They say the devil's in the details, but for Jennifer Debski, so are the delights. When interviewing clients and taking measurements in the kitchen spaces they want to upgrade, Jennifer uses her skills of observation and insight to get a fuller sense of the customer's style.
Having identified an element of inspiration, Jennifer moves into the design phase with an objective to create something truly distinct. "The details are what differentiate your kitchen from your neighbor's. What draws me to kitchen design is the challenge of combining those details with the essential elements, solving a design puzzle," she says.
With 25 years of quality design experience behind her, Jennifer consistently pays attention to the most minute details for each and every client engagement. Her strategic approach to the creative process is not only effective, but distinctive.
