Designer Dawn Reintsma, ASID
As a child I was inspired by my parent's creativity. I watched my Dad build our home and I was inspired to draw rudimentary floor plans, some of which I still have. In addition, I also rearranged my parent's furniture quite frequently to experiment with different layouts and space planning in our home.
As a young adult, I worked with an architect and designer while in high school and then continued to follow my passion as I earned my Bachelors Degree in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Colorado in 2001. In addition to obtaining my design degree, I also passed the NCIDQ test which allowed me to become a professional member of ASID and sets me apart from others in the industry. The completion of this rigorous test signifies the hallmark of professionalism in the interior design community and is evidence of a solid background and education in the field of interior design.
I gained my kitchen and bath remodel experience from several valuable sources. The first with tile and stone industry leader Ann Sacks where I learned everything about the vast market of tile, stone, and plumbing. I then joined high end residential design firm kd design consultants where I expanded my knowledge regarding remodels and new construction working with top architects and contractors. In addition, I worked with one of Denver's most popular architectural firms Semple Brown Design architects. They are best known for their restoration of Denver's Larimer Square. I feel fortunate to have worked with some of Denver's most talented designers and architects. This has allowed me to obtain a unique foundation for my own design aspirations.
