Emily Johnson and Lisa McWilliams are the founders of Novateur Design Solutions or as we like to call ourselves “The Green Gals”

Both of us have a background as Interior Designers and in Architectural Sales. Prior to starting Novateur, Emily worked at Perkins + Will and Stanley Beaman and Sears as a Interior Designer and Lisa was the Commercial Sales Manager for Carapace, a DuPont Surfaces Distributor. Emily and Lisa met while working together at Carapace and made the decision to form Novateur Design Solutions.

We saw that there was a lack of product offerings in the market that were both innovative and sustainable and marketed under one umbrella; an umbrella which could fulfill the ease of a one source design offering. Thus Novateur Design Solutions came to life.... Novateur is French for Innovation and after you browse our product offerings, we think you will defiantly find them unique and inspiring. We are pleased to offer a wide variety of products ranging from flooring to glass, furniture, laminates, veneers, resins and ceilings.

Our goal is to continue to be a large part of the design community through active involvement and also by representing manufacturers who offer the most innovative products to the world of commercial Architecture and Interiors.
