  • Balance Design Mission Statement
    Have you ever tried to write a mission statement?  It is actually harder than it may seem.  On a 10 hour road trip with the family to Pennsylvania, my husband and I worked on one.  I am actually pleased with it, and would like to roll it out for 2010 (7 years after the opening of Balance Design).
    The process was interesting to come up with a concise idea of the purpose of Balance Design.  We brainstormed all of the things we thought Balance Design strives for.  These are a few of the brainstorming ideas that I wrote in my journal while Ed drove:
    • help families live better
    • provide good design
    • budget oriented
    • local and sustainable products and services
    • sensible and comfortable
    • create beauty and order
    • loving the way you live in your home
    • creating a personal space
    • enduring design that won't look dated
    Mission Statement:  Balance Design creates personal, liveable, and enduring spaces for families to grow and thrive.  Balance Design supports quality local craftspeople and artists.  We focus on sustainable methods, products and  ultimately sustainable client budgets.
