Meet the Total Habitat Team!

At Total Habitat, our dedicated team members are as varied as the projects we take on! Because we never know just what our next design adventure will be, we look for enthusiastic team members with multifaceted interests, and insatiable thirsts for knowledge! We employ a tight knit team of individuals who can be called upon as needed for particular projects (see our crew below). Meet Total Habitat's team members:
