CASEY AND SMITH PROMOTED TO PROJECT MANAGERS

            EDWARDS, CO – Amy Lee Casey and Shayne Smith of Slifer Designs have recently been promoted from interior designers to project managers. 
            Vice president Yvonne Jacobs made the announcement in October. 
            “Both Amy and Shayne have worked hard to earn their new positions,” Jacobs said.  “Our clients enjoy working with them and they produce beautiful results,” Jacobs continued. 
            Casey began with Slifer Designs in 2001 as a retail associate in the Edwards showroom.  She was then inspired to go back to school to become a designer and left Slifer Designs to get an Interior Design degree from Parsons Design School in New York.   Upon returning to Slifer Designs in 2002, Casey was hired as a Design Associate in the Interior Design department and in 2004 was promoted to Interior Designer.  Casey has recently completed luxury residences in Bachelor Gulch, Aspen, Colorado Springs, Atlanta and Manhattan.
            Smith began with Slifer Designs in late 2005 upon relocating from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.  Having owned her own firm in New Orleans and subsequently working a stint at the international firm Hirsch Bedner in Atlanta, Smith’s background includes both hospitality and residential jobs.  “Shayne’s experience is a perfect fit for Slifer Designs,” continued Jacobs. Smith is currently working on residences in Telluride, Aspen, Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch and on a new boutique hotel in Aspen – The Dancing Bear.
            Slifer Designs is an award winning international authority on luxury resort design and has completed projects in all of Colorado’s high end resorts as well as Hawaii, New England, Califorina wine country and in the resorts of Mexico.  The retail showroom is located in Edwards, next to Starbucks and is open daily.  For more information, visit www.sliferdesigns.com.
