“You helped me rethink my space and how to use my fixtures in ways that hadn’t occurred to me. My customers noticed and liked your ideas and so did I. It was refreshing to speak with someone that thinks like an owner and bounce ideas off of. I also used your ideas on the outside of my store and love how things turned out.” Kristen Ling, owner A Framer’s Touch, Forest Grove, OR
