As Designer, Cassie drafts her own plans and prepares all Design details for her clients.
Cassie began her design career working on new custom homes, where her job focused more on structural design and hard finishes. Wanting more, she learned Innovative Design Build offered turnkey renovations to clients, and knew she had to be a part of the team. Cassie has always been motivated by the whole-picture of a renovation and is glad she has found a company where she can see her vision come to life. She connects most with Innovative's Core Value, Consideration. Whether it be client-facing or with the team, she tries to remind herself that consideration is the first step to building connections and allowing moments to fall where they may. Not surprisingly, her professional superpower is the ability to connect with and understand people.
When not at work, you can find Cassie being active outdoors. Hiking, days at the lake or beach and snowboarding are her favorite pastimes.
From a young age, Chris would help his dad around the house, including building entire home additions from start to finish!

If there are questions, concerns, or issues to be handled, he will always be one call away. Chris most connects with Innovative's Core Value of "Consideration." In both his personal life and professional life, he is always conscious of other people, what they need and how they are feeling.
Upon graduating from St. Lawrence University with a degree in history and education, Clark moved south to Atlanta. He continued his career in construction working for a company that specialized in finishing and restoration. After working in this genre of construction for four years, Clark decided to start his own business, specializing in renovation and restoration. In 2000, he founded Innovative Construction. When the company expanded to both Design and Build in 2021, Innovative Construction became Innovative Design Build.
"I founded this company in 2000 because I love remodeling and I love to make people happy. As the company has grown, we have remained focused on delivering the projects of our clients' dreams on time and on budget," he says. "We use a predictable, streamlined, systematic process that delivers consistent, high-quality results. I promise we will do everything possible to make you a happy client for life."
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Clark later moved with his family to Hingham, Massachusetts.

He would prefer for all parties involved to over communicate, and not leave space for errors. Haylan strives to be a perfectionist, and he treats clients' homes as if they were his own. Haylan knew Innovative was right for him when he saw how the company valued family culture. "While work is important, family is everything," he says.
