The people
behind each
project.

Helen grew up in Chicago, where weekends spent painting houses with her father introduced her to the colors, textures, trim, and architecture inside different homes. That early exposure became a career. She holds degrees in both sociology and interior design, along with national certifications from NARI and NCIDQ — a combination that gives her a clear understanding of design aesthetics and of how people actually live. For two decades she has specialized in residential new construction, remodels, and design consultations in Southern California and Arizona. Helen believes open dialogue and trust are the foundation of a good client–designer relationship, and she focuses on homes that are highly functional and true to each client’s lifestyle and taste.

Jeff Stuchen was born in Los Angeles and moved to Nogales, Arizona, in 1972. Early in his career, he spent over 12 years as a buyer for his family’s business, where he honed his skills in sourcing and procurement. Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, Jeff then opened a retail store in Tucson, Arizona, featuring unique furniture and accessories from Mexico. Following this venture, he transitioned to a new career path as the general manager and the main salesperson of a company specializing in countertop fabrication, cabinetry, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling, where he served for 17 years. Jeff’s diverse experience — from managing inventory to overseeing complex remodeling projects — has made him a well-rounded and knowledgeable leader in home improvement and design.

Amy was born and raised in Florida and began her design career in St. Louis in 2003. Drawn by the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, she moved to Tucson in 2007 and has been designing kitchens and baths in Southern Arizona ever since. Amy is organized and detail-oriented, but her greatest strength is listening. She pays close attention to each homeowner’s goals and routines, then offers creative options and techniques that fit them. For Amy, a great kitchen is about more than materials — it has to be both functional and refined. She can present several distinct ideas so clients can compare directions before settling on a design.

Dominick has worked in the trades since high school, building hands-on experience and a strong appreciation for quality workmanship. He enjoys working on cars, fixing and building just about anything, and taking on projects that challenge him to learn something new. Outside of work, he spends as much time outdoors as he can — especially hiking, camping, and exploring — and has a particular interest in wildlife, with a soft spot for reptiles and spiders. Dominick is always looking for opportunities to expand his knowledge, refine his skills, and learn new techniques, and he takes pride in being hands-on, adaptable, and willing to figure things out, whether on a job, a vehicle, or a project of his own.

His experience includes international work on residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. He also has a strong interest in technology and enjoys exploring new design tools, visualization methods, and emerging technologies that can improve the design process.
