Diane Burkhardt ~ Licensed Designer / Artist

My design experience is extensive and there are very few limitations....

After receiving a degree of Interior Design, I have worked over the past 20 years designing homes, showrooms and senior living facilities. I also worked with architects for several years on various educational, commercial and retail projects opening the gates to a vast knowledge of codes, ADA (American Disabilities Act) and the coordination of CAD drawings and scheduling.

Before my life with Interior Design, Art was my true passion and I had received a degree in Applied Arts.... over the years I could never give up the creative side, even though it was an institution which is difficult to make a living....I finally realized that my design and artistic skills are so closely related that it would be beneficial to bring the two together.

Therefore, I broke away from the corporate world and devised Artisan Interior Designs that would offer interior design with an artistic craft.
