At Coastal Life Design, our design-build approach streamlines your entire project from concept to completion under one roof. By integrating design, planning, and construction into a single, cohesive process, we eliminate the disconnects that often occur between separate designers and contractors. This means clearer communication, faster decision-making, and fewer costly surprises along the way.


Our team collaborates from day one—aligning your vision, budget, and timeline—so every detail is thoughtfully considered before construction begins. The result is a more efficient workflow, tighter cost control, and a smoother, more enjoyable experience for you.

Cindy Sherman - Designer & CKBD

Cindy’s passion for design began early, growing up in a custom cabinet shop in Arizona. What started with crafting dollhouses quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of creating thoughtfully designed, highly functional residential spaces.


As a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer (CKBD) and an active member of the National Kitchen & Bath Association, Cindy remains engaged in the design community, contributing to mentorship programs that inspire the next generation of skilled trades professionals.


Known for her hands-on approach, Cindy seamlessly blends refined aesthetics with practical design, delivering sophisticated coastal interiors tailored to the way her clients live. Her work reflects a balance of beauty and purpose, resulting in spaces that feel both elevated and enduring.
