Meet Ruby. This well traveled young pup is the face of Forward Design Build, and we invite you to journey with her through our projects, design features, and much more.
Ruby was rescued from posh circumstances, where she traveled the globe. This poor little labradoodle, forced into a life of luxury, studied architectural design in Paris to pass the time. There she learned about earth friendly building practices, and state of the art interior selections.
She knew she had to put all of this incredible knowledge to good use, so she reached out to the Forward Design Build team. Owner, Jef rescued her from her treacherous situation, giving her a new home, and a new purpose.
Now, she spends her time assisting the design team with paint color options, making sure our carpenters are crossing their t's and dotting their i's, and entertaining clients at the office. She also is the chief editor of the Paw Press, which is kind of a big deal.
We are so happy to have her on board here in Ann Arbor, and look forward to everything that Ruby brings to the table, which is mostly bones.
