When we meet for the first time you’ll quickly notice I like to laugh. Clients tell me they really appreciate that I make sure we get the job done right and have fun at the same time. I appreciate the trust my clients place in me to help capture their vision and translate it into a kitchen that is a pleasure to spend time in.

Most of my clients are professionals who have an artistic side. Often my clients have a mainstream type of profession (doctors, engineers etc.) during the day but have hobbies such as cooking or art that allows them to express their creative side. I love working in a collaborative way and believe that the best ideas happen through rich, open conversations. That’s what I think great kitchens should inspire as well.

I’m really excited about my new partnership with local artists who help add a unique twist to my clients’ kitchens. Please make sure to check out some truly awe inspiring pieces that can be incorporated into your space. If I am lucky enough to work with you we will explore a number of styles and pieces throughout the design and selection process.

Thanks for visiting my website and I hope we will have the opportunity to have a chat sometime about the kitchen you are aspiring to design and build.

Cheers!
