Of all that the human hand is capable, there is none more excellent, useful and more universally admired than the art of painting.
Cater to those looking for something unique, refined and artful. Many of the designs are inspired by a passion for vintage porcelain china and ceramic tiles. Educated as an interior designer, Debbie partnered with Eric, a licensed General Contractor over 30 years ago. Together they have completed many remodels with their work prominently featured in well known design magazines. Though the vast majority of their work goes in high end residential kitchen and bathroom remodels, they do work in commercial and retail locations as well. Together they have taken their handpainted ceramic tiles nationwide to the design trade.
As a designer, Debbie has had a love affair with art since she was in grade school and proudly displays her original set of 50 colored markers from her childhood, as a reminder of how far her artistic journey has taken her in life. Like her, everyone on her design team holds that same passion for making long lasting art for the home.
All of the studio artisans have an extensive background in painting on ceramics as well as other art forms. Their expertise to handcraft many complex and detailed designs for nearly any size or application of tile installation, truly sets them apart from any other tile studio. With great pride in working together, the team hopes that they exceed every clients’ expectations.
We are looking forward to working with you and invite you to contact us for more design or technical information.

Ask a lot of questions! Gain knowledge of context, users, & business goals. Research competitive products & conduct interviews. Identify objective & conceptualize. Gather data and collaborate to synthesize. Get them post-its notes ready!
Create user flows to help gather a holistic understanding of the user experience. Wireframe for constant feedback & quick reiterations. This helps save the business money by preventing revisions in the latter half of the product cycle!
Develop paper prototypes and/or hi-fidelity mockups (InVision, Axure, Balsamiq) will help identify any blindspots or interactions that the user missed. Evaluate design with stakeholders and gather feedback from usability testing.
Complete final design and prepare the deliverables for all stakeholders. But, the work isn't finished yet. The whole product experience starts here and will only benefit from constant feedback and making improvements.
