Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We've been in business since 1992.
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary offering is collaborative design of custom homes and remodels, with a specialty in healthy, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions. We also provide architectural services for values-driven businesses and clustered cottage communities.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I've been drawn to design since childhood, and a drafting class in high school solidified that focus. I attended the architectural drafting program at Spokane Community College, and got a part time job at an architecture firm while in school. That turned into full time before my studies were complete. I continued through apprenticeship rather than the university route to prepare for my licensing exams, and became licensed to practice architecture several years later.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are a small, women-run company with a deep understanding of how people really live in their homes and workplaces.
We have focused on sustainable design from the very beginning, and have an expertise in the processes and products that can create a successful, affordable green project for our clients.
We are Certified Aging in Place professionals, helping our clients create homes for a lifetime.
