“We love Ranking Arizona because we have acquired new clients from the exposure it provides. Being listed within the top firms in our category has given us credibility with business owners and their professional advisors. It works.” Jim Afinowich, principal, IBG Fox & Fin Financial Group
“Ranking Arizona helps in our recruitment of employees and is an important component in creating positive morale. In addition, it adds credibility with everyone we do business with—including clients, prospective clients, vendor partners and even family members of our staff.” Bill Lavidge, CEO, Lavidge
“We subtly promote our ranking in our marketing materials. Because it is the voice of our customers, we feel it carries weight. I know when I’m looking for someone to do business with, I appreciate knowing the experience other customers have had and Ranking Arizona gives potential customers a great barometer for analyzing the customer experience.”
“The Ranking Arizona recognition is shared with our employees as acknowledgement of the incredible impact they are making in the lives of our customers, as well as in business proposals and marketing collateral. It is a great addition to our overall value proposition as an award-winning and trusted healthcare partner.”
Robert Anderson, CEO, Prisma
David A. Dexter, president and CEO, Sonora Quest Laboratories
“The Ranking Arizona recognition has led to multiple project awards, peer recognition and, most importantly, the recognition affords each member of the Team an unparalleled sense of pride and the organization as a whole enjoys a stronger morale.”
“The exposure from being listed in Ranking Arizona over the past several years has offered many benefits for our firm. Gensler’s name published at the top of the list has provided tangible dividends such as unsolicited calls for new business opportunities, as well as the attraction of top new talent to our firm.”
John Brunia, president, Spectra Electrical Services
“Ranking Arizona has been a tremendous tool for us that has given our institution immediate credibility as a small local community bank in Arizona. We utilize the recognition with both new and existing clients to strengthen our relationships.” Robert Anderson, CEO, Prisma
Beth Harmon-Vaughan, managing director, Gensler
“How the market perceives us and our reputation are paramount to our existence. We believe ranking No. 1 shows we live our values of integrity, trust, collaboration, respect, teamwork, quality and passion every day, allowing us to continue to grow and provide outstanding service to our customers.” David A. Dexter, president and CEO, Sonora Quest Laboratories

W
elcome to the 23rd annual edition of Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business. This publication is the result of the largest business opinion poll taken in Arizona. Each business category is selected by the staff of AZ Big Media based upon the business and leisure activities of Arizona’s business community. Determining who is best in any given industry is challenging, so we decided to turn to the residents of Arizona for the answers. Ranking Arizona is based purely on opinion. A company’s revenue and number of employees shouldn’t be the only criteria used to judge the best. Instead, participants who voted based their opinions on the quality of products, services and people. We also wanted to know which companies you would recommend doing business with and pass that information on to our readers. The bulk of voting takes place via our website (AZBigMedia.com). Our userfriendly website includes more than 20,000 businesses in more than 250 different business and leisure subcategories. Readers can go to the website and vote for their favorites in each sub-category. The votes are tallied each quarter then cleared out with the final tally in August. The results are then assembled and ranked according to their total number of votes. With a year-round visibility, Ranking Arizona is kept and referred to time and time again. We hope you will use this directory as a reference to help guide your businesses and families throughout the year. If you would like your business represented on our Ranking Arizona website for voting, simply log on to our site and follow the simple steps to nominate a company. My thanks to the staff of Az Big Media, advertisers and to all those who voted and made Ranking Arizona such an important part of Arizona’s business community. Congratulations to those who made our list. You truly represent “The Best of Arizona Business!”

igfish Creative Group and Lucid Agency have both been long-standing agencies in the Phoenix market, and their founders and leadership teams came together to launch Highnoon, a reinvention of the agency model. Highnoon is a full-service agency (digital, PR, creative, data, research, experience design) and consulting service firm (strategy, process and technology) all under one roof. Highnoon redesigned the agency model to solve business problems, and then execute solutions across all client platforms — from digital marketing and technology to offline marketing and public relations. Highnoon’s clients have a bold vision for the future, and Highnoon works with them to make it happen. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “We hire our team members based on a pretty rigid set of criteria, which has resulted in a diverse, experienced, passionate and hard-working team. Our team really cares about our clients, and the work. Sometimes team members will be at work until the late hours, toiling over the smallest detail. But in the end, that results in a sense of tremendous satisfaction and pride in our work, and it means everything to our clients. And it’s just a lot of fun when you really care.”

igfish Creative Group and Lucid Agency have both been long-standing agencies in the Phoenix market, and their founders and leadership teams came together to launch Highnoon, a reinvention of the agency model. Highnoon is a full service agency (digital, PR, creative, data, research, experience design) and consulting service firm (strategy, process and technology) all under one roof. Highnoon redesigned the agency model to solve business problems, and then execute solutions across all client platforms — from digital marketing and technology to offline marketing and public relations. Highnoon’s clients have a bold vision for the future, and the experts at Highnoon work with them to make it happen. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “We hire our team members based on a pretty rigid set of criteria, which has resulted in a diverse, experienced, passionate and hard-working team. Our team really cares about our clients, and the work. Sometimes team members will be at work until the late hours, toiling over the smallest detail. But in the end, that results in a sense of tremendous satisfaction and pride in our work, and it means everything to our clients. And it’s just a lot of fun when you really care.”

WaFd
Bank president Brent Beardall has a quote he uses to help people understand who WaFd Bank is: “Love What you Do. Make a Difference.” WaFd Bank does. And WaFd Bank does. If there was a hashtag for @WaFdBank, it would be #BankWithaHeart. WaFd Bank is big enough to matter, yet small enough to care. WaFd Bank is nimble. WaFd Bank is strong. WaFd Bank is poised for growth. From checking, savings and retirement accounts to home loan and corporate real estate financing, WaFd Bank is ready to help bring clarity to banking. WaFd Bank is 31 branches strong in Arizona and just getting started. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “If you have an idea, no matter your title, we can get you an audience with our local president. Every voice counts locally and nationally. The voices in our community also matter. Case in point: we helped provide millions in interest-free loans to those displaced by the 2019 government shutdown.” STRENGTH OF STAFF: “A quick story that illustrates how we’re different: Last year, our Payson branch was up for an award. When we learned they were winning, president Brent Beardall flew from Seattle to Phoenix, then drove to Payson to surprise them with dinner and gifts. That just doesn’t happen in other businesses.”

An opportunity is presented for each of them to do and be more, which creates a positive and successful team.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “The courier industry is ever changing. Payroll reform, insurance and the cost of fuel have had the biggest impact thus far, but new technology and competitors are always on the rise.” OUTLOOK FOR 2020: “Growth. We look forward to increasing our business by at least 12 percent over the next year.”

VSS Security Services is a 100 percent family owned business for more than 31 years. VSS Security uses the latest technology to the fullest extent to help security officers expand their capabilities for a safe and secure environment of the client’s facilities. VSS Security Services will never waiver from its commitment to maintain team spirit based on pride and mutual respect within the company and for its clients. VSS Security Services believes that customer service is the most important piece to a successful company, not the size of your company. IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “My main concerns will always be terrorism, cybersecurity and the random acts of violence. The other concern is that our industry — that was once made up of the ‘Mom and Pop’ and regional security companies — is being bought up by a select few international companies that are owned by investment groups and it’s changing the dynamics of the industry. Size and cash flow does not produce customer service, which is what VSS Security Services and all the remaining Mom and Pop security companies are about.”

hunderbird Artists has been the leading producer of fine art festivals in the Southwest since producing their first juried fine art event in 1981. It is Thunderbird Artists’ mission to enhance the art culture with local communities by producing award-winning, juried, sophisticated fine art festivals throughout the Southwestern United States. Thunderbird Artists has developed a reputation as collectors’ shows, due to its unwavering jury standards and unparalleled quality of fine arts. Each festival also features wine tasting, live music, food and delicious sweets. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Thunderbird Artists is a small, family-owned-and-operated business. It is run by a mother-daughter duo who have a sincere passion for the arts, community and love working directly with the artists themselves. Each family member puts their heart and soul into the business to create an ambience like no other. When additional staff is needed we generally start by hiring other family members or close friends. We find that working with passionate people, who truly care and will go the extra mile make a world of difference.”

Restaurants: Breakfast
hough Scramble might appear to be a national chain, it is not. Scramble is Arizona-grown with Sun Devil pride. So when you dine at Scramble, you aren’t feeding some out-of-state corporate super structure, you’re helping support our local economy, local farmers and vendors, Scramble’s team and their families and the local community that Scramble gives back to. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Scramble is a fresh look at breakfast and it all begins with using the freshest ingredients around. How we do it is no secret, we pride ourselves on using local farmers and vendors whenever possible. From your first bite to your last, you will taste the difference farm fresh makes.” STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Faster. Fresher. Friendlier. Our staff lives by our company motto to bring Arizona the freshest meals, by a team that truly loves what they do, with a quick casual dining style. Our staff make us who we are and inspire us to be better every day we’re open.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “Minimum wage will have the single greatest impact on the 2020 restaurant industry. Restaurants across AZ will raise prices and look towards new technology to offset the imposed expense increases. Here at Scramble, we will never sacrifice food quality or abandon our commitment to local vendors and local economy.”

uiessence at The Farm is “Arizona’s original farmto-table dining experience.” Dining at Quiessence is unlike any other experience in Arizona. As you walk up to the original farmhouse on the property, you see the lush and vibrant “Soil & Seed Garden,” where the freshest ingredients for your evening’s dishes have been sourced. Chef Dustin Christofolo determines each element planted in the garden to perfect his refined menus that change with each harvest. The flavors of the Arizona terroir shine through each dish with the unique layering of flavors and exceptional uses of the local ingredients. With the delicious vegetables, herbs and edible flowers from Quiessence’s on-site garden, over 60 fruit trees, eggs from its chicken coop, fresh breads, and meats and cheeses from other local farmers and purveyors, guests experience the freshest ingredients possible when dining at Quiessence. A truly authentic farm-to-table experience. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Our team is held to a very high standard to deliver a unique experience. They are all passionate and have a stronger work ethic than most. Our space was not built originally to be a restaurant, so having a team that can work around that separates them from a regular restaurant.”

IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “There is considerable uncertainty both economically and politically as we go into 2020. We have had a tremendous run with low interest rates and strong growth. There is a pervading sense that the great times are threatened by higher rates and potentially accelerated inflation. We believe this uncertainty will lead previously reluctant sellers to market.” OUTLOOK FOR 2020: “Financing markets remain strong and there is a huge amount of capital on the sideline ready to be deployed in the right opportunity. Sellers are becoming more motivated. This should be a very busy and fruitful year for Commercial Plus.”

Law Firms: Healthcare
E
d Comitz, Esq. has distinguished himself as developing, to his knowledge, the only practice in the country that is singularly focused on helping healthcare professionals and others collect their rightful disability insurance benefits under private, “own-occupation” policies. For three decades, Ed Comitz and his team have focused on winning rather than “managing” clients’ expectations. Comitz | Beethe knows the disability insurance industry’s playbook and how they approach high-dollar, “own occupation” claims. Comitz | Beethe staffs each claim/case with two experienced attorneys, provide their direct extensions to clients, and have a well-deserved reputation for their preparedness and dedication to protecting its clients’ interests. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “We are selective in the matters that we take, and key players in the disability industry know that if we accept a claim/case for representation, it is one that we personally believe in and will endlessly fight to protect.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “Over the past decade, insurers have been redrafting policies, adding exclusions, limitations and riders that have made it increasingly difficult for professionals to collect disability benefits without legal guidance.”

Law Firms: Real Estate
hree years in, MacQueen & Gottlieb (M&G) is making waves throughout the real estate law profession. M&G is undoubtedly a top-tier real estate firm featuring two of the top legal minds in the business. They are young, with the named partners 41 and 34, respectively, and are shaking things up not just with what they’re doing, but how they’re doing it. It all stems from the relaxed atmosphere perpetuated by Patrick MacQueen and Benjamin Gottlieb, the quality of whose legal minds is matched only by the loose nature of their constant banter and the light atmosphere of the No. 1 firm they have created. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Our strength lies in our people and our relationships with those in the real estate industry. We’re small, but in addition to the named partners, our legal and support staff has a wealth of knowledge about real estate law that belies the firm’s young age. We work hard to bring in people who fit for our unique culture and it’s paying off. And, outside of the office, we make time to teach classes and get involved in the community.” SURPRISING FACT: “We run the firm like a sports team. It makes things more exciting and keeps people engaged. There’s an atmosphere here that feels more like being in a traditional business than a law firm.”

Vein Treatment Centers
C
enter for Venous Disease (CVD) was established in 2005 and is the No. 1 vein center in the Southwest. Regionally, CVD is No. 1 with offices in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and has earned national recognition from its peer group, societies in its specialty and — more importantly — its patients. In addition, almost 27 percent of CVD’s patients made the mistake of going to a different clinic, only to come to CVD later with worsening symptoms and repeat procedures. The disease is progressive. Delaying treatment is a costly mistake. IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “Patients need to be seen by a reputable and experienced doctor. We’ve heard horror stories from patients who have been seen by other providers. Patients also need an insurance advocate who adheres to the insurance policy (rules) for vein treatment. Most patients don’t realize they are on the ‘hook’ for payment if the doctor doesn’t follow them.” OUTLOOK FOR 2020: “CVD has won this award for seven years. We want to thank our patients for their loyalty and trust. This is a testament to our staff and doctor expertise. It is worth your time to schedule with us and let us ‘treat your symptoms and touch your heart.’”

r. Gary A. Knighton has been practicing Bariatric Medicine since 1996 and founded his practice in 1998. He has been a resident of the Valley for the past 27 years. There’s no better place he’d rather call home and has built a one-of-a-kind practice right here in the Valley of the Sun. Dr. Knighton’s philosophy on helping patients lose weight is to never assume that any two people are the same. His multi-faceted approach has become an art form; his vast knowledge of bariatric medicine, ability to see beyond the obstacles and taking science into consideration truly make him one-of-a-kind. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Dr. Knighton’s compassion and first-hand experience battling with weight are what sets him apart from others. He makes it a priority to be involved the care of every patient that walks through his door, as well as the ability to spend extra time when someone really needs it. He never wants his patients to feel lost in the shuffle. He wants his patients to feel at home in a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. At the end of the day, Dr. Knighton won’t ask his patients to do anything that he doesn’t do himself.”

ounded by Gary Haydon in 1991, Haydon Building Corp began as a commercial building general contractor. In 1998, Gary saw an opportunity to diversify Haydon’s services and added a Heavy Civil Division to the company. In 2006, responding to market conditions that made landscaping services difficult to procure, Haydon added Earthscapes, a full-service landscaping company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary. The cornerstone philosophy of Haydon is to build longlasting relationships with their clients by providing the best possible service, value and experience. With three full-service divisions, Haydon is uniquely positioned to provide their clients with that service, value and experience by providing comprehensive, in-house expertise in all major areas of commercial construction. As Haydon moves through a second generation leadership transition, they are excited for the strategic vision and growth minded focus of legacy leader, Katie Haydon Perry. IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “Trends that we see having a positive impact on our industry are the continued private investment in Arizona, the continued positive population growth in Arizona, and the robust investment from Canadian and other international investors.”

el-Aire Mechanical, Inc. is celebrating more than 32 years in business. While it doesn’t seem like it “was just yesterday” to the experts at Bel-Aire Mechanical, it sure does not seem like 30 years. Bel-Aire Mechanical has paused to take stock on where it started, the journey to the present and the path to its future success. Bel-Aire Mechanical began as primarily a sheet metal HVAC contractor. Bel-Aire Mechanical quickly grew into a complete mechanical contractor when it added all phases of plumbing and pipe fitting. The past five years, Bel-Aire Mechanical has placed a great deal of resources and effort to grow its high-tech service and maintenance operations into one of the largest and most respected teams in Arizona. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Our employees are many of the best tradespeople in the HVAC industry - men and women who take pride in their crafts. Our seasoned veterans mentor the entry level and less experienced team members. Our younger people provide dedication and enthusiasm for our continued success, now and well into the future.”

Contractors: Tenant Improvement
jerk Builders was incorporated in 1986 and had its first fiscal year in 1987. Scott Bjerk started the company when he was 27 years old after working for several other contractors in the Valley. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Many of our staff members have been with us for over 20 years, which I believe is a testament to our work environment. We have many different type of projects and I believe it keeps it interesting and fun.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “I think the construction industry in Arizona is very hot right now. Employee retention and finding additional labor will be one of the keys to 2020.” OUTLOOK FOR 2020: “2020 outlook is extremely strong and I believe it will stay that way through the election year.” SURPRISING FACT: “We have been involved in construction for over 30 years and most of the people that know us wouldn’t be too surprised about anything we do. I guess the fact that we self perform metal stud framing, drywall, trim carpentry and electrical work might be surprising to some people.”

Heidi Tilson, PE Engineering Wonder Woman
Founded in Arizona by Bill Van Loo and Percy Coe in 1958, Coe & Van Loo Consultant’s long history demonstrates the continuity, consistency, and reliability our clients have depended on for over 60 years. We measure our success by solving design challenges, avoiding costly delays, and turning land into landmarks all while staying perfectly hidden and silent.

Ryan Weed, PE
Justin McCarty, PE Master-Flex of Residential
Recently CEO Ryan Weed opened up a bit on what’s coming up for the team and the local market.
What makes your team successful? Consistent high-quality design. Good relationships with municipalities. Continuous improvement.
Matt Olsen, PE Black Belt of Engineering
When we seal a set of plans, the logo and name means the project has a certain level of design due diligence. Even if entitled lots were to be sold to a new developer, the CVL brand name carries through and adds value to the next owner. Our long-term relationships with municipalities helps us submit plans that are more likely to be reviewed positively. When issues arise, we have a great deal of trust built up with municipalities, which allows us to respond quickly and efficiently.
Mega Mind of Engineering
Tell me more about how you develop internal talent, it seems like that’s a hot topic everywhere we look. It sure is! We’ve really shifted our company culture to one of continuous learning. We’ve invited clients for structured internal meetings to ask and really listen to what is happening in their world at various stages of project development.
Cassandra Alejandro, PE The Great Creator of Water Models
What does all that investment in talent mean for your clients? Clients have consistently told us that they appreciate having a team they know and trust. Our staff is long-tenured, many have been here more than 35 years. Our turnover is low, which means the engineer you trusted on your last project will be there for your next project.

COMPANY STRENGTHS: “One of Speedie & Associates’ greatest strengths is its consistent ability to provide a responsive, value-added engineering experience at a competitive cost to its client base.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “The long-running, record levels of development and construction activity, with increasing scarcity of suitable employee candidates, will continue to challenge firms to provide high levels of responsiveness with minimal increases in costs to clients.

he Design Element has cultivated its award winning business for over 13 years, delivering bold and tenacious landscape design. Rooted in a foundation of authenticity, creativity, loyalty, integrity and humility, the past year has been both challenging and rewarding with the outpouring of support since the passing of Jeff Anderson. The Design Element is humbled by its colleagues that voted for The Design Element to repeat as the No. 1 Landscape Architecture firm. The Design Element continues to value its opportunities to work with great clients, contribute to a creative team and have a positive impact on its community. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Collaboration outshines a competitive demeanor on project teams as well as when engaging peers. Our experience in the profession affords us the foresight to minimize potential issues and maximize unique opportunities.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “We still believe that as our natural environment continues to develop, there is a growing need for landscape architecture when designing outdoor spaces. Increasing awareness and advocating the importance of low water use in the arid Southwest adds value to landscapes that in turn, reduce dependency on natural resources such as non-potable water.”

Our management team was formed before we opened the doors in 2001, and we’re still together today.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “This past year has been amazing for the tile and stone industry. The tariffs enacted on countries that were dumping cheap tile into the U.S. has been hugely positive.

Home Builders: Custom
aBlonde Homes has been building custom residences in Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek for 30 years. When it comes to design ingenuity, there are few builders in the area who can match Tom LaBlonde’s experience, reputation and portfolio. From the initial blueprints to the last nail, LaBlonde Homes works with its clients to ensure quality and satisfaction along every step of the home building process. LaBlonde Homes offers fully integrated design and construction services that honor and reflect the requirements, preferences and vision of each client. IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “We are witnessing a surge of spaces that encourage gathering and play, whether it’s a basketball court, an infinity pool or a state-ofthe-art movie theater. Many luxury custom homes have wonderful outdoor living areas with all-weather entertainment centers, sophisticated conversation terraces and outdoor sanctuary spas. Also, kitchens are now acting as social hubs, so clients are looking to cook together and turn the kitchen into a user-friendly comfort zone with the latest smart technology in appliances.” OUTLOOK FOR 2020: “2020 looks to be a strong year with owners looking for home sites that provide them with the freedom to design and elbow room to live.”

Wiseman & Gale is a select group of imaginative people, influenced by the unique elements of the American West and a belief in good design – collaborating and contributing to each other’s work in order to create Wiseman & Gale’s signature one-of-a-kind interiors. The firm’s nine seasoned designers are impacting today’s most important residential projects in Arizona and around the country.

Wiseman & Gale’s committed successors and current partners are Patty Burdick, Jana Parker Lee, Holly Ogden and Scott Burdick. They are leading the creative “virtuous” cycle began by the founders, with talent and experience passing from one generation to the next.

oon Valley Nurseries began right here in Phoenix more than two decades ago with one location. By bringing a new, customer service focused approach and simplifying the tree purchasing process, Moon Valley Nurseries has evolved into one of the largest nursery and landscaping operations in the Western United States. Moon Valley Nurseries’ “You buy it and we plant it” business approach became so successful that it had to begin growing its own trees to keep up with demand. Moon Valley Nurseries still designs, delivers and plants, but now Moon Valley Nurseries is also the largest grower of box trees in the U.S. and has more than 40 locations across Arizona, California, Texas and Nevada.
Nurseries
STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Our employees contribute immensely to the relationships we form with our customers. From the initial staff on the phone to the crews that plant the trees at our customers’ homes, our employees are motivated to become the ‘go-to source’ for all of our customers’ landscape and garden needs.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “The new home market looks to be strong in most markets we operate in and that always can be a driving force for creating additional demand for our products and services.”

s a premier Arizona pools and landscape designbuild firm, Blooming Desert Construction has been creating extraordinary projects at affordable prices for more than 20 years. Blooming Desert Construction boasts an award-winning design group within the Blooming Desert family, with an average of 14 years of experience per designer. Supported by some of the largest residential licenses issued by the State of Arizona, Blooming Desert Construction’s highly mechanized construction division has installed more than 9,000 projects with proven success, including a perfect record with the Registrar of Contractors. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Creating and building is in our DNA. We have a well-established design group that is constantly innovating. This, in turn, pushes our construction division to be learners. The convergence of the two, I believe, naturally separates us from those who don’t travel the same path.” SURPRISING FACT: “I think most people would be surprised at how committed the people between these walls are to taking care of one another. Being able to put the guy in the cubicle beside you in front of yourself is beautiful. I think at this time we generally do that. I don’t want to take that for granted.”

n Jeff Mossman’s opinion, a completed project is only one that results in a client referral. Mossman takes pride in making sure clients feel as if their project is the only one the firm is working on at any given moment. “When I meet with someone, I listen intently, asking questions and talking them through the process to better paint a picture in my mind of where I hope to go with it,” Mossman says. Working within a broad scope of vernaculars, including everything from contemporary to traditional, Mossman counts “upscale elegance” as his defining signature style, regardless of the design each respective project calls for. “This type of sophistication is our stamp, our hallmark,” says Mossman of the 27-year-old, family run company. “We take no job for granted, and each job is precious to us.” Mossman Brothers Pools is celebrating its 25th year in the Valley. Mossman Brothers Pools is a recipient of Ranking Arizona’s No. 1 pool builder, as well as AZFoothills “Best of the Valley: Pool Builder”. Jeff Mossman also received 2014 “Master of the Southwest” honors, given out by Phoenix Home & Garden to professionals who are the best of the best in their chosen field.
COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Our involvement continues long after a pool is filled with water.”

Florist Shops
ichele LaPorte is a Certified Arizona State Master Florist with over 40 years of experience in the floral industry. She grew up working in her family owned florist and greenhouses where her love of the business began. LaPorte worked in several florist shops as a designer and in management positions and eventually, opened her own floral design studio, EveningStar Custom Designs. In December 2015, she purchased Arcadia Flowers & Gifts. “My goal is to create a lasting relationship with my customers by providing the most exquisite customized designs, with the highest quality flowers and botanical products.” IMPACT OF 2020 TRENDS: “Since we are a serviceoriented company and we excel in custom work, we really need to have direct contact with our clients, in person and on the phone. Although it is convenient to place an order for flowers online, the personal connection ensures that we have a real feel for what each person is looking for. There are so many ads on the internet that are misleading, so the consumer’s challenge is to get beyond the ads and find a ‘real’ florist. This takes time that most people don’t have, so my goal is to create an environment where my customers want the whole experience of purchasing their floral gift.”
