“It used to be I could walk into a restaurant and tell who designed it—the architects defined it. I want restaurants that you know are Black restaurants. Scott and Charma ‘get’ it—they innovate, they hear what you are saying. I consider them integral to the process and to my team.”
Chef Jeff Black, Co-Founder “It’s so important to Linda and me that people understand what’s behind Teaism—that it grows from ancient traditions and is so much more than a cup of liquid. There’s a philosophy behind what we serve and how we present things. Scott and Charma gave expression to our passion for what we do.”
Michelle Brown, Co-Founder “If Scott and Charma were not such talented artists, we would insist they become restaurant people. Their fun, customer-centric approach is a rare find. For years now, Scott has been able to turn my rambling narratives into just the right images to represent our restaurants. Charma’s website photography gives our guests a true representation of what to look forward to even before they join us. We are lucky to have found this pair.”
Jill Norton, Vice President of Human Resources, Design & Construction
"At every turn, the work that comes out of Shelter Studios surprises and delights me, and far exceeds my expectations!"
"Our longest and most valued professional relationship - Shelter has been an indispensable partner in the creation of a distinctive brand for our organization. Over many years now, the compliments on the design of our print materials and website just keep coming; Scott is our secret weapon. He brings to his work a rare combination of talent, intelligence and sensitivity to client needs... not to mention a droll, or perhaps the word I seek is macabre, sense of humor."
"Collaborating with Shelter Studios over the last several years has been a dream. Not only is Charma Edmonds a true creative force, she is also a professional in every sense of the word. She and her team consistently deliver the finest workmanship we could ask for while being respectful of our clients' time and expectations. Shelter Studios continues to exceed our expectations on each and every project."
"I have worked as a professional interior designer in the DC area for the last decade. My job has created working relationships with hundreds of vendors over that time, and at the top of those hundreds of vendors sits Charma Le Edmonds. I value Charma greatly not only for her exquisite talent as a faux finisher and artist, but also because of her professionalism. If you hire Charma for your projects I'm certain that you will have the same great experiences that I have had." |
