I.S. Pays It Forward

Hiring a designer to create the perfect place for their children is often a luxury afforded only by the wealthy. While the Bay Area continues to maintain an economy that can support such an industry, one local business owner and mother decided it was time to help those who couldn’t afford her services. “Connecting the talented design team at IS Design with Shelter Network, a non-profit benefiting homeless families, was a perfect pairing,” said M.F. Chapman, CEO. IS Design partnered with Shelter Networks to “pay it forward” by donating their time, supplies, and design skills to the restoration of the Redwood City Shelter Network Family House. The transitional housing families benefited from a designer’s touch in the teen and children’s areas. Read more on this powerful story in our news section.
