How Did Your Business Get Started?

Design Match is a unique design service that connects homeowners with design professionals that suit them best. Design Match uses personality, style and budget information gathered through interviews to match customers to interior designers, architects and builders. Creating a team of professionals and customers that work well together results in a successful design project.

SCORE was able to evaluate the benefit and need of this service, one unique to Southwest Florida, and helped Design Match get started. The owner, Lynn Pitochelli, believes that if it wasn’t for SCORE, she wouldn’t have been able to launch Design Match. As a result, Design Match has been building a client base for two years, and has also added a marketing and public relations service to her design professionals.
