Pippin Home Designs hit a whole new level of awesomeness when Jenny's husband, Wes Stearns, officially joined the crew in 2014. Wes brings his A-game with skills in CADD, 3-D CADD, and a unique perspective as a pro photographer and artist. In addition, his 28 years of experience working in the medical field brings a strong awareness of how important being healthy is to living fully, and he understands the necessity for an accessible home. We all love how he brings his expertise to the table in providing design suggestions and he makes the whole process even more collaborative. |
