Ellen Furtado – Designer/Tech

Ellen has been in the design industry for over 20 years and has specialized in kitchen & bath design for the past 12. She began her career in the Graphic Design field and worked as a Senior Graphic Designer for 12 years where she created visual concepts and specialized in print projects and color correction.

She has a lifelong creative background being involved with the arts from an early age with illustration and painting. She graduated from the New England School of Art and Design where she studied Digital Animation and Graphic Design and has also completed Interior Design courses at Rhode Island School of Art & Design.

Ellen likes to combine timeless and traditional elements to make her clients vision a reality while helping them create their own unique spaces. She has done total project management for clients and truly enjoys being involved in the entire design process from the initial space planning and material selections to the final installation phase.

Being involved in the entire renovation process from start to finish is fulfilling when you see the project come full circle. Attention to detail makes the difference when pulling together all of the elements that go into designing a space that’s not only aesthetically pleasing, but will also suit them for years to come. It’s important to create a personalized space that not only focuses on form and function but also beauty. I like to create a space with a defined balance of color, texture, structure and a little bit of bling!”

A lifelong resident of Taunton, Ellen enjoys spending time with her family and cats. She also loves spinning and working out, cooking and gardening in her free time. Ellen has a love for classic/muscle cars, car racing and the New England Patriots!

Such great service…

I wanted to thank you for such great service. In today's age of subpar customer service, you have far exceeded our expectations. Dean has been amazing -- he is always so responsive and was even able to help me out with the trash bin in my kitchen. I truly appreciate all of your hard work.

Exceeded all of my wishes

"I just wanted to take the time to let you know how pleased I am with my new kitchen. Jacqueline did an amazing job in her design and it shows! She took so much pressure off of me by making the process so smooth and exceeded all of my wishes. Her tastes and styles were everything I wanted and I wasn't even sure exactly what i wanted or how to fill this blank space. This kitchen is the main focal point of the house and when someone walks in the first thing they say is 'WOW!! I love it!!' I can't wait until I move in and fully enjoy all that it has to offer...A+ service from start to finish I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much!!"
