Our Team
Heidi Piron
Principal
Design excellence, attention to detail, quality materials and thoughtful space planning are the hallmarks of a kitchen designed by Heidi Piron. The designer reaches beyond a singular style to create a kitchen that reflects a client’s personality and lifestyle. Heidi’s dream team of top-notch design partners and master craftsmen go above and beyond to bring the client’s vision to life. They are united with her in their integrity and passion for impeccable design.
Heidi earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics and International Area Studies from UCLA and spent more than a decade working for many high-tech start-ups in Silicon Valley. In 2005, she relocated to Summit, New Jersey and it was the renovation of her own kitchen—her second for her growing family—that ignited her passion for kitchen design. In a way, she was following a similar path as her father Anton whose second career was as an architect and builder of custom homes in San Diego. The first home he designed was for his own family.
Since establishing her business, Heidi’s work has been published in leading design magazines, including House Beautiful, Luxe and Veranda and featured in house tours of grand homes in the area. In equal measure, her work has garnered the attention of the design community. In 2018, her peers recognized Heidi as a top innovator in Kitchen & Bath Design News’ national list of 50 industry leaders. She has also won two consecutive “Best of the Best” awards from Sub-Zero and Wolf Kitchen Design Contest; and in 2019, Heidi was one of thirty Global Finalists in a KDC contest that drew more than 1,800 contestants from 18 countries. In 2016, Heidi took the top prize in Blue Star’s first Kitchen Design Competition and, as a result of the win, the company tapped the designer to create a new line of colors for a series of ranges. Gratifying as the accolades and achievements are to the designer, the thrill for Heidi is always in the present moment. The discovery of a new countertop material, creating an innovative storage solution or drafting a small detail that takes a kitchen from good to great.
