What inspires and influences your work?

Inspiration is everywhere—from the places we visit, photos online, fashion trends, and just the everyday world around us. But neither inspiration nor current trends matter if they don’t resonate with our client. At Highmark, we want to know what inspires our clients. What do they want more from their current homes? Once that’s understood, we can engage and collaborate with our award-winning Ruby+Suede team to bring the project to life.

What do you enjoy most about remodeling homes?

Everything about it! Remodeling helps our clients enjoy their homes again while keeping them in the neighborhood they know and love. To be able to take their ordinary space and reimagine it into an extraordinary one is beyond exciting every time.

What are some of your favorite trends and styles in remodeling?

If the last couple of years taught us anything, it’s that we’re more attached to our homes than ever before. So, we want the greatest experiences from them. That’s why we love anything to do with elevating that experience—be it connecting outdoor spaces to the home for more entertaining, adding wood-burning fireplaces with character-driven surrounds for better ambiance, or building out a home office to make working from home even more rewarding.
