The Construction Source

APRI L 2021 Currently, Hay Design is living up to their founding mission and working on a diverse array of projects, including multiple additions to waterfront residences, multiple lobby spaces for condos, a real estate office, a lawoffice, a chiropractor office, and a retirement home. In the future, they want to maintain that variety. “We want to create different designs, we don’t always want to do the same thing,” Cathy explains. “We look for jobs where we can work with all the elements, where we can incorporate sustainability, where we can incorporate new technology – while making sure the client’s requirements are always being met.” “Client satisfaction is definitely the most important thing,” she says. “If the client is happy, that’s how we know we’ve been successful.” Moving forward, Hay Design’s main goal is to continue achieving that satisfaction. At the same time, they want to continue adapting as a company and staying up-to-date with technology. For example, post- pandemic, they believe that automation will be playing a larger role in their work. “Voice activated devices, automated light controls – technology that will allow people to walk through spaces without touching items,” Cathy says. “That’s going to be very important in the future. We’re going to be on top of that. We’re not going to be left behind.” Lastly, Hay Design wants to continue growing. Cathy says the firmhas been getting “busier and busier,” even amidst the pandemic, and she expects that to continue. “We’re always growing, and we’re always looking for qualified interior designers to add to the team,” she says. “As long as we keep providing exceptional service, I believe the sky’s the limit.” Always growing
