Michigan Based The Inman Company Expands Into Chicago
Residential and Commercial Interior Design Firm taking on the Windy City
CHICAGO, IL (AUGUST, 2010) – Chicago is synonymous with style, as Shane Inman is with creating that style. Through his extensive work in interior and exterior design, custom kitchens and bathrooms, lighting design and space planning, Inman, principal designer and owner of The Inman Company, has captured the attention of a roster of discerning commercial and residential clients throughout Michigan and is now thrilled to be entering the Chicagoland market.
From spearheading Michigan based campaigns such as the “Ugly Kitchen Contest,” in which a lucky winner received a $35,000 custom redesign, serving as an adjunct professor of interior design at Michigan State University, designing sets and party creations for the Traverse City Film Festival founded and overseen by famed filmmaker Michael Moore, serving as a goodwill ambassador in Africa, and catering to commercial and residential clients alike, Inman looks forward to obtaining even larger-scaled projects in the Chicagoland market that will broaden his capabilities and strengthen his design portfolio.
“Shane Inman is one of those high-end designers that uses only the best products available for his clients,” says Lisa Kuenning of Donghia, leader of luxury home furnishings. “He exudes a kind of discipline that is very needed in our business and it is something that many designers do not have, while offering a great balance of creativity and business sense.”
Inman also provides real estate staging, consulting, event design and organizational services to his clients. As the host of “Resale Reality Check” on Traverse City’s 106.7 FM, Inman is an expert at educating and advising consumers about the importance of interior design in the building/renovation process. He has also been a contributing writer for TAAR (Traverse Area Association of Realtors), Traverse City Business News, columnist for the Michigan Home Resource Guide, and the Traverse City Record-Eagle as well as a regular guest on the Mary in the Morning radio show.
“Chicago has an energy about it like no other city I’ve worked in and I’m thrilled to be entering into it,” says Inman. “By marrying my design passion and experiences spanning across the industry, I’ve already begun making a name for myself in Chicago and I look forward to building my clientele rapidly.”
