Creative Problem Solving, Motorcycles and Bathroom Design
Creative problem solving, motorcycles and bathroom design
“I could tell she had the kind of personality you want in an interior design project manager: calming.”
Denise joined the Uma Stewart team in Summer of 2021. She previously owned an art gallery in New York City, and before that received her interior design degree in London. She brings an international flair and creative eye to the team. When she and Uma met, they just clicked. Denise and Uma make a great team because they have slightly different aesthetics and challenge each other to look at products in new ways when sourcing for clients. Denise brings attention to detail and a unique artistic eye from her art gallery days. Together their viewpoints fuel creativity and make the work that much more refined and unique for clients.
She has the kind of personality you want in an interior design project manager: calming. Nothing goes entirely as planned in design/construction projects, but Denise has the wonderful ability to look at a problem and calmly find creative solutions, which our clients appreciate.
It’s also very useful that Denise is interested in understanding the technicalities of kitchen & bathroom equipment (a specific and highly valuable skill) which allows her to communicate wonderfully with contractors. In fact, her favorite jobs to work on are the ones with interesting construction nuances, particularly bathroom design. “A bathroom is such a utilitarian space, it is great to be able to both work on the practicalities and be creative in what is usually one of the smaller rooms of the house”.
She has two children (one a teen) and is able to connect with clients about the different life cycles with kids. Denise understands the design needs that come up according to the different life phases of families, in whatever form they may be. It’s important to think outside the box when designing for a growing family. Plus, she’s just fun.
Denise brought one more unexpected surprise to the Uma Stewart team – she became the reason why Uma rode a motorcycle for the first time! She has an adventurous spirit and she and Uma both love skiing and dancing.
As you can surely tell, Denise is a cherished member of the Uma Stewart team! When you choose to work with Uma Stewart Lifestyle and Design, you are getting much more than an interior designer.
