"Lafayette's only Certified Kitchen Designer "in Lafayette, Indiana celebrates 25 years of industry experience with kitchen and bath design. Susan Benedict started her career in 1985 working for a custom cabinet manufacturer. Susan has worked for three other kitchen design firms in central Indiana before opening Design Alternatives in 1994; upon receiving her certification through the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
Her 25 years of kitchen and bath industry experience has allowed her to sponsor three quality cabinet dealerships: Grabill Custom Cabinetry, Custom Cupboards and Showplace Wood Products. Susan and her company Design Alternatives are excited about integrating a new category into the business; Aging in Place. This is remodeling geared toward keeping people in their homes as opposed to moving to a facility. Susan foresees many of the new Aging in Place products being a standard in the home within the next 10 years.
