“I am three things in one: designer, general contractor and project manager. Because of my 25 years of experience I am able to easily identify creative design solutions for an existing space in a home so it better functions and solves the problems the space causes for the homeowner.”

Marlene Macdonald Ketchen

Designer, General Contractor, Project Manager

“I’ve always had a passion for design and functionality. As a South Shore native, I wanted to branch out from the beaches and lighthouses after high school. So, I made the move to Lexington, Kentucky, where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Architecture from The University of Kentucky. There, I was able to gain experience in both abstract and practical design. I love problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to design."
