Education. Experience. Expertise.
Angela Prater Design has over 30 years’ experience designing thoughtful commercial and residential interiors. We provide space planning and full-service design for workplaces, healthcare, hospitality, and fine residential projects for our clients. We are known for our exceptional design and meticulous attention to detail. We do not have a signature style — we are guided by the inspiration we get from our client’s vision, goals, preferences, needs, and architectural context.
Angela Prater graduated from the University of Oregon in Interior Architecture, and is NCIDQ certified, having passed the rigorous 3-day commercial interiors exam from the Council for Interior Design Qualifications. We design your entire project from beginning to end, including design concept, space planning, design development, construction documents, construction administration, and through the client’s move-in process.
Our Mission
We strive to create highly functional, exceptional, and thoughtful interior environments for our clients, so that all occupants have the most positive experience working or residing within the spaces. We listen to our client’s wishes and needs, and design a space that feels naturally “theirs”. When construction is complete, and our clients move into their new home or business, we want them to feel grateful we were on their team.
“Angela was integral to the design, completion and success of my business when I chose to relocate and was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process of relocating my practice. She guided me through the space planning phase, drew up the plans, and procured the products. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and took the time to educate me about the options that fit my budget. Her ability to know which colors, finishes, and designs work together is truly a gift. She worked seamlessly with my contractor and was very aware of the budget we had set. I get complimented on the appearance of my office regularly and am very thankful for Angela's efforts. I recommend Angela without hesitation for any design needs you may have!" — Dr. Todd Hartwig, Marcum Chiropractic
Process
We truly listen to our client’s needs and goals, assess their current program and site issues, plan for future growth, while considering any architectural or site limitations. We honor our client’s budgetary constraints, and then strive to produce an exceptional, inspiring design within those limits. We guide our clients through the entire design process, meeting at important points every step of the way to discuss and review all design elements.
After we complete the permit and construction drawings, we assist our clients through the bidding process to select the most qualified contractor for their project. Throughout construction, we work seamlessly with the general contractor to address any site issues that may arise, for a smooth construction process.
Upon construction completion, we oversee the furniture and art installation for our clients, as needed. Our clients can be assured that we will be on their side, guiding them throughout the entire design and construction process, so they achieve a beautiful new home or business.
“Angela designed a law office for us. We have lived in the space now for almost 5 years. Rarely have I hired someone to do a project which turned out as well as Angela’s design has for us. I recommend her for any design project she is seeking to do as she was a great listener and gave us a design which perfectly suited us then, and has grown with our needs.” — Dennis Black, Partner at Black, Chapman, Webber, & Stevens Law
