Meet the Team

The people behind every project.

Design, general contracting, fabrication, and installation all sit on one team, so the person who draws your room is working alongside the people who build it.

Mona Patel

Operating Partner — Design

Born and raised in Britain to Indian heritage, Mona studied design at the University of Huddersfield and has called the U.S. home for about twenty years. She began her career in fitness before moving into interior design at a respected Charlotte firm, and after several years there, with encouragement from friends and family, she built her own practice.

She brings those influences together in rooms that feel international and personal, from a kitchen where she draws the porcelain countertop and our own team templates and installs it, to a primary bath finished with a groutless shower. At Hendricks & Woodford she leads the design of every project, from the first layout to the final styling.

Her belief is simple: everyone deserves a home they love, a personal sanctuary to come back to. And yes, the British accent is real.

What Mona handles

  • Space planning & full room layouts
  • Material, finish & furniture selection
  • Kitchen & primary bath design
  • Styling through installation day

Chris Holland

Operating Partner — Build, Fabrication & Install

Chris grew up in his father's welding and machining shop and went on to run fabrication and installation for granite specialists before moving into large-format porcelain. He still runs the saw, and he stays hands-on with how every surface is templated, fabricated, and installed.

What Chris handles

  • Templating, fabrication & installation
  • Granite, quartz, quartzite & large-format porcelain
  • Groutless showers & fireplace surrounds
  • Hands-on in the shop and on the job site

Halle

Junior Designer

Halle graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Fashion Merchandising. She spent about a year and a half interning alongside Mona, growing as a designer on real projects, before joining Hendricks & Woodford full-time.

Her favorite part of the work is watching a space go from an idea on paper to the real thing: a mood board that becomes a finished kitchen, a tile selection that becomes a wall. Outside the studio she is happiest near the ocean, traveling, spending time with her pets, and, by her own admission, napping.

Her design sensibility

  • Coastal modern at heart
  • Calm palettes, natural textures & clean lines
  • Bright pops of color, used with intention
  • Concept to finished space, start to finish

How the Team Works

One team, three disciplines.

Design

Space planning, material and finish selection, and styling, led by Mona and Halle from concept through installation day.

General Contracting

Our in-house GC handles permitting, scheduling, trade coordination, and daily site management, so the build is run by the same team that designed it.

In-House GC

Fabrication & Installation

We template your space, fabricate your surfaces and cabinetry, and install the finished work, sourcing direct from the vendors through our own accounts.
