Denise Larsen has played a key, multi-faceted role as Pamela Polvere Design’s manager since its inception in January 2000.

Often the firm’s first point of contact, she serves as a key purchasing agent, oversees all accounts payable and accounts receivable, provides customer service and a variety of other support and management activities.

Pamela Polvere first met Larsen in 1987, when Sprovieri Kitchens of Elmwood Park employed both of them.

Larsen grew up in Franklin Park, graduating from Mother Guerin High School in River Grove before attending Triton College and Elmhurst College.

She and her husband, Tim, spent two years building their log home on a half-acre property in Gurnee. They have resided there since 1991, raising their three children, Matthew, Kayla, and Tori.
