I started my interior design career after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S in Interior Design. I initially went into commercial design, which developed and honed my project management and business skills. However, I was missing the client interaction and the type of creativity specific to residential design, so I switched gears! For the last 18 years I've been designing residential interiors...and it has been amazing! I love the process of building a design and bringing it all together. I know I've succeeded when my client not only has a beautifully designed space but also fully enjoyed the process along the way. I would love to help you with your next design project...contact me today and we'll talk about it! Kirsten Seidl, NCIDQ Certified

A professional kitchen designer is a specialist in planning and implementing the remodel of kitchen spaces. They'll help you pick materials and styles, give you a quote, render a model, and send the order to manufacturers and installers. You can think of them as creative project managers who will facilitate your kitchen project from start to finish.
No, a kitchen designer can't plan for structural remodeling since kitchen designers aren’t structural experts. Consult a pro for structural engineer fees and inquire about changes like removing a wall. Additionally, for changes to your kitchen's electrical, plumbing, or gas lines, you'll need to hire the appropriate professionals, like a licensed electrician or plumber near you.
A kitchen designer’s process includes the following:
Finding inspiration: They may ask for photos, feedback on material samples, and preferred fittings to understand your vision.
Using design tools: These include computer modeling software, 3D and high-resolution cameras for recording your space, color wheels, and sketches.
Considering appliances and fixtures: It’s important that each item is installed correctly, balances aesthetics and functionality, and is conveniently positioned in a kitchen work triangle.
Looking at the whole home: A designer will consider your home's age and style.
Writing up plans: After taking measurements, they create a plan based on your specifications.
It takes anywhere from 10 to 20 hours for a professional kitchen designer to come up with a fully fleshed-out plan for a mid-size kitchen. However, that time can increase if you ask for a complex, custom-designed plan. Ask your designer for a quote on both pricing and overall time frame before you start working together to ensure you're on the same page with expectations.
If you're doing an extensive kitchen renovation, hire a kitchen designer to manage the project and ensure things go smoothly for you. A major renovation may include new flooring, countertops, cabinets, lighting, and structural changes like knocking out a wall or upgrading the electrical, plumbing, or gas lines. If you're doing something more minor, like only replacing a sink or painting your cabinets, you can either pay for installation or DIY.
