- What was the client’s dream?
- He wanted to make a vacation home for his family and his coworker’s family to enjoy.
- What’s a major challenge you solved?
- One of major challenges I faced was time management. I solved it by communicating with the customer on the order, organizing my notes, and prioritizing his kitchen design. He was a contractor who needed this project to be done as soon as possible, and we were able to make it happen.
- What’s your favorite thing about this kitchen?
- I love the colors, especially Serenity, which instantly tell you the home is meant to be a beachy getaway. Each detail works toward the purpose of the space—to have fun and to relax (especially the bench in the kitchen). And the transparent glass in the top cabinets lets the homeowners display decorations that vibe with the beachy getaway theme.

- What’s a tip, trick, or trade secret you’d like to share?
- Patience is a virtue.
- How did KraftMaid make it easy to complete this project?
- Tandem has helped me so much, especially their customer service support chat. Anytime I needed help answering a question, they were always there. Will, our KraftMaid rep, also helped whenever I had an issue or question. He was a great problem solver and very easy to communicate with.
- Any advice for next year’s contestants?
- Work together with your other kitchen designers and plan thoroughly with your clients!
