"I want to be a calming factor in a client’s venture into the unknown," says Todd Wiley, a kitchen designer with 20 years experience. "Most of the time, people really don't understand how many decisions have to be made when renovating or designing a new kitchen. It can be a big shock. There are so many directions you can go."His experience includes years in the building trade giving him a good understanding of load bearing, heating, cooling, plumbing and other behind-the-walls parts of a kitchen. He also prides himself on being up-to-date on new appliances, products and options for both cutting edge and traditional designs.Choosing and fitting together the perfect cabinetry for a client's particular situation is what he does best. "I truly listen to the client to determine their needs and then customize what is available to provide the solution," he says.In addition to being passionate about designing functional and aesthetically pleasing kitchens, Todd Wiley believes in the importance of "green" design and will work creatively to use sustainable products and processes.Services include...- Concept Consultation- Floor plan development- Review of products for counters/plumbing/electrical- Appliance Recommendations- Cabinetry selections and design- Hardware selection and placement- Collaboration with contractor and other members of design team- Develop and work within a budget- Sustainable Design- Universal DesignSpecialties: Kitchen and Bath Design, Sales and Service
