Mrs. McElhaney is an Interior Designer with a passion for design and a broad range of design skills from design development, production, and documentation to the presentation and installation administration aspects of the design and construction process. Before coming to HVScompass, she worked as an associate at a residential and commercial design firm, managing all aspects of several commercial and residential renovation projects. In this capacity, she consulted with clients, drafted plans and sketches of the design throughout the projects, selected furnishings and finishes, prepared budget proposals, and coordinated construction and final furniture installations.
Mrs. McElhaney ’s creative skills in selecting finishes and furniture are balanced by her experience in working with CAD design and rendering programs, including AutoCAD 14 and 2000, CAD Plus, Fm:Space 5.2, and many others. Her extensive knowledge of design software has enabled her to train new designers on how to use these programs to create and complete their designs.
