OWNER & FOUNDER
Tanya Smith-Shiflett
Tanya has always believed that the kitchen is, in fact, the heart of the home. She has always been passionate about balancing function and beauty in the rooms we use most. While working full-time in medical sales, she began helping her husband’s building company part-time with kitchen layouts. Her innate ability to create beautiful and functional kitchens promoted her to become the founder of Unique Kitchens & Baths. Since 2005, Tanya has been in the kitchen design community, expanding her skills and honing her expertise. Today, she works closely with her in-house team of designers at UKB to create timeless spaces.
COO & CABINET MAKER
David Shiflett
David, a Maryland native, has been a certified builder since 2000 with carpentry and cabinetry being his specialty. As a master carpenter with a lifetime of experience, he is an expert on home design. When Tanya decided to open her own kitchen and bath design studio, David turned his focus to crafting custom cabinetry for her clients. Now, as COO, he ensures that process continues to run smoothly and oversees production, working alongside the finest carpenters to bring the studio’s design to life.
