Victoria Wirtz

With a Bachelor’s of Interior Design and more than 15 years of experience in the residential construction and interior design industries, Katie Jones, Riverside Homes Custom Director of Operations and Design, is there to expertly guide you through the home building journey. Her NCIDQ Certification, the industry’s recognized indicator of proficiency in interior design principles, adds an additional level of confidence for clients to have in the caliber of her work. Combining her knowledge of interior design and building construction, Katie offers the rare ability to seamlessly merge the two most important sides of home building.

During your custom-building experience, you will also work closely with Victoria Wirtz, ASID, Riverside Homes Custom Project Coordinator. Victoria holds a Bachelor’s degree focused in Interior Design, and has nearly a decade of experience in the interior design industry. Her passion on placing the utmost importance on customer-centricity is evident as she guides clients before, during, and after the home building process while ensuring they are engaged with the status of their custom home every step of the way.

At Riverside Homes Custom our unique approach to completing design selections for your build has been developed and refined through years of working with a multitude of home buyers on many different projects. This experience has given us the knowledge to create our distinctive approach to the design process. Instead of sending our buyers on a number of unguided appointments at different showrooms, we streamline our appointments into only a handful, with either our designer or one of our valued trade partners to lead the meeting and answer questions.

The feedback from these design meetings, combined with inspiration photos, Houzz and Pinterest boards, and the answers from our design questionnaire are all used to create a complete design presentation, including all the design information and pricing that will be needed to build their home. Design presentation day is an exciting time when all our buyer’s ideas come to life as we present their completed selections, along with material samples, diagrams, pricing, and of course champagne!

This concierge level design service is truly unique to Riverside Homes Custom and not only gives us the ability to provide our construction managers with all of the information that they need to flawlessly execute these designs in the field, it also allows us to provide our clients with an efficient, enjoyable, and fun design selection process for one of the most important investments of their lives – their home.
