With long experience in new construction and in renovation, Cassandra is a multi-faceted designer. Her background includes facilities for education and professional services, interiors, and multi-family residences.

Cassandra’s creative side can be seen in her expertise in interior design, with special attention to color, finishes and furniture. In a recent recommendation, she put the ideal punctuation on a design challenge. BGA’s client wanted to update and emphasize a nautical theme, which was indicative of the nature of their business. Cassandra recommended Teak — a handsome, durable, wood traditionally used in boats. It was the ideal solution.
Cassandra is knowledgeable, resourceful and highly energetic. She has a reputation for making things happen on-time and on-budget.
