In July of '05 we purchased a one hundred year old adobe home in Taos New Mexico. We then returned to Oregon happy, but with a list of things to be done. I contacted Joan Duncan via e-mail and we set about completely redoing our kitchen and bathroom, resurfacing and re-plastering the walls, and completely furnishing our 3,000 sq. ft home. Joan listened to our ideas, and then combined them with her unique talent and Taos connections, completely transforming our ideas into a truly spectacular home! Joan has the vision of an artist, combining colors and textures, an eye for detail and an ability to think outside the box. I found her ability to listen, her honesty and an unshakable work ethic reassuring. I have not been disappointed. Joan Duncan is a highly skilled Interior Designer and Taos is lucky to have her!

Joan’s design abilities, management skills and capability in working well with a team proved highly valuable in her work on the 18 Native American Suites of our luxury resort, El Monte Sagrado. Joan maintained a keen sense of integrity and professionalism in the many tasks associated with her work with us. Her responsibility and dedication in meeting our opening deadline was instrumental in the completion of our resort.

Joan’s suggestions for practical and creative use of our space, her sense of color, texture and scale, her attention to detail and background knowledge of the inner workings of buildings (no doubt, due to her background in architecture) have added so much to the quality of our lives. All this and she got along beautifully with vendors, contractors, subcontractors and the client.
