Congratulations go out to Janice Teague, CMKBD; Alicia Saso, CKBD; Samantha Schoell, CKBD; Basia Kozub, CKBD; Emily Tomek: AKBD; and Sarah Robb: AKBD.

Certified NKBA professionals provide insight into design options and technical necessities that clients wouldn't necessarily think of independently. Accredited professionals have an almost "engineer-type" mentality, which couples aesthetic judgment with practicality and safety. They understand the components 'behind the wall' that enable the space to function properly and efficiently while still maintaining a sleek and desirable design.

Newest NBKA CMKBD, CKBD, AKBD Drury Kitchen and Bath Designers

Janice Teague, CMKBD at Drury Design
For more than 15 years, Janice owned and operated two custom design/build home construction companies in the Dallas area. As a valued member of Drury Design, Janice received construction and design awards from Builder/Architect magazine. Trends, Better Homes and Gardens, and Chicago Home and Garden have all featured her kitchen and bath design projects.

Alicia Saso, CKBD at Drury Design
Alicia's experience in designing custom homes includes selecting everything from the interior/exterior materials and finishes to custom lighting and fixtures. Along with Alicia's Interior Architecture degree from Columbia College, her experience with custom homes developed her appreciation for every interior space. Still, her favorite rooms are kitchens and baths.

Samantha Schoell, CKBD at Drury Design
In her work at a premier kitchen and bath showroom at the Chicago Merchandise Mart, Sam designed luxury interior spaces ranging from contemporary to traditional home additions, remodels, and "new builds." Sam's background and education allow her to immerse herself in every aspect of each design project, from the initial drawing all the way through the final construction drawings and the final installation.

Basia Kozub, CKBD at Drury Design
Basia began her career designing at The Chicago Merchandise Mart, helping select sophisticated tile designs, materials, and finishes to floor plans, layouts, and pricing. Her work has earned the acclaim of clients, design peers, and the press. Basia's innate talent for space planning, color, and design adds an integral component to Drury Design's success.

Emily Tomek, AKBD at Drury Design
With an eye for detail and a love for design, Emily brings a fresh view of interior design to each project. Her passion for beautiful interiors is the driving force behind creating stunning kitchens and bathrooms in an array of styles. In 2020, the NKBA recognized Emily's work with a "30 under 30" award.

Sarah Robb, AKBD
Sarah began her career in the kitchen and bath industry after graduating with a bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Indiana University. Sarah's passion for design is enriched by her construction knowledge and understanding of mechanical systems.

About National Kitchen and Bath Association [NKBA]
The NKBA develops industry credential programs to recognize designers at varying levels of expertise. To earn these coveted certifications, designers must undergo a very rigorous process. Within the NKBA, professional accreditation advances through a series of levels. To reward design excellence, the NKBA holds national and regional design competitions. Drury Design counts over 30 NBKA awards, including "Best in Show."
