    I have worked directly with Julie Cavanaugh on two seperate home designs. She is the best! She is able to really understand my wants/needs and will come up with suggestions if I'm not sure about the direction of the design. Not only is her vision impeccable, but she also has the team members to back her up and see the vision through to completion. She has a vast knowledge of the industry, where trends are headed, and how to find the crafts people to implement the design. She really listens and fits the budget with what I can afford, giving many options to choose from at different price points. I highly recommend Design Matters.
