Emily has been a real development partner throughout all of our growth. She is very in tune to what we want to accomplish in a project and helps to design in a way that allows us to really achieve our goals….she is utterly instrumental in designing our spaces and implementing our unique processes. She always asks the right questions and leads us down the right path.
For example, when we first met with C&T, Emily immediately understood our goal. With a farm to fork concept in mind, Emily saw what we wanted to accomplish and helped us find the best way to implement our chef-focused vision of a modern kitchen experience.

I have worked with C&T Design in 3 states building kitchen classrooms. My experience with John in Detroit has exceeded my expectations with the customer service, knowledgeable advice and high standards of work provided. From quote to delivery through to installation, there was great communication with C&T and the team. They adapted to construction changes and offered solutions when needed. I look forward to our next project together.

It’s been my pleasure over the last two years to work with a real professional in the hospitality industry, Adam Shepard, Branch Manager, Miami for C&T Design. While what he does is provide commercial kitchen equipment, I mention him as a hospitality professional because that’s how he goes about his work. Adam's top quality services start with taking the time to clearly understanding the project, from there it’s assisting with design, layout and engineering, to equipment selection and the crucial steps of delivery and installation... I've enjoyed each step of the process with Adam and know that in Adam Shepard and C+T Design, I've got a true hospitality resource to lean on that just happens to focus on providing commercial kitchen equipment.
