 I can answer specific design / layout questions regarding decorative ceramic tiles, encaustic tiles, hand-painted tiles, stone, glass, porcelains, mosaics, custom installations. Although I do know about installation techniques, I prefer to leave these questions for licenced contractors to answer. My forte is designing installations, i.e. Entire bathrooms, entry foyers, fireplaces, kitchen backslashes and fountains. Also patterned floors throughout the interior and exteriors of residential and some commercial projects.
