A Mentorship Mindset
Successful remodeling projects are rooted in alignment.
Not just alignment of budget and timing.
More importantly: alignment of values.
When we align our actions with our values, we foster authenticity and trust.
Trust is where truly inspiring design flourishes.
Trust is where innovative solutions are born.
Trust is where space is given to forward thinking, thoughtful agility, and genuine ownership of results.
Caring deeply, influencing positively, and assuming good intent are a few of the core values of Two Island Design Build.
Embodying our values allows the Two Island team to support one another and lead with integrity, allowing us to fully serve our clients.
Two Island Design Build founder and principal, Donella Olson, leads with a simple mission: to be who she needed when she was younger, which translates to serving from a mentorship mindset.
For employees and partners, this means encouraging ownership of outcomes, autonomy, mitigating risk, and striving for both personal and business growth.
Growth within a culture of safety and belonging, eliminating codependency, and encouraging authenticity, so workers can put down their baggage and find a career home with Two Island.
Passing along decades of skill and experience to new generations of highly skilled workers, so they can stand on the shoulders of the giants who built the industry.
For homeowners, mentorship is found in empathy. Observing the interactions and nuance of how they live, how they want to live, what needs to change, and how to get there.
Creating spaces for their kids and their pets. Holding space for their hesitations and celebrating their joy.
Listening hard enough to see the life they want, then build the home where they will live it.
Mentorship on a broader scale means shoring up the construction workforce, empowering women and girls, helping young people see beyond their current situation, and leading with enlightenment and encouragement.
Being a neighbor, not just a contractor.
Remodeling is seeing potential and helping it to fruition.
Mentorship is seeing potential and helping it to fruition.
The two concepts cannot be separated.
Two Island Design Build is a builder of places… and people.
Alignment will be found with those who
… aspire.
… cannot let potential to go unrealized.
… decide to not just be in a place, but to live in it.
And with those who understand…
Rooms where people thrive beyond their imaginations do not just happen.
They must be built.
