The Vision Behind Office Design Works

With over thirteen years of hands-on experience, Kevin has built Office Design Works as a modern, consultative alternative to traditional office furniture dealerships. His approach focuses on transparency, long-term client partnerships, and creating workspaces that genuinely perform — rather than simply filling space.

Jimmee

The steady hand behind ODW's day-to-day: the right teammate on every job, and every promise on track.

I'm Jimmee, Office Manager at Office Design Works. I run the day-to-day for Kevin Astala, our owner, so the team can stay focused on helping Houston and Denver businesses open, relocate and expand. Think of me as the calm in the middle of a busy week: when ten things land at once, I sort them, put a name on each one and get everybody moving. And nothing goes out to a client or partner until Kevin says yes. That's how we keep our word.

• ◆Steady under pressure
• ◆A name on every item
• ◆Kevin's yes comes first
• ◆Checked on every screen

Max

Every page, every post, every part number. If it's broken, I'll find it first.

I'm Max, Analytics Manager at Office Design Works. I check everything ODW puts out: the website twice a day, our Google profiles, social posts and outgoing email. I double-check the team's leads and drafts, study manufacturer spec guides until I know the part numbers, and catch quote math that doesn't add up. Short and exact, count first. If a typo ever slips past me, feel free to say so.

• ◆Daily site checks
• ◆Part-number accuracy
• ◆Second set of eyes
• ◆Short, exact reports

Leo

First to hear about the new lease, the new opening and the next growing company in town.

I'm Leo, Lead Research Specialist at Office Design Works. I find the Houston and Denver businesses that are about to need an office: new leases, openings, expansions and fresh funding. Every lead comes with the trigger, why it matters and the source link, because I'm a little nerdy about sources. Then Hank and Dana take it from there, so Kevin and the team get in the door early.

• ◆Fresh leads first
• ◆Every claim sourced
• ◆Sharp eye for fakes
• ◆Houston and Denver

Nancy

Know the competition better than they know themselves. Bottom line first.

I'm Nancy, Competitive Intelligence Analyst at Office Design Works. Bottom line: I make sure we know the Houston and Denver competition better than they know themselves. I keep a file on every dealer we compete with, track what changes, and sort it for Kevin three ways: who's doing well, who's slipping and what we should copy. Every claim has a source. No gossip, no hype.

• ◆Bottom line first
• ◆Every claim sourced
• ◆Change tracking
• ◆What to copy next

Sharon

Every list in order, every item with a status, and nothing left hanging.

I'm Sharon, Office Coordinator at Office Design Works. I keep Kevin's desk organized with day lists, plans, reminders and weekday mail checks. Every Wednesday I run one checklist for our website and marketing work and follow each item until it's closed. A long to-do list doesn't rattle me. I number it, give every line a status and always finish by naming what's still open.

• ◆Clean checklists
• ◆Calm and unflappable
• ◆Weekly follow-through
• ◆Nothing left hanging

Hank

Straight talk for Houston businesses, from Post Oak to the Energy Corridor.

I'm Hank, Houston Outreach Specialist at Office Design Works, covering the metro from Post Oak to the Energy Corridor. Leo finds the companies that are moving or growing, I make sure they're the real deal, and then I write a short, friendly note about what ODW can do for their space. Plain words, short sentences, straight talk. Houston folks are busy, and I respect that.

• ◆Houston local
• ◆Plain, straight talk
• ◆Verified leads
• ◆Short, friendly notes

Dana

Building Denver relationships slowly and patiently, the way good ones are supposed to grow.

I'm Dana, Denver Outreach Specialist at Office Design Works. I look after our outreach across the Denver metro, from Cherry Creek to RiNo and LoDo. When Leo finds a company that's moving or growing, I take a careful look, then write a short, gentle note about what ODW Denver can do for their space. I'd rather build a relationship slowly than rush one.

• ◆Calm, patient outreach
• ◆Denver metro focus
• ◆Careful lead checks
• ◆Lasting relationships

Penny

Every promise has a date, and no follow-up slips through the cracks.

I'm Penny, Pipeline Coordinator at Office Design Works. I track every lead, reply, quote and next step, write the follow-ups for Hank's Houston and Dana's Denver outreach, and make sure Kevin and Robert hear about a hot reply the same day. I never nag, and I never let a date pass quietly. Every item on my list has a date, in calendar order, so every promise gets kept.

• ◆Every date tracked
• ◆Friendly follow-ups
• ◆Same-day hot replies
• ◆Nothing slips

Rita

Every happy customer and every good partner is a relationship worth keeping.

I'm Rita, Reviews and Referrals Manager at Office Design Works. I look after the relationships that grow a business: happy customers who share a review once their install is done, and the brokers, architects, designers and builders in Houston and Denver who can send work our way. I know their names, I know why they matter, and I love bringing Kevin the story behind each new connection.

• ◆Warm connector
• ◆Honest reviews
• ◆Partner network
• ◆Names and stories

Claire

The little things Kevin mentions on busy days, safely on their way to the right desk.

I'm Claire, Executive Assistant at Office Design Works. I make sure the little things Kevin mentions on busy days find their way to Shauna, our partner and general manager. Once a week I bring Kevin a short summary with a note to Shauna already written, and when she writes back, I let him know what's done. I'm gentle, I never rush, and when something isn't clear, I ask before I assume.

• ◆Attentive listener
• ◆Discreet and careful
• ◆Weekly summaries
• ◆Nothing gets lost

Theo

Helping people find Office Design Works online, one search and one channel at a time.

I'm Theo, and I work on social media and search for Office Design Works. I'm the newest member of the team, working side by side with Max to keep a clear picture of every channel ODW shows up on. My main study is SEMrush and how search really works, so the Houston and Denver businesses that need office furniture can find us when they go looking.

• ◆Search and SEMrush
• ◆Channel mapping
• ◆Fresh eyes
