A Kitchen Designer drafts plans for building new or updating old kitchens based on a customer's desires. During the initial design meeting, Kitchen Designers discuss the budget and scope of the project, then take measurements and pictures. Using this information, they may create a style-board, rendering, or electronic image of the finished design concept to show the client. Once the plans are approved, the designers work with the clients to select appliances, cabinetry, colors, finishes, and décor. Once approved, the designers coordinate with the vendors, contractors, and installers to see the planned vision for a new kitchen come to life.
