First and foremost, as an NCIDQ-certified interior designer, I respect and appreciate the importance of the work you do.  You can count on my respect, dedication, and honesty throughout the process of working with Creative.  I’ve worked for over two decades to craft inspiring, crafting out-of-the-box furniture and technology applications, and I look forward to collaborating with you to come up with the next great idea!

With my foundation in hospitality design, I view every design project as an opportunity to incorporate elements of delight and character into the built environment.  I believe in the power of space to improve lives, and I look forward to collaborating with you to develop furniture and technology solutions that inspire and uplift people.  Above all, you can count on me to approach your projects with passion, energy, and enthusiasm.

Lighten Your Load

We’re here to lighten your load, helping you get more miles out of your billable hours.  Creative offers complementary support services to our A&D partners throughout the life of your project including:

  • Workplace Tools and Resources – Creatve and Steelcase offer a variety of tools designed to enhance your programming activities, including workplace surveys and workshops.
  • Furniture Application Thought Starters – We have an extensive, searchable database of thought-starters that can help you kick-start the conceptual stages of furniture exploration.  We are also adept at rapid typical development, providing concepts targeted at your unique project needs.
  • Furniture Product Research & Evaluation – We’re your FF&E experts.  Lean on our team to help you identify a range of choices based on your aesthetic, functional, and budgetary needs.  We can provide imagery, budget pricing, and product samples for your project; let us do the heavy-lifting on your behalf.
  • FF&E Budget Development – We can help you quickly develop reliable budgets for your projects.  After answering a few quick (and painless) questions, we can provide good-better-best budgeting for projects of all sizes and types.
  • Materials Review and Evaluation – COMs on upholstered furniture are a great way to bring unique character to a project.  But they can also be a minefield during the specification phase.  Our team can do the legwork of reviewing your textiles selection for application on the products you’re considering.  We can help you head off potential delay and frustration down the road.
  • Custom Solution Development – When standard offerings don’t meet your needs, our expert team works with our national and local makers to develop bespoke solutions for your project.  By leveraging our deep knowledge of contract furniture design and engineering, we develop customized solutions that are on target, on time, and on budget.
  • Insights and Information – We believe in continuous learning and support that for all members of the Architecture and Design Community.  Working on a project and need a deep dive into a specific subject matter?  Reach out to our team and we will connect you with subject matter experts, white papers and CEUs that get you up to speed quickly.
