About
Collective Design + Build was founded in 2015 as an Interior Design Studio, catering to residential home owners & boutique commercial clientele located in the West Valley and greater Phoenix area. We quickly learned that managing our own projects was the best way to create a fully seamless & less stressful experience for our clients. It was with this realization that we became a licensed general contractor & started offering build services to our clients.
Specializing in large remodels, new builds & exterior design, we bring a new experience to the Design + Build community. We like to refer to our company as a 'true' Design + Build firm, with design coming first and foremost, as it should. Without the proper planning & design direction for your home, the unknowns are too vast. These unknowns are what cause material delays, design delays & added costs due to revisions needed to accomplish what you were hoping to accomplish from the start.
Process
Our process starts with an in depth planning session. This includes a detailed discussion with our clients to actualize the vision for their home, their plans for the future & the immediate investment ability to realize this transformation.
Honing in on our clients vision for their space is key. Incorporating this vision with the end functionality of each space to ensure a holistic design approach ensures our client's not only get a beautifully designed space, but one that feels like an extension of themselves.
Carrying this vision for your space from conception to completion, we value communication, transparency & forward thinking.
Vision
Our team works from the ground up, literally - starting by creating the perfect floor plan, choosing original finishes & then completing your home with beautiful, relaxed, and timeless pieces to style both the interior & exterior living spaces.
Bringing new ideas to classic design elements & an incorporation of natural materials is our forte. We love pushing limits - mixing different materials, styles & elements to create depth & interest while still providing a relaxed simplistic design is what we do best. We believe homes are for living in & the same is true for your design.
Working with a team to design your dream home will get personal - we will be a big part of your life, just as you will be a big part of ours. We With that being said, making sure we are a good fit for you & you for us will make for the best experience all around. If you are looking for a down-to-earth, open, transparent, caring & highly ambitious design + build firm, you have found it.
MEET THE TEAM
KAMI SCHAFFNER
Owner, GC & Principal Designer
Kami’s passion for good design & livable interiors is what led her down the path of owning her own design firm. After finishing college & beginning her first career, Kami decided to pursue her true passion - design.
Going back to college, Kami received her second degree, this time in Interior Design, and began working for several design firms here in the valley. Working with both mid & high level design firms, Kami learned the skills needed to design, manage & complete large scale projects.
After 5 years in the design industry, she set out to build her own design firm, knowing that she wanted to offer customer service that was second to none & beautiful design that was lasting & live-able. Both of these principles hold true today & are at the heart of every project she takes on. Kami is an ASID Allied Member, which gives her the resources she needs to stay current in the latest design & building practices.
