Justin & Kylie Hicken

Justin and Kylie Hicken are a husband-and-wife team and the founders of Wizard of Odz and Ends, a kitchen and bath design-build business based in Abilene, Kansas. After relocating in 2015, they established their business on their homestead—land that has been in Kylie’s family since 1880—creating a uniquely personal foundation for their showroom, shop, and client experience.

With more than 50 years of combined experience in the home improvement and design industry, Justin and Kylie bring a diverse background of regional and national project work. Prior to establishing their Kansas-based business, they designed and installed kitchens and baths throughout the southeastern United States while living in Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Orlando. Their project experience spans across the country, from California to Boston and as far as the Virgin Islands, blending large-market design perspective with small-town values and craftsmanship.

Wizard of Odz and Ends was built on a simple but powerful idea: the best spaces are created through collaboration, communication, and a commitment to excellence. Unlike traditional models where design and construction are separated, Justin and Kylie integrate both under one roof—ensuring a seamless process from concept through completion. This unified approach reduces miscommunication, improves efficiency, and creates a more enjoyable and transparent client experience.

Their firm specializes in kitchen and bath remodeling, space planning, and design services supported by innovative 3D visualization and virtual reality technology. This immersive design approach allows clients to experience their future space before construction begins, improving clarity, confidence, and decision-making.

The business also offers eDesign services for clients beyond their immediate region, extending their reach across the country while maintaining a highly personalized design process. From curated product selection to installation, every detail is intentionally managed to ensure cohesive, functional, and beautifully executed spaces.

Justin and Kylie are passionate about combining creative design, craftsmanship, and modern technology to streamline the remodeling process. Their goal is to transform homes into thoughtfully designed, highly functional spaces that clients can enjoy for generations.
