Charity Podsednik

Design Consultant

 
Charity joined Sun Design in 2022, bringing with her more than a decade of hands-on experience in interior design. Her dedication to Sun Design’s core values, particularly personal growth, quickly led to her promotion to Design Consultant. In her role, Charity assists clients in clarifying their project scope, setting timelines and budgets, and collaboratively creating design solutions that align with their home’s possibilities. She adeptly communicates cost variations based on the desired scope of work and unique vision, uncovering details through insightful questions that many homeowners haven’t considered. With her focus on consistent communication, Charity guides clients through the process, ensuring their needs are understood and their vision is realized.
 
Prior to joining Sun Design, Charity held various roles including office manager, bookkeeper, and accountant. Her journey to Sun Design began with her own antique furniture restoration business, CPRevisions, where her passion for interior design blossomed. Drawing from her background in accounting and small business ownership, Charity is adept at managing budgets, ensuring that financial considerations are integrated seamlessly into the design-build process.
 
Reflecting on her decision to join Sun Design, Charity remarked, “When I called Sun Design to inquire about opportunities, I immediately felt supported. After spending over 15 years away from a traditional desk job while raising my children, this intentional support felt like an instant connection. Every person I met at Sun Design shared the same attitude towards connection and celebrating individuality.”
 
Outside of work, Charity enjoys spending time with her three children, attending football games, tubing on the Shenandoah River, and playing ring toss with friends. She is also passionate about cultivating her large European-style garden.

Why Us

~ Holistic Design Solutions ~ Structural Change ~ Wellness + Thriving in Place ~ Natural Light + Outdoor Connections ~

Sun Design brings all the tools to the table, removing the stress from the renovation process and keeping the impact of clients’ busy lives to a minimum.

You want a professional perspective on what can be done creatively to transform your living space, but, once decided, you want a contractor you can trust to complete the job as outlined while staying within the final budget. Regular consultation is appreciated, as well as being apprised of the unexpected, but you don’t have the time or opportunity to be constantly monitoring the project. This is why you need a contractor you can trust.

With Sun Design, you don’t have to worry about finding the right materials or subcontractors to bring your project to fruition. Sun Design provides expert guidance: from project design to selecting materials, to bringing in the right specialists to complete the job.

Get Started

Whether you’re looking for remodeling ideas or inspiration for your upcoming Kitchen remodel, Addition project or Whole House renovation; our friendly and creative team will make the best use of your most important asset: your home. Contact us today.
