PROCESS: Designers are problem solvers and every job is going to have its own unique considerations. Around the creation of each design is a framework of highly important requirements such as communication, schedule, teamwork, and budgets. Properly adhered to, the framework helps focus the collected wisdom of the client, designer, and installers towards a superior creation.
Of course I am a designer because I love the creative process. In reality creativity is 20% of the job and 80% is seeing it through to completion. All our CAD work is handled in house. We can work with contractors for construction drawings and permit sets. Depending on the project it may include hand renderings and Photoshop renderings to aid with the design process. This is also done in house. We work only with the best contractors. We work with our clients to make decisive choices. We maintain budgets and schedules as the project moves forward. We will be there for the finishing touches to complete the space.
AESTHETIC: I am drawn to expressions of warmth and hospitality paired with simplicity of forms and textures. I want the places that I create to be sanctuaries, whether they are restaurants, or living rooms. The design needs to be inviting for companionship and relaxing for solitude. The foundational process that I have created for designing spaces works well across all styles of interiors and exteriors.
LOCAL AND REGIONAL SOURCING: In keeping with my fondness of the history, materials, and craftspeople of Southern California, I have a keen interest in incorporating elements from this region in my designs.LEARN MORE
I created Hatheway Design in 2004. Prior to founding Hatheway Design I worked in a number of architecture, interior design, and landscaping companies, trying to find out which field I preferred. 25 years in, though, and I am ready to admit that I am never going to be able to pick just one. Having been employed on both the design and installation sides of projects, I am equally happy being creative in the office and getting my hands dirty in the field. I am honored and humbled to have built a number of long term relationships with fantastic clients who trust me to create amazing environments.
When I am not working I can be found coaching my son’s baseball team or helping him indulge in his passion for Godzilla monsters. LEARN MORE
