"My approach to design/build is really to start with what the pain points are for the homeowners. What they don't like about their space, and then kind of play off on looking at their style throughout their home and trying to pull everything back together. "

My approach to design/build is really to start with what the pain points are for the homeowners. What they don't like about their space, and then kind of play off on looking at their style throughout their home and trying to pull everything back together. Making those pain points into something that go away and bringing in something that makes their house feel like a home. but I think my favorite part is probably the fact that I've done all the background, I've done all the back side of the industry, and then at that point you're only doing one section. And here with this job, I get to do absolutely everything...
