Inside-Designs, LLC is a Woman-Owned Small Business Enterprise certified by the State of California, Department of General Services.

At Inside-Designs, our mission is to use the power of design to positively impact people’s lives and to facilitate the magic that arises out of a collaborative process.  The process begins by developing an in-depth understanding of our clients' vision and goals from which strategies, plans, and designs evolve that fulfill those goals and leave a positive impact on communities long after the work is complete.  

While context, existing conditions, architecture, budget and schedule guide important decisions, our planning and interior solutions are developed through a collaborative and interactive process that engages end-users, clients, consultants and team members.  We utilize CAD, Revit and visualization tools to study and communicate design concepts, helping clients realize their vision and achieve their goals through a team-based partnership.    

Comprehensive planning, creative thinking and our commitment to quality service and products results in well-developed designs and successful long-term client relationships.  Every project presents an opportunity to listen, explore, and design new and better solutions for productive environments.

From limited assistance to comprehensive turn-key services, Inside-Designs delivers value-driven solutions based upon your individual project needs.
