Owner
Mike started the original company, Visual Concepts Plus, in 1990 with his father and cousin. Over the years the company has been forced to adapt to changing market conditions and economic cycles. Mike’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Lehigh University laid the foundation for both problem solving and functional design that allowed the company not only to survive, but to thrive. Because of this, Mike brings a unique vision to kitchen and bath design. Every space is different and so is every client. The challenge and the satisfaction come from developing the best solution for each client. Everything starts with function and includes good space planning with an eye to the aesthetic. Of course, it all has to be done while adhering to the budget. At the end of the day, the best designed kitchen or bath is one that works great, looks great and fits the budget. This driving principle will be found in the work of all of our designers and staff.

Owner
Amy and Mike met in Chicago while working in the golf industry. They liked working together so much that they became partners in life and in business. Amy manages the business side of the operation, handling the accounting as well as human resources. Although she will readily tell you that she just pays the bills and you don’t want her giving design advice, she does have a good eye for how things work together. Because of her intimate daily interaction with all aspects of the business, she is able to keep her finger on the pulse of the company.

Sales Designer
Erin started out her career in Design as a design assistant to local interior designer Donna Katz. She then moved on as an interior designer for a home furnishings store. When the market crashed, she moved on to work as a department manager in a very busy restaurant in Ocean City. And in 2015 decided to come back to the design field and joined Kitchen Concepts as a Designer / Salesperson. Design is her passion and she loves to work with people. She thoroughly enjoys the process of renovations, from the beginning meeting to the end result when she gets to see the smiles on her clients face when they realize their dream kitchen / bathroom became a reality. Erin is a hard worker, quick learner and very easy to get along with. She strives to be a good role model for her 7 year old daughter, who maybe one day will love design just as much as her.
