In a recent interview, Rona was asked about her approach to 
    Interior Design and what it is like to work with her.

 

    Here is an excerpt:

A SHORT CONVERSATION WITH RONA:

 

1.  CAN YOU DESCRIBE HOW YOUR FIRM WORKS?

 

     Although I am the only interior designer, I work with a valued and  
    wonderful team of trades people including an architect, builder, fine 
    furniture craftsman, electrician, home systems group, upholsterer,
    drapery workroom, painter, decorative artist and many others as     
    the need arises.

    These are my "go to" people who are called upon to implement 
    and craft my designs for my clients.  They install the finished 
    product.  We are all about quality, function and beauty done with 
    respect for the budget and timeline set by the client.   
      

2.  WHAT IS YOUR STYLE OF DESIGN? 

    I resist labeling my work as a particular style.  Each project is 
    special since each client is different.  But every project has one 
    thing in common:  it reflects the wishes of that specific client no 
    matter what style they are interested in. 

    My work does have a certain timelessness and elegance about it.  
    Design solutions are provided for the life you live in a way that 
    reflects you, not me.
    

3. WHY ARE YOU UNIQUE? 

    My education background first as a Home Economist and later 
    post-graduate studies leading to an Interior Design degree from 
    Parsons School of Design in New York City (graduated with 
    Honors) blends both disciplines for the benefit of my clients.  

    I focus in a unique way on making things better for them 
    whether it is for residential or commercial projects.  My interiors 
    are visually striking and extremely practical too!

4.  WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM OTHERS?

    I am blessed with clarity, am a very good listener and analyzer of 
    information which helps me get it right the first time, focusing on     
    what needs to be done.  

    I also have great organizational skills so my projects are well 
    managed.  I believe it is important to be a creative interior 
    designer.  But, being a good business person is also critical so 
    installations are smooth and worry-free. Combining the two 
    aspects of creativity and business ability brings a lot of value to my 
    clients and their projects.

5.  WHAT DO YOU TELL INQUIRING CLIENTS ABOUT WORKING 
      WITH AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?  

   There are so many facets to Interior Design.  People think it is easy 
    because of what they see on TV.  They figure "I could do this too!"  
    But this is not realistic.  With the Internet and other available
    shopping outlets, a person can easily make costly errors without 
    even knowing it.

    I attend Trade Shows, international Markets, and take advanced 
    courses to continuously upgrade and improve my knowledge,     
    staying ahead of the curve.  I have the information that gives me the 
    ability to make the correct decisions, such as knowing 
    proper scale and proportion, codes that protect you, lighting 
    information and expertise in space planning and so much more.

    To summarize:
    "We take your vision from inspiration to reality, giving you the 
     benefit of our experience, education and creativity."

    Thank you!
