Louis Shuster celebrates 30 years as interior designer

Online, August 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - WILTON MANORS {Fort Lauderdale}, Fla. - Louis Shuster, IIDA, president of
Shuster Design Associates, announces his 30th anniversary as a South Florida-based licensed interior designer.

Over the past three decades, Shuster has provided world-class, award-winning design services for discerning clientele in Southeast Florida, as well as in other states and Europe. And he shows no signs of letting up.

After relocating from Philadelphia in 1980, Shuster launched his design career in
Fort Lauderdale by establishing an interior design practice. That practice evolved and, in
1990, he founded Shuster Design Associates (SDA). In 2006, the firm acquired its own
building - an historic, mid-century modern, prairie-style landmark - from which a dozen
accomplished interior and architectural designers, design assistants and administrative personnel work together to serve an affluent, often high-profile client base. The entity SDA recently celebrated 20 years in business.

The firm takes a collaborative approach to design, interfacing not only with the client but also the client's architect, builder and developer from inception through construction and installation to ensure a harmonious plan, including hardscapes and landscapes.

"Our team has the depth of design experience and knowledge to take on any project, large or small, and create environments with character," Shuster says. "Our specialists are skilled in contemporary, transitional and traditional decor, and dedicated to client satisfaction from the first phone call through final completion. The relationship is as important to us as attention to the most minute detail."

Residential projects range from primary estate residences and luxury condominiums to winter retreats. Among the firm's commercial projects are sophisticated, signature restaurants, retail, salons, spas and similar spaces that convey image, mood and allure.

Shuster points out that most clients retain his firm for complete installations.
"However, there are some clients who look to us for individual rooms - foyers, living and great rooms, dining and bar areas, kitchens, bedrooms, baths and dressing rooms, home offices, media rooms/home theaters, and loggias."

In addition to his well-honed talents and expansive resources, Shuster defines himself as a businessman. He attended law school and owned and operated a retail business before practicing his true passion: design. "This is an advantage for my clients, as I have knowledge about contracts, bookkeeping and skills to negotiate with vendors. I 'watch the store" and also understand the importance of client service." Shuster adds.

Over the years Shuster's work has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Additionally, his team's installations have been featured in local, regional and national publications, and on design-focused television shows.
