1st March 2013 - “Erin McDonnell, who serves as President of Design Group of Philadelphia, offers clients a range of experience. The award – winning interior designer has worked on various upscale residences in the Philadelphia area. These include The Barclay, The Lanesbrough, Residences at the Ritz Carlton, 2 Liberty and many more homes throughout the Mainline and suburbs.”

Interior designer Erin McDonnell has a long resume that includes commercial and residential projects. The well-known and highly respected Philadelphia interior designer loves taking a project from the conceptualization phase through to its conclusion. The process gives her a sense of accomplishment as she starts with basic ideas, develops them into a design and turns that design into a reality.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to help someone realize their dream room, home or place of business,” noted McDonnell. “In order to be able to do that an interior designer has to understand and engage in every part of the process. It starts out with analysis and assessment and also involves a design and planning process, detailed calendar and coordination of contractors, equipment, materials and products. It can become a mess if you don’t know what you’re doing.” McDonnell added, “One thing that helps ensure that the transformation from design to the execution of the design does not become a mess is my commitment to being a part of the entire process.”

The process is extensive. After meeting with the client and assessing their space, needs and wants, McDonnell is charged with developing a design that will stay within budgetary restraints while also meeting her client’s expectations. Once a design is agreed upon, McDonnell will often work with a range of service providers, making sure each part of the design is properly executed and completed to satisfaction. There’s a lot of coordination and that takes commitment.

McDonnell said, “Design Group of Philadelphia was created with the idea that we would see every project through to satisfactory completion. The company is dedicated to that mission and to client satisfaction. We work with a lot of different people, including residential consumers, architects, builders, contractors, custom cabinetmakers and realtors, in order to achieve our goals.” The interior designer observed, “When you get to the end of a project and you see the client’s satisfaction it’s simply a great feeling.”

Design Group of Philadelphia is equally knowledgeable and proficient in the interior design of residences and commercial properties. Commercial projects include Waterbidge Court Condos, Trump Sales center at 1 Liberty, and Model at Bella Vista Lofts and residential clients include The Barclay, The Lanesbrough, Residences at the Ritz Carlton, and 2 Liberty.
