Design Development

Compiling client specific program information, preferred floor plans and the most desirable aesthetic to create a comprehensive design that speaks to the users of the space in a cohesive manner is our goal.  We achieve this goal through our detail oriented approach & collaboration with other design professionals (architects, engineers & consultants) in the design development process. We communicate comprehensively with general & sub-contractors in executing a project to achieve the most valuable outcome in our client’s ultimate interest.

CONSTRUCTION
DOCUMENTS

Development of the construction documents is based upon the final design approved by the client and includes dimensioned floor and ceiling plans, finishes schedules and specifications, millwork elevations, sections & details, and finishes assignment drawings.   They are created in coordination with other design professionals such as architects & engineers, and serve as a vital communication tool for new construction or renovation to the existing space.

FURNITURE SPECIFICATIONS

Our approach to furniture specification is a budget conscious and performance-based selection process which focuses on the comprehensive design outcome rather than the appeal of a singular item.  Creativity, expertise and resourcefulness are our strengths in presenting options to the owner for final selection and specification.

SIGNAGE DESIGN, PLANNING & PROCUREMENT

Our signage services are turn-key, from planning through conceptual design and installation, enhancing the overall design aesthetic while meeting a functional need.  We provide interior as well as exterior architectural interior signage solutions that appropriately and professionally communicate the intended message & brand aesthetic.  Dimensional letters, carved signs, way-finding elements and Braille plaques are just a few of the sign types we have successfully designed, procured and installed for our clients.

ARTWORK & ACCESSORY
DESIGN, PLANNING &
PROCUREMENT

Visual communication of a design enhances the sentiment, style or mood sought for the space.  Our thoughtfully developed or procured art and accessory items uniquely arranged within a space create a unified composition of architecture, design and emotion about the space.

CONSTRUCTION
ADMINISTRATION

Accurate finish & construction details embody the character of an interior space.  The Deb Stone Interiors team prides itself in following through with the project through conclusion by reviewing & responding to shop drawings, attending construction meetings, communicating with trades representatives, overseeing finishes installations and reviewing the project completion by producing a punch list of open items.

STAGING &
MERCHANDISING

In the retail arena, an understanding of merchandise arrangement, product emphasis / presentation/ staging, and customer circulation through a space is critical toward maximizing sales.   We have been successful with creating an effective display plan and directing product placement in an aesthetically appealing manner with the intention of promoting purchases.

IMAGE BRANDING

Whether you have an established brand that you would like to update, or need to establish a new brand identity, we are accomplished with developing logo designs which speak to your intended audience in an eye-catching and distinctive fashion.  We have experience with designing marketing resources, banners, and presentation materials consistent with your image brand.

PRESENTATIONS

While we are accustomed to artfully communicating interior design concepts and finishes through design boards, 3-D renderings, and free-hand sketches, we have also demonstrated proficiency in supporting the community through leading educational workshops.  Our presentations are structured and dynamic, and may be casual or formal where we combine our visual representation of our design with a verbal validation of the concept.

DEB STONE

As a practitioner of interior Design since 1999, Deb Stone brings a diverse and unique background to the industry. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Bloomsburg University Of Pennsylvania and her Master of Arts degree in Public Administration from Marywood University. She had worked as a nursing home administrator for privately owned facilities before returning to Marywood to pursue a new career in interior design.

With her diverse educational background and management experience, she brings a passion for excellence to her career as a Commercial Interior Designer. She believes that the human response to the physical environment is critical to physical and emotional wellness, a positive attitude and ultimately to productivity in the work environment and it should not be ignored.

As a commercial designer she has had the opportunity to impact design in the health care sector and has made significant penetration into the corporate, retail and hospitality markets through her solid team approach to developing design concepts.

“Perception is reality” is a phrase she became familiar with hearing in her role as administrator - and she finds this to be especially true in contract design. An interior must meet a multitude of perceptual needs - it has to not only appeal to, but be functional for the business owner and their employees - as well as their clients and visitors. It is a challenge to translate a corporate identity to its consumer’s expectations, but by understanding and respecting the owner's knowledge of their product, service, or brand, an environment can be developed to ensure that the translation is seamless and obvious.

JANINE VERDETTO

"I have been interested in design and how it affects us for as long as I can remember. This fascination and attention to detail led me to a great opportunity that I was fortunate to take in 2005 with Deb Stone Interiors. It is more than just what I do.  I take great pride and responsibility in taking the essence of a space, the needs and desires of its occupants, along with the principals of design, and creating an environment that reflects you … your purpose … your heart and soul."

TARA WEAVER

Tara studied design at Marywood University where she earned a Bachelors of Science and ultimately graduated with a Master’s degree in Interior and Architectural Design.  Tara has worked with several architectural firms, commercial kitchen designers, and interior designers throughout the area over the past years. As a designer, Tara’s goal is to create a space and environment that the client envisioned without them realizing that it was actually their vision to begin with.

She contends that design is all about the details - independently important - but when combined they create a cohesive and stunning statement. Tara’s keen eye for style and attention to details can be seen in many of DSI  premier projects.

Mandy maintains a broad design history - having worked with a number of national architects, engineers and developers - and has worked independently - on numerous projects across the country.

BRIANNE CONWAY

Brianne graduated from Marywood University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture and Design and a minor in photography. She enjoys using the experiences she has in both fields to enhance her practice of the other. “Considering an environment from both a photographic and design perspective has lead to me to a stronger appreciation for and understanding of composition, clean lines, strong geometry, textures, lighting, and consistency.”

Before starting with Deb Stone Interiors, Brianne worked in the Healthcare branch of interior design. “It can be a challenge to create welcoming or soothing designs in healthcare where the standards are strict and often limiting, but in a potentially alarming environment like a hospital, good design that makes the user feel safe and calm is crucial. I love taking on that challenge.”

ERIN CAMPBELL

After receiving an Accounting degree from Penn State University, Erin  was driven to follow her true passion.  She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree - a five year program - from Marywood College.  Her love of aesthetics and natural problem solving abilities drew her to a solid career in kitchen design. Erin quickly developed a keen sense of understanding client needs and honed her skill of translating and communicating it to contractors for successful results. Through her work with a professional photographer, Erin broadened and fine-tuned her knowledge of color, lighting, and overall composition.  

She understands that, while a home is the most important space in an individual's life, most people will spend the majority of their waking hours in spaces where they work, transact business, and enjoy being entertained. Erin’s experience and overall design sense enhance many of the more detailed DSI projects.
