About Us…
My name is Geoffrey Ball, the founder of GB Design, and I have been specializing in residential projects and drafting construction documents since 1996. Over the past 17 years, I have built my business on hard work and determination. I thrive on challenges and take great pleasure in designing homes and interior spaces. I apply Feng Shui principles along with my intuitive abilities when creating designs that maximize the potential of each property. Finding the best views and ensuring optimal flow are key components of my work. It is always a joy to collaborate as a team on a new project from concept to completion.
At GB Designs LLC, we partner closely with you.
Our mission is to fill a niche where both homeowners and builders receive exceptional design and quality workmanship at a reasonable price. It's important to note that true experience is honed in the trenches, and the quality of what we deliver is directly tied to the planning executed by those with that experience. Our collective background brings over 50 years of expertise to the table.
My journey in the industry began in 1980 at a small cabinet shop in Phoenix, Arizona. This foundation led me to work in commercial construction across Arizona and Southern California. After spending 10 years as an independent trim carpenter, I joined a custom home builder in Sedona, Arizona, for another 6.5 years. During this time, I honed additional skills in project supervision and client collaboration for designing and drafting plans. In 1996, I decided to focus on my passion for building design, aiming for a direct impact on the creation process. I took the practical experience I gained in the field and transformed it into a new approach in the office, helping my clients visualize their desired home design. Through this, I developed the ability to intuitively understand and mentally visualize their needs. I listen closely to my clients' desires and dreams, producing a visual experience that allows them to review concepts they may struggle to envision.
While some clients may only require drawings of their designs, I am more than willing to accommodate their requests. I have learned that successful home design goes beyond mere artistry and creativity. As Roy H. Williams wisely said, "A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."
