One of my favorite niches in the design and build industry is custom cabinetry.

Why? Because the possibilities are endless.

I don’t design around trends. Cabinetry is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home, and my goal is to create something that feels just as beautiful 20 years from now as it does today.

This walnut vanity is a perfect example. Slab-front walnut cabinetry, a matching walnut countertop with an integrated sink, and a custom sculpted shadow reveal create a piece that feels more like furniture than cabinetry.

The best compliment I can receive is hearing, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

If you’re looking for truly custom cabinetry that’s designed specifically for your home and your lifestyle, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.

One of my favorite parts of what I do is seeing potential where most people see something that needs to be replaced.

Swipe to see the before. ➡️

This custom rift white oak railing was designed specifically for this home and built from scratch by my cabinet maker. Every detail was intentional, from the proportions and spacing to the custom stain that ties seamlessly into the white oak flooring throughout the house.

What I love most is that it functions as more than a railing. It became a focal point, a feature wall, and one of the first things you see when you walk through the front door.

This project is especially meaningful because it’s my own home. The house has an incredible mid-century character that feels more like a California mountain retreat than a typical Michigan home, and preserving that personality while elevating it was the goal from day one.

Design is only part of what we do. We help clients bring ideas to life through custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, renovations, and thoughtful design-build solutions that are created specifically for their homes.

Sometimes the best projects aren’t about adding more. They’re about seeing what’s possible.

Selections for a medical training facility currently in progress.

Every material in a commercial space has to connect cohesively. Flooring, carpet, cabinetry, tile, paint, wallcoverings, and texture all play a role in how the space ultimately feels.

The goal for this project was to create something clean, elevated, professional, and calming for the doctors and surgeons using the space daily.

A big part of my job is taking all of these individual selections and turning them into a clear direction before construction even begins.

Not just a bathroom. An extension of the brand.

The rest of this med spa leans into creamy whites and walnut. Clean, warm, elevated.

So instead of repeating that here, we went the opposite direction.

This space was meant to feel like a moment. Darker, moodier, a little unexpected. The burgundy shows up in the stone veining and decor, tying back to the brand without making everything feel matchy.

This one was more technical than it looks. The layout had to meet ADA requirements, so every detail had to balance function and design without compromising either.

We handled everything from start to finish:

• Full design + build
• All trades managed
• ADA-compliant layout without sacrificing design
• Materials selected to support the overall brand

That’s how you get a space that actually feels this intentional.

The same level of detail goes into every project, whether it’s a commercial space or a home.

Med Spa- - Thank you for fully trusting us to transform your dream space! 🤎
