THE STORY BEHIND
led by Betty Dankongkakul, NCIDQ, WElL AP
After working for the man for over a decade, I chose to become my own woman :)
My foundation is in architecture, built through years at firms in LA and SD. Training under licensed architects and commercial interior designers gave me structure and a deep respect for process.
Today my approach is more personal and curated for my clients. It's shaped by my respect for heritage, where design is about more than the physical space. It's about care, celebrating complexity, and creating places that bring people closer together. I find inspiration in the way we gather around food, the memories that are rooted in our home and history, and the quiet dedication that's passed down through generations.
I start my projects by listening and learning. First I understand the needs and values of my clients. Then I craft a process that balances beauty, function, time, and budget.
We create a story for the space we envision.
I hold that vision tightly through to the very end.
With Love, Betty
