Founder & Principal of The Design Coach, LLC: Philip Sassano
Artist, Contractor, and Design/Build Professional.
Celebrating our 25th year as an innovative and trusted industry partner in 2023, our overarching philosophy remains the same. We design for people, not for projects. As a multi-disciplinary interior design, creative contracting, and project management firm, we focus on two key elements in our overall professional approach: The client/creative relationship, and the resources required to maintain it and enhance it. Our dedicated team has a collective passion for working closely with each client to deliver the ideas, inspiration, and information to both coach and create personal lifestyle outcomes from concept to completion. Our experience as artists, contractors, and design professionals,
allows our firm a one-of-kind perspective, when crafting and curating both residential and commercial environments. Regardless of industry trends, it is our belief that the only style that matters is the one you can call your own. An expression that can be found in the diversity of our portfolio, shared enthusiasm for identifying the functional lifestyle rhythm of every client, and showcasing of their original visual voice.
