Testimonials
I have to say Catherine is definitely in the top five percent of people I’ve ever worked with.
— Josh Wiener, Owner and President, Silverlining InteriorsI simply adored working with this brilliant woman. Cate made the mess that I inherited into a systematic plan that lead to success.
— L. Modell, Real Estate InvestorCate’s got the total package: experience, knowledge, skills, and a non-threatening manner. She helped me keep everything rolling along. We came in on budget and on time and a big reason why is her amazing people skills.
— Cynthia Lindberg, Senior Partner, Director of Design & Construction – North America, Ogilvey & Mather AdvertisingCate was always three steps ahead of me and of all her clients. I’d call her Radar O’Reilly if I could—she just knew, instinctively, what the owner was looking for. Also, she never let anything sit. She always jumped on assignments immediately.
— J. Thomann, VP and General Manager, Turner ConstructionCate has cool intelligence, good taste, and a calm demeanor. She was a mind saver during our extensive kitchen renovation.
— Ellen B. Gibbs, Real Estate OwnerI would also say that Cate’s tough. And I mean that in the best possible way. When she needed to be forceful she was forceful. She always read the mood of the project and the process and aligned the participants appropriately.
— Lee Weintraub, Founding Partner, Weintraub Diaz Landscape ArchitectureI don’t have enough good things to say about Catherine. She is efficient, smart, hardworking, super honest—just a terrific person. She knows construction. She understands design. She has a very professional approach—learns quickly, adapts to the needs to the job, tunes in to the sensitivities of clients, maintains good rapport.
— J. Wiener, Owner and President, Silverlining InteriorsIf Cate has the time, consider yourself blessed. I feel very fortunate that I was able to add Cate to my team.
— Leslie Modell, Real Estate InvestorWhat’s so special about Cate is that in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the building process and skillful in her attention to project details, she’s got really good people skills. She knows how to lead and manage and collaborate.
— C. Lindberg, Senior Partner, Director of Design & Construction – North America, Ogilvey & Mather AdvertisingCate was our project manager on a very complicated project. Cate was responsible for ensuring that everybody steered in the same direction. I was one of two landscape architects involved and Cate helped make what could have been a very rocky relationship between myself and my counterpart into a smooth collaboration.
— L. Weintraub, Founding Partner, Weintraub Diaz Landscape ArchitectureI’m so mad she’s working for herself now and not for me anymore!
