opportunity.
PATTI MARTINEAU, OWNER
Patti’s path to kitchen and bath design wasn’t conventional, but that’s exactly what sets her apart. With a background in both the medical and legal fields, she brings attention to detail, organization, and problem-solving to every project.
She earned her degree in Interior Design from St. Louis Community College, along with a specialized Certificate in Kitchen and Bath Design.
Her career took a new direction when she joined a local kitchen and bath firm while remodeling her own kitchen. Five years later, she launched Patricia Marie Designs, which has since evolved into Perspective Cabinetry & Design.
As a designer, Patti approaches every project with a simple yet powerful commitment: listen carefully, design thoughtfully, and execute thoroughly. She especially enjoys the challenge of space planning and takes great pride in creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
As a business owner, Patti is most proud of the team and family-oriented culture that have become the foundation of Perspective. More than a design firm, Perspective is a family helping other families create spaces where memories are made.
When she’s not at the showroom, you’ll likely find Patti enjoying the sunshine and sugar-white beaches of Destin with her family.
