Introduction: I am detail oriented and focus on providing quality services to my clients. I walk side by side with them and guide them through the entire process from their perspective. No matter what I do, excellence is my goal. Repeatedly, clients got excited by the design presented in the initial meeting and approved it immediately. I was told by many general contractors and other architects that my drawings were the most complete set they have ever seen. 99% of my projects got the permit without any city comments, which allowed the construction start date to come sooner. When we did budgeting and cost estimate review, I caught items that could reduce the pricing significantly that my clients and general contractors didn't realize it. On top of that, I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese. Finding creative solutions is my passion. I seek out the best for my clients to enhance the success of their business and achieve their visions for their customers and the feel of the space.

“Gloria Chien, Principal of VIS Designs, is a highly skilled, detail oriented Architect and Interior Designer. Having the dual skills of architecture and design set Gloria apart to provide broad wisdom, creativity and direction. She helped us efficiently use our time and money. Gloria quickly responded to our questions and intently embraced our ideas. She ultimately provided the best solution for our allotted space. We enjoyed her calm and kind demeanor. She was easily accessible and kept us abreast of her progress with drawings, permitting etc. We highly recommend her as a person of integrity and professionalism as both Architect and Interior Designer."

It was a pleasure working with Gloria Chien, the principal of VIS Designs. Gloria is extremely professional in her design and presentation. I feel that she puts her whole heart into the project, and the result definitely shows! Throughout the process, she gave helpful input, monitor every details to prevent any future problems. Not only she understood the vision of the project, but she also delivered quality and practical solutions above and beyond what was asked. Her detail orientated approach is one of the key elements to the success of the project. We would love to work with Gloria and VIS Designs again, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the future! TC Wu, WPI Real Estate Property Management and Sales

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Overall design fees depend on the complexity of the work, square footage and permit involvement which I will evaluate at the initial client meeting. Some projects are hourly some and are lump sum. I offer Thumbtack client discounts.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide a free initial meeting to evaluate the space and learn about my clients' needs, goals, budget and timeline. From there, I can provide a customized proposal according to my clients' overall budget for review. Usually, my services include options of space planning, interior space and featured element design, finish material selection, lighting design, budget control/value engineering and furniture selection if desired.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I obtained a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Washington State University. 10 years into my commercial architecture career, I completed a three year training at Bellevue College Interior Design and Fine Art Programs. Right now, I stay on top of my clients and maintain the most current professional knowledge for commercial interior architecture by attending continuing education courses provided by AIA, GBCI, seminars and conferences.
