This designer, Kendra has always had an eye for design. It wasn’t until recently that more and more people were going to school for design. So when she went to college, her parents pushed her to take a different path, she majored in communications.
After she graduated, her friends would ask her to help them decorate their homes. Since she had a great eye for design, she decided to turn her passion into a career.
She’s been a designer in the Charlotte area for almost 20 years and has her own design firm, Pheasant Hill Designs.
Pheasant Hill Designs is a full service design firm specializing in kitchen and bath design.
Her favorite aspect of being a designer is that no two days are ever the same. Some days she is designing a kitchen and the next she is sourcing wallpaper and furnishings. She emphasises how important it is to communicate with the client about both their needs and expectations.
A common misconception that she faces is that everyone thinks that being a designer is glamorous, everyday and all the time. Which is not the case. Designers spend a large about of time on the job site and are always on the go, taking the products to and from warehouses and homes.
Her communications degree has helped her with client interaction but everything she learned in the design field is completely self taught.
