  Watkins Design Works

  Jan 2014 - now

  Owner

  Watkins Design Works is a commercial interior design firm which offers all facets of interior design services for businesses, healthcare facilities, federal and state government agencies, higher education clients, the hospitality industry, and military clients. From programming through construction administration, from conceptual color palettes to custom millwork detailing, Watkins Design Works will be involved with you throughout the entire process, designing functional and beautiful interiors that support your needs, your brand and your vision. The triple bottom line of sustainability is inherent in everything we do: environment-equity-economy, each considered in equal parts. By embracing an integrative design process, where designers, architects, engineers and all stakeholders are involved in a design project early and often, we are able to connect the built environment with the natural environment, so that quality of life is improved for the users, and local habitat is regenerated. Economic savings are realized through this early decision-making process, rather than diminishing value through traditional "value engineering" at the end of the design process.We are certified by the Small Business Administration as a Woman-Owned Business and Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Business. We are registered with the State of West Virginia as a Small Business and Woman-Owned Business. Show less
