The Functional Kitchen: Maximizing Space & Style

Presented by Brenda Bryan, Vice President of Blackdog Builders, Inc.

This seminar offers practical solutions and expert design insights for creating a kitchen that is both highly efficient and beautiful, no matter its size. Discover how to declutter, organize, and optimize every inch of your space, transforming a cluttered, chaotic kitchen into a streamlined, stylish hub for cooking, dining, and gathering.


Brenda Bryan, Vice President of Blackdog Builders, Inc., grew up in a house that was constantly being changed, so she truly has remodeling in her blood (as well as some plaster dust in her hair). She has her B.A. from the University of Vermont, and, after a brief stint in advertising, pursued an education in design. In 1992, Brenda started working for a kitchen design firm and in 1995, she designed and opened her first kitchen and bath showroom. In 1996, she earned her Certified Kitchen Designer accreditation. She has worked with many, many clients over the past 30 years, creating beautiful and highly functional kitchens and baths.
