Patty Miller is a member of the NKBA and the American Society of Interior Designer, with more than a decade of experience in all aspects of interior design. She is a specialist in the skills needed to meet the design challenges of kitchens in older and historic homes, and approaches projects wit an eye towards timelessness and historical integrity. She places particular emphasis on the value of salvaging and integrating historical details, as a means of not only honoring their importance and beauty, but also paying tribute to the memory of the past, all while instituting a functional layout that serves present-day needs.
Patty believes that the beauty and function must be in alignment to maintain balance in design, and that strong spatial planning is foundational for the actualization of a good design. In regards to these principles, her years as a professional chef have done much to inform her kitchen design attitudes, where the importance of having a system of functional zones within a kitchen simply cannot be denied.
In all her endeavors, she strives to create surroundings that enliven her client's spirits, facilitate their functional needs, and bring them joy and serenity as they go about their daily lives.
