"After 20 years in the design field, Scott Snyder is steadfast in his commitment to his profession, so he's frustrated when potential clients assume that hiring an interior designer is prohibitively expensive. \"It's the product that's expensive,\" he emphasizes. \"Mistakes can be costly\u2014but that's a problem alleviated by choosing the right designer. Trust is key to the successful outcome of any project\u2014a designer should be hired only if the rapport between client and designer is a good one. Choosing a designer based solely on a fee schedule is a big mistake.\"\n\nWith offices in New York and Palm Beach, Florida, Snyder travels regularly to England and France to search for antiques, though he also creates Regency- and Empire-style furniture made of Argentine mahogany for his projects. Describing himself as \"a bit old-fashioned,\" he marvels at how technology has transformed his work. \"We're completely AutoCAD-dependent, though I do keep a typewriter in my Palm Beach office.\" Still, he's glad to see a renewed interest in tradition in design. \"Over the last decade more and more clients have been returning to the reassuring traditional interior,\" he observes. \"The reevaluation of tradition is producing more qualified artisans, and, at long last, quality craftsmanship is following suit.\" The trend agrees with Snyder\u2014whose design philosophy is, \"Quality before fashion, comfort before form, suitability before all.\"\n\nScott Snyder\n\n 561-659-6255\n\n 212-230-1811"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
