A Note From Our President:

president“I have been the proud owner of Design Specialists, Inc. since 1988. Over the years our company has formed countless lasting relationships with our clients because that is what we are all about here at Design Specialists!

Although we are an interior design company, we are really a service business; taking care of our client’s specific needs. We build customer confidence by listening to our clients, providing excellent customer service and thinking outside the box!!

I am very pragmatic when it comes to design and completely understand that it’s not all about design; it’s often about time frames and budgets. There is always more than one way to solve a customer’s design needs.

We are also very blessed in the sense that we have a staff that enjoys what they do and understand who our clients are. Our office, though busy and sometimes demanding, is a very creative and energizing place to work. Interior Design is my passion and I love to help my clients actually enjoy the process of renovation and new construction. I truly believe that we make a positive, lasting impact on the people we touch.”
