Creative Design Solutions celebrates 15 years in business!

Creative Design SolutionsI am celebrating 15 years in business!

Hard to believe that I was opening the doors to Creative Design Solutions 15 years ago. I have celebrated so many accomplishments and been through so many changes since then. Not to mention how very grateful I am for the opportunity to work with so many of you!

Instead of providing a traditional newsletter this month, I wanted to take you down memory lane with me. I have been looking back at all I have done in the industry, all I can offer and some fun trivia about how I work. Take a peek behind the curtains of how I work here at Creative Design Solutions.

I can’t thank you enough for all of your support and business over the last 15 years. Working in your homes and in the homes of your friends and family has been a privilege that I do not take lightly! And your referrals! Well, those are the best compliment I can possibly get. So, from the bottom of my heart I want to say…

THANK YOU.

Hope you enjoy!
Heather

Fun trivia about the CDS office!

  • Heather loves all kinds of music.
  • Heather’s favorite color is purple.
  • When Heather is feeling drained and needs a reset, she goes outside for a walk or to her garden for inspiration. This usually works to clear her mind so her creativity is recharged again.
  • Clients often ask Heather where she saw an idea. This is hard to explain because often, she just thinks it up. She wasn’t necessarily inspired by an outside source.
  • Heather is a recovering perfectionist.
  • Creative Design Solutions is sending our annual donation to Loaves and Fishes and we are also sponsoring a child through the Salvation Army Angel Tree. Want to donate as well? Click here!
