Designer Biography
Design Philosophy
When designing spaces for clients, Kevin Briggs makes sure he first understands how they will use their spaces and what style preferences they have. He listens attentively to their wishes and concerns, then produces a plan that incorporates those details. He creates a personal, beautiful and functional space for his clients, and turns their dreams into reality.
Kevin practices restraint when it comes to design and avoids the common mistake of overdesigning a space, which makes the space cluttered and too busy. He often characterizes his design philosophy as 'understated elegance'.
Experience
Kevin Briggs has more than 20 years experience in the remodeling industry, specializing in kitchens, baths and home additions. He is adept in all design styles, from Old World or Traditional to Transitional and Modern, as evidenced by his many awards.
