Design Works.

Design Works advertises residential and commercial design, remodels, full-home renovation, project management and event styling. The business traces to Natali Alexander Design LLC, licensed in 2024, and took its current name and contractor registration in 2025. A Spokane County mechanical permit in Colbert that year, since closed, shows the remodel side in practice. It's a small operation, with the state putting the crew at one to three people and the owner directly involved in the work, so trade work is brought in through subcontractors the firm coordinates. The fit is a project where design drives the job: a whole-house refresh planned from layout through finishes, a kitchen remodel that has to match its drawings and land on schedule, or the interior of a shop or salon. A homeowner planning ground-up construction or a framing-heavy addition is better served by a builder whose core is structure. Visits are by appointment, not walk-in. Interior remodels in Spokane run year-round, but calendars fill unevenly. Late winter and spring bring a rush of planning as people book summer projects, and fall fills with homeowners hoping to finish a kitchen or living space before the holidays. Design-first work adds lead time on top of construction, since selections, drawings and ordered materials such as cabinets, tile and fixtures have to come together before demolition. Starting the design conversation a season ahead of when you want crews in the house keeps the schedule realistic.
