About

FORD & Associates is a multple award winning, full service interior design firm with nearly 20 years experience in residential, model homes, clubhouses, and winery design.

Though very grateful for all the design awards along the way, Barb Ford’s all time favorite compliment came from a residential client:

“Barb, you know how to live in a house with kids and dogs and a business – that’s why your design translates so well.”
– Jerry C.

Barb makes relationships the foundation of her business.

Our number one objective is to always make the home fit the unique life of its dwellers. When you set out to making a home fit perfectly, you get to help your client write their story, then design to that story. The process almost always uncovers a new definition for their “livable space”. Finding that heart is why I love what I do. Kids grow, people grow–and the design must be stimulating, transitional, and comfortable.

We listen acutely.

That’s what you are trained to do when you are designing a new model home project, pouring over every little fact and nuance of what that prospective customer could ever hope for or need in their living space. And then you design for their dreams. We carry that same long-practised discipline into our residential work. It’s our secret sauce!

So when we accept the design for a private residence, it comes only if we’ve made a connection with the homeowners, and they to us.
