We would love for you to meet some of the talented and passionate people you will work with when you choose Shrock Premier Custom Construction.
SUE AMSTUTZ
Sue Amstutz, Concept Designer
The design process most often begins with Sue. She loves working with clients, taking their dream, wish list, space requirements, budget, and inspiration photos to assist them in putting their vision into an initial concept drawing. Each client is unique therefore, each project is unique. Sue’s design philosophy is that quality design offers each person the beauty and functionality that they desire within their given parameters. “Each Shrock home is a quality built, custom piece created especially for you. My goal is to create a home which truly reflects each distinctive family and provides spaces which inspire while being wonderfully useful at the same time.” Sue has been designing both residential and commercial spaces since 2008. She has had some of her designs featured in a national publication as well as contributing to design articles. She holds a Master’s degree in Theater, and taught at the University level for over 10 years. She has two married sons, and she and her husband reside in Ashland,Ohio. …in a home designed by Sue.
CHRISTY VANCE
Christy Vance, Cabinet Designer
My interest in building cabinetry and renovating homes started when I was growing up and working with my dad. He taught me important home improvement skills and to be a creative problem solver. I have always had a desire to understand how things work, and this led me to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toledo. I enjoy planning and building home projects and I have been creating cabinetry in my own workshop since 1998. Working as a Cabinet Designer for Shrock Premier has given me the opportunity to share what I love doing and to help families make their new home into a space that is truly customized for their needs.
BECKY REYMOND
Becky Reymond, Architectural & Structural Drafting
Becky came to the Shrock Premier team in early 2016 with 20 years of experience in architectural and structural drafting for both residential and commercial projects, working directly with clients and frequently collaborating with firms designing the mechanical & electrical components of a project. During her years spent working for a structural engineer, she also gained experience in designing and incorporating prefabricated engineered wood trusses in various types of projects, saving on construction time and costs. Becky is excited to be a member of the Shrock team, both for the quality and attention to detail, and the integrity and focus on understanding clients' needs that Shrock Premier Custom Construction and the Shrock family of companies represents.
Whether working with clients and collaborating with co-workers and other professional consultants on commercial projects, or developing residential concept drawings into complete sets of construction drawings, Becky is passionate about creating spaces that meet the needs of the client in every way. Using the powerful building modeling tools in the Revit BIM software she is excited to also be able to show clients exterior and interior three dimensional views of their home or commercial building design in a way that she believes truly helps people imagine themselves living or working in the space daily.
In addition to shaping spaces that fit clients' needs, she is conscious of the need to respect budgets, and looks for ways to develop each custom plan to make efficient use of building materials and facilitate the on-site construction process. Approaching each unique challenge as an opportunity, Becky is committed to making each project a success.
Becky grew up in and has been a longtime resident of Ohio, is married with two grown daughters who also live in Ohio. A graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor's degree in psychology, Becky also pursued post-graduate studies in art at KSU, coursework in administration at Southern Illinois University, and completed coursework in architectural drafting and building construction technology at Stark State College of Technology.
BRAYTON ORCHARD
Brayton Orchard, Residential Designer & Draftsman
Brayton has a background in architecture and construction management. At Shrock, he works to translate initial sketches into construction document sets. He sees conceiving, executing, and experiencing buildings and places as analogous to the communicative process of language, especially as it finds life moving from one person to another.
He lives in central Ohio with his wife Emily, where they enjoy spending time with their families and talking about God.
NICOLE MOLLOHAN
Nicole Mollohan, Design Coordinator
Building a home inherently requires a multitude of decisions which must be made in a timely manner. Care must also be given to record these selections, acquire samples, and make certain that all elements blend perfectly together. This can be exhausting and overwhelming. However, Shrock provides an answer for design decision overload!!
Nicole Mollohan is Design Coordinator for the Shrock Family of Companies. It is her pleasure to assist clients with selections from the interior to the exterior of their dream project. She strives to make the selection process as easy, stress free, and fun as possible. Nicole even records and keeps track of everything for our clients from flooring to faucet choices, and is happy to travel to our selection locations or building sites to meet our clients to assist with anything they need.
Nicole has her Associates Degree in Applied Science of Interior Design, and has been working in the design industry since early 2018. She began her career as a Kitchen Designer, which she still loves, however, Nicole always had a passion to expand her talents into coordinating all design elements together. She feels that she has found her dream job here at Shrock Premier Custom Construction, and takes great joy in sharing in the design decision process with clients. Her real satisfaction comes while helping others to reflect their unique style and watching their ideas come to life visually into one cohesive stunning unit.
“When building, there are many selections which need to be made and it can easily become stressful when there is no one to guide you and organize everything. That is what I am here for. I will help make sure selections are made in a timely manner, be your personal designer to help you make those decisions, as well as organize everything for you so if you forget what you selected months prior, you can easily locate it to refresh your memory. My goal is to make this process as easy and fun for you as possible as the way it should be!”
KATHY HARLAN
Kathy Harlan, Design Coordinator
Home design and construction have been a big part of Kathy’s life. She grew up in a family business of home builders where she fell in love with the art of making residential spaces, from concept to finish. She later acquired an MFA in Fine Art and made a career teaching art & design at the college level. More recently, she integrated these two passions by turning her focus to interior design. Now, as part of the Shrock Design team, Kathy enjoys helping clients develop a home that is not only beautiful, but also functional and efficient. She likes to think of the home as a “livable work of art” that expresses the clients’ personal lifestyle and tastes. She knows the value of carefully listening to her clients as she assists them in achieving a design plan that accurately reflects their vision. Anyone who has experienced building a custom home knows that it consists of many design decisions. Every detail matters and everything needs to come together to form an overall sense of unity. This could be challenging for homeowners, but Kathy breaks down the process into manageable steps, informing clients of product options and providing recommendations in design considerations. She then documents the selections and assures that ordering is successfully folded into the construction schedule.
“Everyone here at Shrock works hard to make it easy and enjoyable for clients to achieve their dream home or renovation. Participating in this process is very gratifying. Each project is unique and special, just like the clients we are privileged to get to know and serve.”
