The Right People for the Right Jobs Create Design Magic!

I continually explore new sources, resources, and techniques, often discovering new methods and materials in the process. This continual search for what’s new enables me to keep my projects fresh and exciting.

After so many years of working creatively in the Chicago area I have collected a wonderful team of trades, artists, and artisans I can call on to accomplish virtually any design magic. Among these gifted professionals are metal fabricators, woodworkers, glass artisans, concrete fabricators, sewing workrooms, stone cutters, wall painters, muralists and faux finishers.

I also engage upholsterers for both custom furniture and re-upholstering, cane and wicker specialists, and wood finishers who can match any sample or technique required. My cabinet makers are meticulous, the glass artisans can blow, carve and back-paint glass, tile installers can do custom mosaic work.

I can also recommend superb architects, general contractors, electricians, plumbers, rough and fine carpenters and tile installers as required to realize my vision.

I’d match my list of accessory and found-object sources with any.
