22 years with Downeast Kitchens

"I have been designing kitchens at Downeast for 22 years, and I've been a Certified Kitchen Designer since 1991." (CKD® or Certified Kitchen Designer is a national certification administered by the NKBA that ensures a high degree of knowledge and professionalism. Requirements include 7 years experience and a series of examinations. Only a few CKDs work in Maine. Learn more.)

"In 25 years, I have created hundreds of kitchens, but also a lot of friendships. I'll combine your ideas and wishes with my knowledge to create a well-designed, pleasing, functional, new kitchen.

One of today's biggest challenges is keeping track of all the details. There are so many choices that need to be made and coordinated into the final project. I'm constantly fine-tuning to make sure that in the end, the kitchen is just what you envisioned. I've been very involved in the Maine Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, including being a founding member and past President. I also served on the NKBA national level on the Board of Directors, and I frequently attend industry shows and seminars."
