"What stands out most about Paulette is her ability to quickly build strong relationships by genuinely listening to understand the client’s needs, then offering smart, tailored solutions that build trust and rapport.
As an architect, I’m constantly presented with new products and services to trial and specify. I could always rely on Paulette to provide honest, accurate, and reliable information regarding product suitability, durability, delivery timeframes, and costs—ensuring that the options presented to clients were not only creative but also practical and well-informed.
Similarly, her move from product representation to client services equally demonstrated a client-first mindset, going beyond transactional interactions to truly understand and support her client’s long-term needs.
Paulette has a deep understanding of the architecture and design industry as well as a genuine commitment to fostering strong and lasting client relationships and collaborations.
Paulette is respectful, dependable, and a pleasure to work with. She brings positivity and professionalism to every interaction, which makes her a trusted and valued member of any team or network."
