What do you love most about your job?

I love being part of a company that truly cares about our clients and staff. Joe and Nicole Ashton have such integrity and honor when it comes to Ashton Pools by Design, clientele immediately recognize APD is unique. Wearing a few "hats" at APD, I am fortunate enough to work alongside Nicole and witness the creative design process from inception to completion. The time and energy Nicole invests into each and every client, combined with her knowledge and expertise, not only inspires me, but it drives me to make certain customers feel special, understood and valued.

What do you love most about living at the beach?

My favorite part about living so close to the beach is our weekly family beach trips in the summer. There is no greater joy than playing in the ocean water with my family. Being so close to the beach allows my family to enjoy the outdoors, be active and appreciate nature.

What is your favorite part of the Ashton Pools by Design process?

I would say my favorite part of the APD design process is the selection of design materials. Observing various clients visit the design center, excited to select and personalize their pool and outdoor living area, brings such good energy- it's contagious! Plus, the design selections occur in the beginning stages of the project; the first steps clients complete after signing the contract, so naturally, they tend to be eager and excited. The knowledge and expertise of the entire APD team is unparalleled. From the initial design phase, through execution, to the finished project, our team has the skills and accreditation not easily found elsewhere. When I see how excited clients are with the finished project, or when one of our outdoor lifestyle designs wins an award, my job at APD becomes rewarding, being a part of such excellence.
