Budget-Conscious, ROI-Focused – A great designer knows where to splurge and where to save.

We are budget conscious and don't want to spend much on the interior by going with a general contractors(that will be the last option).

This is the kind of inherent human bias we need to be conscious of. 

I hope everybody is enjoying their day. 

I enjoy owning it.  

Want to say a general and huge Thank you to these forums, even before being a "professional" of the industry, this was somewhere I enjoyed posting and meeting people when I had my W2, and continues to be the "benchmark" in the industry for me. 

As others have said, I don't have design dilemmas per se, but at first I struggled with finding quality / cost conscious pieces.  

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, supporting my children's sports activities and volunteer as an assistant hockey coach.Look forward to meeting you!
