	Robin Bretz, Designer Years of designing kitchens and baths for historic homes helped Robin Bretz develop a special talent for turning small spaces into beautiful and highly functional rooms. Her ability to use space in unique and creative ways has impressed clients with challenging projects. Yet Robin’s skills as a designer are equally evident working with newer and larger rooms. Whenever possible, Robin prefers to see the space before beginning a project and talks with clients about their style preferences and the way they use the space. As a mother, Robin is particularly aware of the features that make life easier for parents and their children, whether it’s an extra sink in the bath or a place in the kitchen for the kids to do their homework. Her favorite part of the process is seeing the finished project and the way it improves the look of the home and the lives of the homeowners. Robin started in the industry five years ago after much urging from family and friends. While her background is in accounting, her passion is designing and Robin often puts her math skills to use working with those small spaces. Robin is a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

	Dawn Patterson, Designer An innate sense of aesthetics has always been one of Dawn Patterson’s strengths as a designer. Her ability to walk into a room and envision how it can be redesigned into a space that is both functional and beautiful is a quality that helps her to inspire her clients. As she leads her clients through the design process, Dawn is enthusiastic about listening to their desires and offering suggestions on how to make their wants a reality. She also feels that it is important to take the time to explain to her clients the pros and cons of each option to make sure the choice they make is the best for their situation. Dawn is eager to please her clients and enjoys sharing with them the satisfaction of a completed project. Dawn received her bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Missouri State University.
