About

Ingenuity In Design sources specialty items to create a WOW (Way Out Wonderful) experience. Sometimes finding even the most basic building materials requires some industry knowledge.

I am a consultant for hire when you want a visual of the room, the building, the property – before and after incorporating different design and efficiency elements.

There are a number of things to consider that I would never have thought about prior to having first hand experience in the industry. Depending on your finishes it gets very expensive accessing what needs to be accessed for upgrades after the fact. Why not build accessibility features into your design? We work through a host of considerations together for you to make a more educated decision for each aspect of your project.

I work along side you as much as warranted from start to finish. The best way to prepare for the unexpected is with Ingenuity In Design.

Lessons Learned

With Every New Build and Renovation There Are Lessons To Be Learned

My top twelve lessons learned and confirmed over the years:

  • There is more than one way to get a job done.
  • Often there are conflicting priorities at play amongst the contributors.
  • Open communication and transparency is key.
  • Being welcoming & encouraging while on the job are critical traits for effective teamwork.
  • Everyone wants to look forward to getting up to go to the job site. Attitude matters.
  • Solid plans and a set course of action makes the job run more smoothly.
  • Operating with the result in mind with a specific deadline works best for all involved.
  • Confirm credentials, knowledge & experience of every player on the team up front.
  • Make sure all drawings are complete and accurate from the onset.
  • Confirm whether or not assumptions are accurate.
  • Take into consideration all potential dilemmas with, at least, a “Plan B”.
  • Be a respectful contributor and collaborator – taking ownership for the success of the project – no matter what your position or responsibility is on any particular project.
