“Sue Has Done Incredible Work And We Will Be Using Her Services For Future Projects“
We could tell from day 1 that she was fully invested in this project. Soon she knew not only our space but also the vision for our businesses, as well as who we were as people. What we gave her was a vague idea of what we were looking for, and in turn, she gave us curiosity, tenacity, and patience as she worked to realize our vision. I am confident in saying that if we had not had Sue involved in the project, regardless of the design, our space would very likely be a shadow of what it currently is. She embodies the idea of making sure the client is satisfied and being a solution. Sue and Insite Licensed Design Group were exactly what we were looking for.
