her own terms. She traced the path from that first house to the Lehi store — a full gut of the first ZCMI building in Utah — and explained how buying Best of State came from a phone call she never expected. She also talked about what she's added since taking over: a new website, an active brand presence, and the sold-out BOSS symposiums for Utah business leaders.
