Charlene Smith, Kickstart by Design
“I watched “Common Errors in Kitchen Design” today. Very concise and informative! I’m fairly new to the kitchen design game so I was captivated to see what your changes were going to be. I enjoyed it. I think the format and process of teaching works very well. I actually used the tip about the uppers with my shop manager today!”
