>> Hi. I'm Mia Robb and I'm cofounder of Dual Natures Interior Design. Well, we are interior designers. We focus a lot on commercial and residential places. And we also do custom furniture, which is something that I head up. I work in a woodshop, actually on NexFab Studios. It's on Washington Street. And, yeah, it's been really cool. I right out of college started working there. And I learned a lot about -- mostly woodworking is my forte, but I have a little dabbling in welding. So right now I'm working on a really big shelving unit for a restaurant that we're designing in Old City. It's going to be almost like a replacement for a wall. So it's going to be pretty awesome. And a lot of times we help people between their vision and the implementation stage. Sometimes I'll have a client who is like I have no idea and I don't care and that's fine too. But a lot of times they've seen things and they are like I really want this feel or whatever. And then we can take them the rest of the way to get to where they want to go. So we do a walk through and then we'll ask people like what do you want your place to feel like? We're very into [inaudible] centered interior design, trying to make your spaces somewhere that you want to come home to. We do the whole walk-through and then we'll go back and we'll make a proposal. Then we'll send them over the proposal. They'll approve what they like. And then mostly they'll tell us what they want different. And then we take a couple of drafts and then kind of start putting it into motion. Like with our restaurant, we did the proposal and then I immediately got into the woodshop and started making the planters and the shelves. Saige is my partner. And she does a lot of the ordering of seatings, tables, decor, things of that nature.
