Appropriate (i.e., smart) design that creates Return on Environment (ROE) does not magically appear. It is not the whim of one designer's unique aesthetic. At Mary Cook Associates, it starts with proven fundamentals that have guided our process and methods for over 33 years. If you're going to design a space that works, you need to know its purpose. Visibility and function work hand-in-hand because a successful design must do more than just look great. It must live great. For interior design, scale and proportion are all about the size of things you put in a room (scale) and their relationship to the room and each other (proportion).

It doesn't matter if you're an interior architect, an interior designer, or an installation and logistics expert. If you're passionate about the power and potential of design, if you're inspired by a kinetic and competitive atmosphere, if you enjoy working hard to make a real difference in people's lives, we should talk. Send us your resume and tell us about yourself. We always have a place for exceptional people who want to do extraordinary things.
