“Grit + Pearl Design Company is instrumental in taking the Flippers Pizzeria brand and new restaurant openings to the next level. From discovery to the final product, their process is efficient, professional, and well executed. G + P has taken our passion for all-natural artisan pizza and translated it into a design that clearly conveys quality and authenticity while maintaining utility and practicality. Beyond the creative, they source all the elements, manage the ordering process, and work closely with our contractor to ensure projects are a success. Our new prototype elevates the guest experience and creates a working environment that our team members take even more pride in. G + P is a great design and brand partner, and we are excited to work together on many more projects to come!”

Ben Richardson, Chief Operating Officer at Flippers Pizzeria Restaurants

“I’ve worked with Monica on various projects from rebranding and interior design, providing customized design packages for franchise, merchandising initiatives, exterior storefronts, etc. She does an outstanding job understanding the balance needed for functional design – it’s beautiful, but it works operationally. She’s wonderful to collaborate with – always offering thoughtful recommendations and a willingness to problem solve across a variety of teams, including other designers. She’s reliable, hands on and can manage competing priorities well.”

Jessica Replogle, Sr. Director of Marketing at First Watch Restaurants

“I have engaged Monica for several design projects both personally and professionally. She helped us reimagine and update the exterior of our home to select paint colors (house, trim and shutters) and worked closely with us on a transformational remodel of our kitchen and guest bathroom. Her ability to transfer our ideas and wants into an executable design is tremendous. We are extremely pleased with the results and the process and I highly recommend her.”

Chris Tomasso, Residential Client

“Monica is a fantastic partner who has had a meaningful impact on our restaurant experience through design. Each material and element tells a story and she works hard to understand intent so that it can inform the end design. She is nimble and works across a variety of budget levels making working with her easy and fun.”

Matt Eisenacher, SVP Brand Strategy First Watch Restaurants

“Monica has a great sense of style. Her vision, a deep understanding of trends combined with her sensitivity to our budget, makes her a reliable partner we trust. The results speak for themselves.”

Kevin Hall, Partner at Ripfire

“Monica is a very talented designer with great project management skills, is really creative, and is passionate about her work. She truly cares about the details, which makes all the difference throughout the phases of a project. I had the pleasure of working with her previously as a colleague and was able to witness her talent firsthand. I would highly recommend working with her on your next project.”

Anita Shumaker, AKS Design LLC

“Working with Monica White on our new Home Office was a pleasure. I could not have been happier with her professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge of the project. She was always there to answer questions and provide insight and expertise. I would recommend Monica without reservation for any new construction or remodel design projects you may have.”
