Designer Resume

Name: Tanya Broun Occupation: Designer – Metro Dwelling Designs, LLC Previous Occupation: Commercial real estate project manager (one of the "local" banks)

	Large scale home renovations (gutting to studs and then putting everything back together)
	Cost-effective home face lifts (everybody else will think it was a large scale renovation)
	Kitchen and bathroom updates (from on-the-budget to custom built)
	Home staging (equals to more money and/or a quicker home sale)
	Green design (there is not such a thing as big or small when it comes to saving the environment and healthy living)
	Baby rooms (rooms that grow along with the baby and not the other way around)
	Shopping for bargains (if something costs less elsewhere it is worth spending time on finding it)

	Less is the more (in most cases)
	Most expensive does not mean best
	Monochromatic can be more fun than color if done right
	Reuse/repurpose/recycle
	Use color wisely - today's favorite color is rarely the favorite color tomorrow
	Treat fashion with caution – sofa costs much more than a pair of trendy jeans

	Deadlines are there to be met but not at the cost of quality
	Respect contractors and they will treat you the same way
	Realtor's opinion matters
	Value and quality does not equate to high costs

	Mid-century modern
	Scandinavian
	Craftsman
	Anything that exudes an understated elegance and has a twist
