Design Approach
First we ask lots of questions. What is the purpose of the space, what is the message? What do you want people to do and feel here? We've developed a process that completely hinges on our ability to listen. We'd find it pretty hard to meet your business needs if we didn't understand your business. Afterall, it IS about you!
Valued Experience
Qualifications and experience matter. Jill's Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design from Indiana State and NCIDQ certification combined with more than 35 years of experience designing millions of square feet make a difference. Jill Duzan has a proven track record of successful design and a long client list. Yet there is always a thrill in finding a way to do something new, something that seems impossible. At Jill Duzan, we delight in solving a creative puzzle by applying our creativity, expertise and drawing on experience to get us there on time and on budget.

Jill's business approach to design balances cost, function and aesthetic to determine the appropriate investment to achieve the goals. One client saw $53,000 savings solely from re-designed work station configurations. "Our sales performance has increased since we moved to our new headquarters" - Interactive Intelligence .
