Meet Noah Hutchison, the co-founder of Hutch Design and Build who's transforming the home improvement experience in Northern Colorado. Noah and his wife Alli have created something special—a comprehensive approach where design, construction, and now retail furnishings all live harmoniously under one brand.
What began as side projects and house flips seven years ago has evolved into a full-service firm that guides clients from initial concept through construction completion. The couple's latest venture, Hutch Home Co. in Old Town Fort Collins, extends their design expertise into retail, offering everything from affordable accessories to custom furniture pieces. This integration addresses a common frustration Noah has witnessed: beautiful architectural plans that prove financially impossible to execute. By bringing all services together, Hutch ensures designs align with budgets from the start.
Noah speaks candidly about industry misconceptions, particularly the stereotype of untrustworthy contractors. He emphasizes that Northern Colorado hosts several reputable firms (his included) and encourages potential clients to interview multiple companies before making decisions. The ideal Hutch client? Busy professionals seeking experts who can shoulder project stress while delivering customized results. Noah's definition of "custom" is refreshingly accessible: "Custom doesn't mean expensive—it just means unique to you." This philosophy extends to their specialized work with families and ADA-compliant designs, recently breaking ground on a home for a family with a child who uses a wheelchair. Behind this business approach lies Noah's own story of growing up in a tiny Georgia town with limited opportunities, an experience that fueled his entrepreneurial drive and commitment to creating possibility for others.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Nick George.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast.
Are you in need of adesign-savvy, heart-led
design-and-build duo whotransform homes and lives
through home furnishings,intentional spaces and curated
style?
Well, now they have a retailfacility, and one might be
closer than you think.
Today I have the pleasure ofintroducing your good neighbor,
(00:32):
noah Hutchinson, with HutchDesign and Build.
Noah, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's going great Been a great day and excited to get
to share a little bit of timewith you and these folks
listening.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We're excited to learn all about you and your
business.
Tell us about your company.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, so my wife and I own Hutch Design Build.
That's our primary focus.
It is a residential design firmand construction firm here in
Fort Collins and, yeah, we lovewhat we do.
Get to serve people and maketheir home builds or additions
or remodels come true.
(01:09):
So kind of from concept tocompletion, from.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I have an idea.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I'm not sure what I'm going to do and what I can
afford and I'm not good at thisdesign thing and planning all
their space out, figuring outhow much it costs, targeting
budgets that they have and thenleading it all the way from that
concept to permitting it,completing it, building it and
then, as you mentioned earlier,the fun thing we've had the
(01:34):
opportunity to do in the lasteight months is launch our
retail store in Old Town, whichis called Hutch Home Co.
And we found ourselves basicallydesigning a lot of spaces Maybe
it's that kitchen area and youwanted those bar stools that fit
, as well as that perfect diningroom table and those couches
(01:55):
and that area needing to bestyled out and you just didn't
know what you were going to doand want to find yourself
shopping.
So we sourced a lot of thoseitems and thought what would it
look like if we opened a retailfurniture and home goods store
as well, so that the whole brandcan really do everything,
really from beginning to end?
So we did that at the beginningof December and it's been a fun
(02:17):
journey.
Why not own another businessand serve our people well?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right Noah, how did you get into the business?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, you know, I tell people that I always, for
me, have been interested inbusiness.
I always did business stuff onthe side.
I worked in the nonprofit worldfor over a decade
professionally, but always doingbusiness ventures on the side.
My wife was always doinginterior design and so about.
So seven years ago is when wereally jumped in the deep end
after I'd finished my master'sin business and we said, let's,
(02:54):
let's jump into a firm togetherand work this thing out.
Up until then we'd really doneflips on the side, we've done
investment properties, we'vedone our own home, we've done
friends homes.
So, yeah, about seven years agowe decided, hey, let's go all
in and so started at a firm innorthern Colorado that's no
longer around and theneventually decided, hey, we want
(03:17):
to take this and make it moreour own, and so started Hutch
Design Build.
And here we are today.
So it's always been a passion,though, just learning how to
really.
It comes back for us to servingpeople.
Well, the home's such a sacredplace for folks.
It's where so much happens andunfortunately, there is a lot of
(03:39):
opportunity for things to gowrong and we try to prevent
those things and allow people'sinvestments to really get them
what they want and serve theirfamily and friends and neighbors
well in what gets produced.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What are some myths or misconceptions in your
industry?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, totally.
I think there's a lot aroundthe construction front.
I think that everybody knowssomeone at least who has a story
of being ripped off by acontractor or a contractor being
slow.
Maybe they were good, but theytook forever.
What was supposed to be fourmonths was 14 months and so you
(04:17):
know, I'd say the myth is thatthere's several great firms here
in northern Colorado.
I tell people that at the end ofthe day, like, check us out,
check a couple other places outthere's some great, trusted
folks here.
I know the owners of the otherbusinesses.
They're integrous, they do greatwork and really when people are
trying to choose who's going towork on their home with them,
(04:39):
it's more of a matter of for atleast us in the I would say,
more limelight, I would say ourtrusted companies, the ones
winning awards against oneanother here in Northern
Colorado.
It's one of those things of likeyou know you're going to work
with some kind of team, somekind of company.
Hopefully they're going to comealongside you and be a great
partner in this what might bethe largest investment you ever
(05:02):
make and really interview thosepeople, figure out what it is
that makes them tick, what it'sgoing to be like to work with
them.
Call one of the referrals andout of the handful of us that
are really great, and then, Ithink, break the myth of the
scariness of construction,figure out what process really
is a good process for you, whatteam member is a good team
(05:23):
member?
And so, yeah, the myth is thatyou can't trust contractors, and
I would say there's multiple ofus trying to break that mold
and show hey, there'strustworthy people out here.
So come, find someone that fitsfor you and be a part of
something that's reallyimportant to impacting your life
, and that is changing your homeand making it fit for you.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Who are your target customers, from people that
don't think they can afford thistype of thing all the way up to
the elite homes of Colorado?
Who are your target customerstoday and how are you attracting
them now?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, you know, I would say that for us, we found
that at least one prettydemanding professional like a
professional a couple or afamily who, one of them at least
, has a pretty demanding uh job.
They want someone to come andprovide this great service to
(06:23):
them and be able to trust themand not have to think a lot
about carry the stress.
Let us put that stress on ourshoulders, from our designers to
our construction team, tomyself doing the estimating.
That's the time.
Let us carry it on theirshoulders so that they know, hey
(06:44):
, we can hit a budget, we canhit a timeline, we can provide
an amazing product.
That's like you want.
So I'd say target customers andgood customers are ones that at
least one of them are a workingprofessional, busy and just
trying to find someone who theycan trust and get it done right.
I found that there's a lot offolks who both clients happen to
be working and in that case wefind that those are good fits
(07:05):
because they're just double thebusy and really want someone who
can come there, be there in themorning, make things happen, be
there and wrap up at the end ofthe day, not leave their house
a mess and do what they saidthey're going to do, because
they don't have time to handhold.
You know you mentioned the eliteand I found that one of the
categories of folks that wehaven't been the best customer
(07:25):
for is someone who's just tryingto find another person, another
, you know we're just in thatbox of.
They got a nanny, they got adriver, they got somebody who
does their groceries, someonewho does their cleaning, they
got the pool boy.
They got all of this.
Uh, because in a lot of way Ithink we really tap into the
human element of understandingpeople and what their needs are.
(07:47):
We do that throughquestionnaires, through a lot of
research of the clients, so wecan try to get in their head and
really produce something thatthey want and that doesn't have
to be.
I tell people, everything we dois custom, and custom doesn't
mean expensive.
Custom just means unique to you.
So we can provide you a, youknow, a bathroom that has a lot
(08:10):
of mid-range nice products thataren't, that are customized to
you, but they're not like themost expensive thing in the
whole world.
So all that is to say, yeah, Ifind that those are great
clients for us.
For my wife and I, we have threekids 14, 12, and eight and I
find that we really enjoyserving families because we
(08:32):
understand that stage so well.
But we've done a number of ADAthings because with our interior
designers we have four on staff.
It's provided us an outlet toreally be knowledgeable.
So we're serving a family rightnow that we break ground next
month on their home.
They have a child in awheelchair, full-time, and those
(08:52):
are super fun projects wherewe're able to use our knowledge
and creativity to serve thatfamily well so yeah, and.
I'd say for the retail store.
What I found is really we wantto be a place where anybody can
come and get that curatedproduct that you can't find
anywhere in northern colorado,and we have everything from you
(09:14):
know easy, simple, lessexpensive things to you know,
whether it's salad servers orcandles or decor all the way to.
Hey, if you want a really nicecouch or custom size rug, we can
do all of those things.
So hopefully there's somethingfor everyone here at Hutch Home
(09:34):
within the retail space.
But yeah, those are some goodfolks and we love serving
everyone at the end of the day,but we do a number of large
scale projects which are a greatfit for us.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You have an unusual amount of services and now a
retail facility for a familybusiness.
That's good for people in FortCollins to know that that exists
, so that they don't have to besubject to the usual suspects of
brick and mortar and larger forthose same things.
Have you ever thought aboutdoing your own podcast?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You know we have thought about it.
I think it's something that wetend to, and when I say we, I
mean Allie, who's found to bothbusinesses and works full time,
works alongside me for the twoof us.
We tend to be people who arepretty all or nothing.
We want to give it our fullself and a day may come but it's
(10:25):
not right.
The second because I want to dosomething well and it really
benefits folks and benefits theindustry, and so for now, we're
taking the opportunity to serveour clients well and really
value our team, to try to servethem well and provide a great
place to work so that they canwork, live and play in this
great area of northern Colorado.
(10:45):
But you hit it head on.
We for sure have tried to bringeverything under one roof where
you don't.
Maybe another myth that I wouldbreak is that people go to
architects all the time and dodesigns and they think that
that's the best path to goforward because they need an
architect.
And I'd say, hey, architectsare amazing, but you should
(11:06):
definitely partner with thebuilder because the number of
plan sets that I've seen thatcost twice as much as you
thought.
Then you've got to pay twice asmuch again to rework those
plans.
Those are the disappointingstories that you hear, that
really coming under one roof andbeing able to look at it all
with numbers associated, butthat's super helpful.
So, yeah, thanks.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Outside of work.
What do you do for fun?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Thanks, Outside of work.
What do you do for fun?
Yeah, I'd say one of the thingsI love to do that I've counted
really as my hobby for the lastdecade or so is doing triathlons
.
So I've done, I know I've doneeverything from sprint
triathlons to half Ironman andreally that's just been a fun
(11:50):
outlet for me.
There's a great community offolks.
There's opportunities to bikewith people, swim with people,
run with people all around and,uh, yeah, that's something I
really enjoy doing.
So I did my first one thissummer, just a few weeks ago,
and it was great.
And I'm doing one, uh, withanother builder friend of mine
up in new hampshire, uh, inseptember.
So we'll see if we get anotherone between then, but I've loved
(12:11):
doing that Also.
I'm a reading nerd.
I love reading Definitelysomething I enjoy doing, and
then, just being outside withhaving three kids yeah, just
being able to enjoy nature, beoutside, and it's refreshing,
and so love all the greatamenities that we get to enjoy
here.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Let's switch gears.
Can you describe a hardship ora life challenge that you
overcame and how it made youstronger?
What comes to mind?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, for sure.
I don't talk about this a lot,but my so.
I grew up with a single mom ina small town of 200 or less
people in Georgia, in southeastGeorgia.
And I would say growing up was ahardship.
I saw my mom work four jobs atone time and that was definitely
(13:00):
a challenge for her and that Igot to experience, saw her go
through a lot of relationalchallenges and at the end of the
day, I think that growing up,even in that small town as I've
gone back throughout the years,I see where a lot of those
people are still there doing thesame thing you know the highest
(13:20):
honor is and it is an honor islike someone makes it to the
junior college there and worksthere on some kind of staff.
But beyond that, I mean, I think, our salutatorians and manager
at Sonic and no hit on fast foodrestaurants to each their own.
But I thought, man, I learnedso much through that challenge
(13:43):
and I also growing up without alot of opportunity, growing up
without a lot of opportunity,and I got propelled so far
forward and really to havebelief in myself, to have the
entrepreneurial bug and knowthat you know you can create a
world for yourself and create aworld for others and really
(14:04):
impact them in a positive waythat I don't know if I would
have had the strength andknowledge to do that had I not
gone through the challenges ofliving in a little more poverty,
living in a real small townwhere there was an opportunity,
living in yeah, the place I grewup in and watching my mom have
to work so hard to try to justmake ends meet.
(14:24):
So I'm thankful for all of that, definitely learned that from
her and learned that from thoseopportunities.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Just grateful to be able to hopefully provide more
opportunity for the people whowork for us just to continue to
grow on a career path and meettheir life dreams and goals.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Noah, please tell our listeners one thing they should
absolutely remember about Hutchdesign and build.
Yeah, I would say everyoneneeds an interior designer.
That's the one thing I'd tellyou.
Whether you're picking outstuff for your house, building a
house, whatever it is, I thinkthat they get a bad rap.
People think they're paintcolor pickers and pillow
(15:32):
fluffers, but at the end of theday, they go to school and they
do what they could bring to yourspace to help make your life
better and what you want it tobe.
So, yeah, if people rememberedone thing we do that in the
storefront, we do that in thecontext of the build, so I'd
share that.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, noah, tell our listeners one thing, that or how
they can learn more about youguys online.
And for the old fashioned folks, phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, old fashioned folks.
Nine, seven, oh two, nine, four, one, five, five, seven.
We love each of you.
That'll ring, I'll answerprobably, and be happy to serve
you and just give you some moreinformation, but I do have a
couple good websiteshutchdesignbuildcom and
hutchhomecoco and we're prettyactive on instagram, on social
(16:19):
media.
So at hutchdesignbuild and athutchhomeco you'll see a number
of different opportunities sales, open slots, inspiration,
freebies.
So take a look in thosedifferent places.
Whatever floats your boat, we'dlove to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, Noah, I really appreciate you being on our show
.
We wish you and your businessthe very best moving forward and
congratulations on the newretail facility.
Speaker 3 (16:43):

It is a residential design firmand construction firm here in
Fort Collins and, yeah, we lovewhat we do.
Get to serve people and maketheir home builds or additions
or remodels come true.
(01:09):
So kind of from concept tocompletion, from.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I have an idea.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I'm not sure what I'm going to do and what I can
afford and I'm not good at thisdesign thing and planning all
their space out, figuring outhow much it costs, targeting
budgets that they have and thenleading it all the way from that
concept to permitting it,completing it, building it and
then, as you mentioned earlier,the fun thing we've had the
(01:34):
opportunity to do in the lasteight months is launch our
retail store in Old Town, whichis called Hutch Home Co.
And we found ourselves basicallydesigning a lot of spaces Maybe
it's that kitchen area and youwanted those bar stools that fit
, as well as that perfect diningroom table and those couches
(01:55):
and that area needing to bestyled out and you just didn't
know what you were going to doand want to find yourself
shopping.
So we sourced a lot of thoseitems and thought what would it
look like if we opened a retailfurniture and home goods store
as well, so that the whole brandcan really do everything,
really from beginning to end?
So we did that at the beginningof December and it's been a fun
(02:17):
journey.
Why not own another businessand serve our people well?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right Noah, how did you get into the business?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, you know, I tell people that I always, for
me, have been interested inbusiness.
I always did business stuff onthe side.
I worked in the nonprofit worldfor over a decade
professionally, but always doingbusiness ventures on the side.
My wife was always doinginterior design and so about.
So seven years ago is when wereally jumped in the deep end
after I'd finished my master'sin business and we said, let's,
(02:54):
let's jump into a firm togetherand work this thing out.
Up until then we'd really doneflips on the side, we've done
investment properties, we'vedone our own home, we've done
friends homes.
So, yeah, about seven years agowe decided, hey, let's go all
in and so started at a firm innorthern Colorado that's no
longer around and theneventually decided, hey, we want
(03:17):
to take this and make it moreour own, and so started Hutch
Design Build.
And here we are today.
So it's always been a passion,though, just learning how to
really.
It comes back for us to servingpeople.
Well, the home's such a sacredplace for folks.
It's where so much happens andunfortunately, there is a lot of
(03:39):
opportunity for things to gowrong and we try to prevent
those things and allow people'sinvestments to really get them
what they want and serve theirfamily and friends and neighbors
well in what gets produced.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What are some myths or misconceptions in your
industry?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, totally.
I think there's a lot aroundthe construction front.
I think that everybody knowssomeone at least who has a story
of being ripped off by acontractor or a contractor being
slow.
Maybe they were good, but theytook forever.
What was supposed to be fourmonths was 14 months and so you
(04:17):
know, I'd say the myth is thatthere's several great firms here
in northern Colorado.
I tell people that at the end ofthe day, like, check us out,
check a couple other places outthere's some great, trusted
folks here.
I know the owners of the otherbusinesses.
They're integrous, they do greatwork and really when people are
trying to choose who's going towork on their home with them,
(04:39):
it's more of a matter of for atleast us in the I would say,
more limelight, I would say ourtrusted companies, the ones
winning awards against oneanother here in Northern
Colorado.
It's one of those things of likeyou know you're going to work
with some kind of team, somekind of company.
Hopefully they're going to comealongside you and be a great
partner in this what might bethe largest investment you ever
(05:02):
make and really interview thosepeople, figure out what it is
that makes them tick, what it'sgoing to be like to work with
them.
Call one of the referrals andout of the handful of us that
are really great, and then, Ithink, break the myth of the
scariness of construction,figure out what process really
is a good process for you, whatteam member is a good team
(05:23):
member?
And so, yeah, the myth is thatyou can't trust contractors, and
I would say there's multiple ofus trying to break that mold
and show hey, there'strustworthy people out here.
So come, find someone that fitsfor you and be a part of
something that's reallyimportant to impacting your life
, and that is changing your homeand making it fit for you.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Who are your target customers, from people that
don't think they can afford thistype of thing all the way up to
the elite homes of Colorado?
Who are your target customerstoday and how are you attracting
them now?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, you know, I would say that for us, we found
that at least one prettydemanding professional like a
professional a couple or afamily who, one of them at least
, has a pretty demanding uh job.
They want someone to come andprovide this great service to
(06:23):
them and be able to trust themand not have to think a lot
about carry the stress.
Let us put that stress on ourshoulders, from our designers to
our construction team, tomyself doing the estimating.
That's the time.
Let us carry it on theirshoulders so that they know, hey
(06:44):
, we can hit a budget, we canhit a timeline, we can provide
an amazing product.
That's like you want.
So I'd say target customers andgood customers are ones that at
least one of them are a workingprofessional, busy and just
trying to find someone who theycan trust and get it done right.
I found that there's a lot offolks who both clients happen to
be working and in that case wefind that those are good fits
(07:05):
because they're just double thebusy and really want someone who

a mess and do what they saidthey're going to do, because
they don't have time to handhold.
You know you mentioned the eliteand I found that one of the
categories of folks that wehaven't been the best customer
(07:25):
for is someone who's just tryingto find another person, another
, you know we're just in thatbox of.
They got a nanny, they got adriver, they got somebody who
does their groceries, someonewho does their cleaning, they
got the pool boy.
They got all of this.
Uh, because in a lot of way Ithink we really tap into the
human element of understandingpeople and what their needs are.
(07:47):

For my wife and I, we have threekids 14, 12, and eight and I

So hopefully there's somethingfor everyone here at Hutch Home
(09:34):
within the retail space.
But yeah, those are some goodfolks and we love serving
everyone at the end of the day,but we do a number of large
scale projects which are a greatfit for us.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You have an unusual amount of services and now a
retail facility for a familybusiness.
That's good for people in FortCollins to know that that exists
, so that they don't have to besubject to the usual suspects of
brick and mortar and larger forthose same things.
Have you ever thought aboutdoing your own podcast?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You know we have thought about it.
I think it's something that wetend to, and when I say we, I
mean Allie, who's found to bothbusinesses and works full time,
works alongside me for the twoof us.
We tend to be people who arepretty all or nothing.
We want to give it our fullself and a day may come but it's
(10:25):
not right.
The second because I want to dosomething well and it really
benefits folks and benefits theindustry, and so for now, we're
taking the opportunity to serveour clients well and really
value our team, to try to servethem well and provide a great
place to work so that they canwork, live and play in this
great area of northern Colorado.
(10:45):
But you hit it head on.
We for sure have tried to bringeverything under one roof where
you don't.
Maybe another myth that I wouldbreak is that people go to
architects all the time and dodesigns and they think that
that's the best path to goforward because they need an
architect.
And I'd say, hey, architectsare amazing, but you should
(11:06):
definitely partner with thebuilder because the number of
plan sets that I've seen thatcost twice as much as you
thought.
Then you've got to pay twice asmuch again to rework those
plans.
Those are the disappointingstories that you hear, that
really coming under one roof andbeing able to look at it all
with numbers associated, butthat's super helpful.
So, yeah, thanks.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Outside of work.
What do you do for fun?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Thanks, Outside of work.
What do you do for fun?
Yeah, I'd say one of the thingsI love to do that I've counted
really as my hobby for the lastdecade or so is doing triathlons
.
So I've done, I know I've doneeverything from sprint
triathlons to half Ironman andreally that's just been a fun
(11:50):
outlet for me.
There's a great community offolks.
There's opportunities to bikewith people, swim with people,
run with people all around and,uh, yeah, that's something I
really enjoy doing.
So I did my first one thissummer, just a few weeks ago,
and it was great.
And I'm doing one, uh, withanother builder friend of mine
up in new hampshire, uh, inseptember.
So we'll see if we get anotherone between then, but I've loved
(12:11):
doing that Also.
I'm a reading nerd.
I love reading Definitelysomething I enjoy doing, and
then, just being outside withhaving three kids yeah, just
being able to enjoy nature, beoutside, and it's refreshing,
and so love all the greatamenities that we get to enjoy
here.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Let's switch gears.
Can you describe a hardship ora life challenge that you
overcame and how it made youstronger?
What comes to mind?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, for sure.
I don't talk about this a lot,but my so.
I grew up with a single mom ina small town of 200 or less
people in Georgia, in southeastGeorgia.
And I would say growing up was ahardship.
I saw my mom work four jobs atone time and that was definitely
(13:00):
a challenge for her and that Igot to experience, saw her go
through a lot of relationalchallenges and at the end of the
day, I think that growing up,even in that small town as I've
gone back throughout the years,I see where a lot of those
people are still there doing thesame thing you know the highest
(13:20):
honor is and it is an honor islike someone makes it to the
junior college there and worksthere on some kind of staff.
But beyond that, I mean, I think, our salutatorians and manager
at Sonic and no hit on fast foodrestaurants to each their own.
But I thought, man, I learnedso much through that challenge
(13:43):
and I also growing up without alot of opportunity, growing up
without a lot of opportunity,and I got propelled so far
forward and really to havebelief in myself, to have the
entrepreneurial bug and knowthat you know you can create a
world for yourself and create aworld for others and really
(14:04):
impact them in a positive waythat I don't know if I would
have had the strength andknowledge to do that had I not
gone through the challenges ofliving in a little more poverty,
living in a real small townwhere there was an opportunity,
living in yeah, the place I grewup in and watching my mom have
to work so hard to try to justmake ends meet.
(14:24):
So I'm thankful for all of that, definitely learned that from
her and learned that from thoseopportunities.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Just grateful to be able to hopefully provide more
opportunity for the people whowork for us just to continue to
grow on a career path and meettheir life dreams and goals.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Noah, please tell our listeners one thing they should
absolutely remember about Hutchdesign and build.
Yeah, I would say everyoneneeds an interior designer.
That's the one thing I'd tellyou.
Whether you're picking outstuff for your house, building a
house, whatever it is, I thinkthat they get a bad rap.
People think they're paintcolor pickers and pillow
(15:32):
fluffers, but at the end of theday, they go to school and they
do what they could bring to yourspace to help make your life
better and what you want it tobe.
So, yeah, if people rememberedone thing we do that in the
storefront, we do that in thecontext of the build, so I'd
share that.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, noah, tell our listeners one thing, that or how
they can learn more about youguys online.
And for the old fashioned folks, phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, old fashioned folks.
Nine, seven, oh two, nine, four, one, five, five, seven.
We love each of you.
That'll ring, I'll answerprobably, and be happy to serve
you and just give you some moreinformation, but I do have a
couple good websiteshutchdesignbuildcom and
hutchhomecoco and we're prettyactive on instagram, on social
(16:19):
media.
So at hutchdesignbuild and athutchhomeco you'll see a number
of different opportunities sales, open slots, inspiration,
freebies.
So take a look in thosedifferent places.
Whatever floats your boat, we'dlove to hear from you.
