TESTIMONIALS

"Maya does so much for our office it is hard to make sure I have captured it all.  She is truly a wonder!  She keeps up both the Interiors library as well as currently rehauling the exterior materials library.  The library has never been so neat and organized, and we still have a wide selection of materials and finishes for corporate, healthcare, senior living and multi-use buildings.  She has also worked with the designers to keep up specialty areas such as Healthy Hospital Initiative (HHI) and is currently working on vetting all new products to make sure they comply with our sustainability standards.  Maya also keeps up the vendor contacts in Designer Pages and organizes the bi-weekly vendor trade shows, which has helped in controlling the number of vendors visiting our office. She continuously helps the designers with keeping the general office tidy and ensures that vendors pick up samples instead of just throwing them away.  She and her staff are always cheerful and happy to help.  We are truly thankful for having Maya around."
