• Confidence field-measuring and reading existing conditions in older homes
• Working knowledge of cabinetry construction, countertop fabrication and tile
• Able to present a design to a homeowner clearly, and without overselling it
• Valid driver's license and able to travel to job sites across the Lehigh Valley
• NKBA certification (AKBD or CMKBD), or current eligibility to sit for it
