General Manager

When did you first become excited about design?

When I was in elementary school, I went to work with my dad (a contractor) to a new construction home for Bring Your Daughter to Work Day. I loved the hustle and bustle and new home smell! I thought it was the absolute coolest atmosphere to work in. I loved it so much that I spent summers through high school and college working with him! Now my daughter comes to work with me and is starting to learn about the industry!

How did you first become interested in design?

I was actually working at Kitchens by Countryside in an administrative assistant capacity when they were looking for a new designer. I shadowed Sierra, did some hands-on training and discovered that I really love design!

How long have you been a designer?

I’ve been a designer for close to 18 years, and I’m lucky to work on the design team at Kitchens by Countryside. I’ve been thinking like a designer since I was young — envisioning how I would redecorate and redesign homes that I visited, even if they were well decorated already.

When did you first get into design?

I was given a dollhouse when I was 5 years old.  I loved finding furniture and finishes that fit the time period.

Kitchen and Bath Designer

When did you first become interested in design?

I have been creative all my life, dabbling in illustration, graphic design, fine art, and curation through the years. I became more interested in interior design upon buying a c. 1910 home in Rochester and gradually updating it to better reflect my personal style, while respecting the history of the house.

What inspired you to get into design?

My parents! My mom is super design-oriented and loves to make changes and additions to our home to improve the aesthetics inside and out. And my dad can build nearly anything he sets his mind to. I really enjoy helping them implement different strategies to improve the overall look and functionality of their space!

Director of Remodeling

When did you first become interested in home remodeling?

I’ve always enjoyed building, from Legos to tree houses! Throughout my career, I’ve been able to experience every stage of construction, from foundation to finish work. The detail and outcome of the finish work is what I enjoy the most.

Amy McFeely

Design Assistant

What inspired you to get into design?

Growing up, I found my love for design through HGTV and rearranging my room. I was constantly rearranging my room (and still do) and I loved it-both the planning out where to put things and the actual act of doing it. My parents also had several home improvement projects done through the years. A family friend did most of them and I always loved either watching what he was doing or getting to help out with the process.

Jacklyn Capozzi

Design Assistant

When did you first become interested in design?

I have loved interior design since I can remember, I would always watch HGTV and cut out magazine clippings to make mood boards out of them. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school I knew I wanted to pursue interior design as a career.

Aubrey Mowers

josh kay, project manager, kitchens by countryside, rochester, ny

Design Assistant

What inspired you to get into design?

I went to Cosmetology school after my son was born. I knew I loved art, and had opinions on all things design, but didn’t know if I could take the time to go to school while he was little. Cut to 20 years later in the salon industry and I finally made the decision to reevaluate my career and do what I really love. I am so excited to be starting in this field of Design!
