Welcome!
…to my online home. I am an independent, award-winning Certified Kitchen Designer specializing in interior residential remodeling design in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Many of my clients come to me because they have a kitchen that is not "easy"; they also like working with an independent designer with nothing to sell. I listen and help by presenting remodeling options and decisions in a logical progression.
My specialty is remodeling inconvenient, outdated kitchen space and integrating the remodeled space with the surrounding rooms and style of your home.
I created this site to educate current clients about the kitchen design and remodeling processes. Browse around, learn more, and see if you think I might be able to help with your project. If you need additional answers, browse to my kitchen design blog, Kitchen-Exchange, and ask your question there.
