“It is a great time to be in Design as the options available are endless and the current focus on a clean architectural looks is inspiring and never boring. ”

Additionally Steele’s background in historic restoration in Charleston S.C. comes into play whether she is creating an estate look for a new home or remodeling an existing property.

Golden Gate Kitchens carries many lines of cabinetry, all available with custom finishes. This gives an unlimited range of style options. We can work with your contractor, architect, or if needed, refer a select, licensed contractor to complete your project. Helena also has very approachable and talented designers she teams with to completed your entire home, if needed.

All working plans and elevations are completed in accordance with NKBA standards. Interestingly, Helena is one of the select few kitchen designers who still does all her drawings by hand. This process enables her to be truly “in” the project; watching her sketch elevations, bringing your individual design to life in front of you, is a treat.

Helena enjoys working with Developers; Developer inquiries are welcome.
