Alice Powell, Designer

Upon graduating, from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1993, with a degree in Interior Design, Alice began working in the Kitchen and Bath industry. Quickly realizing her passion for design and the enjoyment of meeting with clients, she was blessed to be hired by Plantation Cabinetry in 1999. At that time, she was hired by Dick and Patty Schroeder and was the business’s first “nonfamily” member of the business; in the years since, the Schroeder family has referred to her as their “adopted” daughter. Today she still works alongside the brother and sister team – Jim Schroeder and Miriam Cotter. Today, she is still dedicated to doing her very best for her clients – helping them design functional, beautiful spaces they will enjoy for years.
