Lisa has been with us for a few months now, and we would like to share with you her interior design experience and some useful insights on the process of creating dream kitchens and bedrooms. Hi Lisa! Let’s start off with a brief outline of your journey before working for Interiors By Design.

Designing in a Virtual World

Designing in a Virtual World

We offer virtual consultations to allow us to discuss with our customers exactly…
