Who you’ll be working with

Owner & Designer

Brett Van Andel

I’m Brett, owner and designer at ANC Design. I’ve always enjoyed imagining spaces, solving problems, and finding creative ways to make things work better. What I enjoy most about residential design, though, is getting to know people, understanding what matters to them, and helping turn their ideas into spaces that make everyday life better.

My wife, Erin, and I have six children, and family is at the heart of everything we do. When our first child was born more than 16 years ago, we began an unexpected medical journey that brought its share of challenges, appointments, and interruptions. It was during that season that ANC, short for “A New Chapter,” took shape. Building this business has given me the flexibility to organize my work around our family’s needs, something that has been an incredible blessing to us.

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, whether that’s sharing a meal, fishing, farming, exploring the outdoors, or barbecues, and finding creative ways to fit ball pits and slides into whatever home we’re living in! I bring that same enthusiasm for creativity and problem-solving to every project, with the goal of understanding what matters to each customer and helping them create a space they will love for years to come.

Project Manager

Aaron Parrish

Aaron manages projects from initial research and the first site visit through the approved permit. He handles as-built drawings, site plans, and permitting, and he works out what each project needs to keep moving through the local planning departments. If you want to know where your project stands, Aaron usually has the answer.

Aaron and his wife, Christina, live in a house designed by Brett with their five boys. You’ll typically find him coaching or watching the boys’ games, working on the property, or expanding the garden with Christina. On Sunday mornings he’s running the technology at Summit Park Bible Church. He also enjoys studying the weird parts of the Bible, driving his “classic” Subaru, and brewing his own kombucha.

Project Manager

Chase Dunn

Chase helps keep projects organized and moving forward from the initial site visit through completed plans and permitting. He handles site visits, as-built drawings, site plans, and permitting, bringing attention to detail and practical problem-solving to each project. His goal is to keep things on track and make the process as smooth as possible for our customers.

Outside of ANC, Chase owns Dunn Rustic Designs, creating and selling floating shelves, mantles, and ledge shelves. He enjoys golf, deepening his understanding of Scripture and teaching it to others, and spending as much time as possible with his wife, Shannon, and their five children. He’s also someone who knows good food and appreciates a great meal!

Emri Van Andel
