"My goal is to 'marry' beauty and function. There is nothing more satisfying than creating a space that is both useful and aesthetically pleasing."
Client Testimonial
"Elena is a talented, imaginative and perceptive designer. She can adjust her style to your requests, never imposing her own tastes. She is always a professional but is personable too. Elena has a wealth of knowledge in construction which makes her that much more effective as a designer. I enjoyed working with her on my kitchen and mud room remodel. I can't be happier with the final results. I highly recommend Elena for your projects."
Experience
I have been a part of the design industry since 2009. My favorite part of this job is collaborating with my colleagues to find the best design solution. I am always inspired by my clients, who are all unique in their individual tastes and backgrounds. My clients give me the opportunity to experience design using a variety of styles, color schemes and budget possibilities. I enjoy talking to clients, getting to know them and helping them, find their own personalized design style. I love seeing their personalities shine through, making each space their own. I am grateful for having the opportunity to do what I love on a daily basis.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening and working on home improvements.
