A Family at the Center of It All
For the Martinez family, life in Naperville is centered around connection—both at home and in the community they’ve come to love over the past three years. Herb and Megan, along with their children Heri (8) and Mia (6), have built a life that’s equal parts busy, joyful, and deeply rooted in family.
 
From ninja classes to dance recitals, their days are filled with activity and laughter. “Our home never has a dull moment,” they share. Even their dog, Luigi—often spotted visiting their business—adds to the lively dynamic.
 
Weekends often include time at church, family gatherings, or visits to favorite local spots like IKKAI Sushi, Hugo’s, Quiubo, and Sparrow Coffee. And with downtown Naperville and nearby parks just a walk away, it’s easy to see why they’ve found their place here.
 
A Life Built on Connection and Balance
Herb and Megan’s story began in Cancun, Mexico—a fitting start for a couple whose partnership is rooted in balance.
 
Herb brings deep roots in a family-run business and a lifetime of hands-on experience. He grew up immersed in the world of home design and construction—“some say he was born on a pile of carpet rolls.”
 
Along with Megan, whose warm, small-town Missouri upbringing complements Herb’s experience, the two have created something uniquely their own. Their shared vision is rooted in both heritage and evolution.
 
Together, they’ve created something special—not just at home, but in how they show up for their community. Whether it’s volunteering through their church or supporting organizations like the Little Friends foundation, giving back is simply part of who they are.
 
Introducing Mart Design Co.
Formerly known as Best Buy Interior Finishes, Mart Design Co. represents the next chapter of a 30-year family legacy. Under Herb and Megan’s leadership, the business has grown from flooring, cabinets, and countertops into a full-service design, remodeling, and building company.
 
With more than 100 kitchen and bathroom remodels completed last year alone, the company now offers a comprehensive, start-to-finish experience. Clients are guided through every phase—from photorealistic design renderings to detailed construction plans and on-site project management.
 
But what truly sets them apart is their approach: collaboration. “We want our customers to become part of the design team,” they explain. “It’s about creating spaces that not only look beautiful but function perfectly for the families who live in them.”

A Team Built on Trust
Behind Mart Design Co. is a dedicated team that Herb and Megan consider their greatest asset. With many team members having been with the company for years, there’s a strong culture of trust, pride, and craftsmanship.
 
Their in-house capabilities—including a state-of-the-art stone fabrication shop—allow them to maintain quality and consistency across every project. And while no construction process is ever perfect, their commitment to responsiveness and customer care ensures clients feel supported every step of the way.
 
Designing for Today—and Tomorrow
As the business evolves, so does its vision. Looking ahead, the Martinez family is excited about design trends that bring warmth and personality back into the home—think rich colors, defined spaces, and timeless style.
 
For Herb and Megan, though, success isn’t just about beautiful spaces—it’s about building something lasting for their family and community. With their children already spending time in the studio, the hope is that this legacy will continue for generations to come.
