About Michael Mok:

I founded this blog because my friends and family have been asking me for advice on design, contractors and home product (faucets, appliances, tiles, etc.). They want to learn from me on how to save time and money while getting the result they want.

I am the founder of Geonoma, a real estate development company. For the last nine years, I was the Vice President of a kitchen and bath remodeling company where I managed both the design and the construction team. I learned to understand people’s concerns from working with homeowners, interior designers and general contractors. During that time, I also served on the Board of Directors of the Silicon Valley Chapter of the National Association of Remodeling Industries (NARI).
