Today we’d like to introduce you to Kashai Zupancich
Hi Kashai, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I was born and raised in Des Moines, IA. I did not receive my first degree in interior design. I received a bachelor’s of business arts degree from William Penn University, and had the intention of going into law school to become a lawyer. After meeting my now husband and moving to the Twin Cities, I gained a love for interior design by watching HGTV. I realized that interior design was my calling because I could exercise my creativity unlike the law field. I enrolled into a interior design program at Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, MN and graduated with an interior design degree in 2014.
After working in the design industry (commercial space planning and residential interior design) for approximately ten years, I made the decision to start my own interior design business. My inspiration for my business name, is my love for color and my desire to see more vibrant colors utilized in interior design spaces. My husband, Eric Zupancich, who owned a construction company for ten years, decided to merge business efforts together with me last year, and Color Pop Interiors became a general contractor in February of 2024.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not necessarily been easy because we are still fine tuning our marketing strategies and tools to get our name out there. What has helped are having referrals from the business that we have acquired.
Some of the struggles that we’ve experienced:
1) Competition with companies that have been in business longer and have a stronger portfolio of work
2) Not having a showroom (which helps with marketing)
3) Having the cash flow to market our business more heavily
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Your house should make you smile. It should be vibrant with your favorite colors, flowing together seamlessly to create a place that makes you feel happy.
With this, Color Pop Interiors was born. Kashai Zupancich, the founder and owner of Color Pop, worked in the design field for 10+ years and firmly believes in the principle: If certain colors make you happy and smile, then putting them in your space is what you need to do.

The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
We weren’t in business at this time, but what I enjoy is the flexibility to work remotely and that more employers are understanding why it makes sense.
