Mary Porzelt is an accomplished professional designer with special expertise in residential kitchen and bath design. Her career has paralleled much of the building industry's growth since the early 1990s. During this time, she saw a standard of cookie-cutter layouts rapidly replaced by increasingly complex design. In meeting the challenges of today’s sophisticated homes, Mary has relied on the foundations of solid, spatial design, as well as attention to function, code and other requirements in developing both safe and vibrant living spaces. She finds her collaborative approach towards working with building professionals and end users the key to happy results in a people-skills business. Mary has been a design consultant for interior designers, architects, and builders serving regional and national clients since 1999. Mary is a graduate of Chamberlayne School of Design at Mt.

Peterman and Talbots. Sara’s extensive experience working directly with textile mills throughout Italy taught her first hand about fabric, color and quality. It was here that she also learned the importance of truly articulating her client’s own aesthetic and vision.
