Betsy Valadez Baldwin, Associate, Senior Interior Designer
Betsy is a long-term SIX5er, helping to build our San Antonio office and then becoming our first work-from-home test case, long before it was a thing. She is a talented and passionate designer, successfully creating multiple beautiful projects across the country and has several repeat clients by request. She encapsulates what it means to create and connect our communities.
She truly is a one-woman show, she runs every part of the design process from space planning, selecting finishes and furnishings, ordering samples, writing specs, and even scheduling and managing her own installations. Most importantly, Betsy always has a collaborative, can-do attitude. She has been an integral part of our firm’s growth and is an important part of our future. Congratulations, Betsy!
