Testimonials
“Miller was right there with me. Her creative forces, combined with her excellent listening skills as well as patience were a huge asset in working with her. She absorbed what I had to say and took it into account in her work on putting our mutual ideas into the plan and creating the drawings.... When a question came up she would follow through by contacting sources that were helpful to us. Her communication skills are clear and concise and she is very open in attitude as well as heart. She works exceptionally well with others and has excellent rapport with folks down at the city offices as well as contractors. She speaks their language and that facilitates timely expedition of what can frequently be time consuming red tape.”
“We now have an exquisite remodeled kitchen thanks to Miller and her vision. She listened to our dreams and goals and made them a reality. We now have the wall of windows and perfect lighting that we had wanted for many years. Miller creatively designed the cabinet layout to meet our needs and yet keep the project in budget. She was easy to work with and made what could have been a tedious process a lot of fun. We won’t do another construction project without Miller.”
“We worked with Miller on a design for a woodworking shop and even though it was a small project, we felt that she gave it her full attention and presented us with plans that provided all the detail needed. She also made lots of creative suggestions along the way, which helped us develop a plan that more closely met our needs. And most important of all, she’s fun and easy to work with!”
