Dillon, NCIDQ, ASID"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>From an early age, Shawna Dillon learned to appreciate the idea of home and the personal elements that give it meaning. \u201cAs a child, I was deeply aware of how different spaces made me feel and curious about why,\u201d she recalls. She later enrolled in the design program at Virginia Tech, which taught a rigorous, analytical approach and reinforced that aesthetics are only a part of the process. \u201cI learned that beauty is the result of countless decisions that ensure a space feels proportioned, comfortable, healthy and safe,\u201d Dillon explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After working as a residential designer, Dillon turned to kitchen design and founded Studio Snaidero DC Metro in 2014. The Old Town Alexandria showroom spotlights made-in-Italy products, emphasizing eco-responsible materials and sustainable production. \u201cWe curate specialized kitchen, bath and storage solutions,\u201d Dillon says. Made-to-measure installs combine advanced technology with Italian craftsmanship and exacting detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A commitment to exceptional customer service and personal attention guides the company. \u201cEvery project is a collaboration,\u201d Dillon avers. \u201cWe recognize that no two clients\u2014or homes\u2014are alike.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the last two years, Studio Snaidero DC Metro has received design awards from ASID, Kitchen &amp; Bath Business, NKBA and Modern Luxury\u2019s Design 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See more at HandD.com\/StudioSnaidero<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4287,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"designer-categories":[3],"designer-specialties":[],"class_list":["post-3806","designer","type-designer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","designer_category-interior-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designers\/3806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/designer"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"designer_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer-categories?post=3806"},{"taxonomy":"designer_specialty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/homeanddesign.com\/portfolio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/designer-specialties?post=3806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
