WHO'S RIGHT FOR US?!
RLD3100000004.gifPROFESSIONALISM - Does the designer seem able to identify with your home and the feeling you desire?  Does he or she accommodate and adjust to your ideas well? Is he or she credentialed?

PORTFOLIO- Does the designer have a well-photographed résumé that indicates a range of competencies and the ability to shape spaces in distinctive ways? Link to online portfolio.

PROGRAMS - Is the design process organized in a clear straight-forward fashion for purposeful meetings and time well-spent?  Does the designer appear more interested in selling products than in engaging you in a process, with a high degree of certainty that there will be few, if any, second thoughts or regrets?

PROBLEMSOLVING - From his or her portfolio & client referrals, do you see evidence of creativity -- solutions to both site and budget constraints?

PRODUCTKNOWLEDGE - What does the designer do to keep current?  Does he or she attend trade shows?  Is there an awareness of products in which you express interest?

PEEREXPERIENCE - Has the designer been in the "real world" -- hands-on with cabinet makers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tile specialists, and other trades?  Is there a history of working well with contractors?
 

Richard P. Landon, CMKBD*,  is able to answer all these questions, "Yes!"

* As of Febuary, 2006, one of less than one hundred Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designers in the United States.
