About Darby:
Designing Since: 2014
Awards & Certifications: NKBA Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer (CKBD)
My Background: I had a 20 year career in the fashion clothing business before I discovered my true passion for design when spearheading a total renovation of my home. I enrolled in a Kitchen and Bath Design program at the Boston Architectural College, and started from the ground up trying to learn everything I could. Before coming to Norfolk, I was the sole kitchen and bath designer for a small firm located in the Boston Design Center.
What I Love About Designing: I love getting to know my clients and building their trust. My goal is to help educate you on the design process & help you stay on track to reach your goals to achieve a beautiful, functional space that meets your needs.
Advice For Homeowners Purchasing A New Kitchen/Bath: Spend time thinking about what you like and dislike with your current kitchen or bath. Look for design inspiration and share this information with your designer so that they have an idea of what you are looking for. Trust your instincts on what you like and try your hardest to not over think decisions that you have made.
Fun Fact: I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and a graduate of Indiana University. I lived in Miami, Florida and Hartford, Connecticut before getting married and making Boston my home.

Customer Reviews
We worked with Darby Kominik to remodel our very small bathroom in our condo in Dorchester and thanks to her, it looks amazing! Although the bathroom is very small, it now looks and feels twice the size.

My wife and I got excellent guidance from Darby at Norfolk Kitchen & Bath (Braintree location), who helped us figure out what we wanted, at a fair price! We couldn’t be happier with the result!

We had the pleasure of working with Darby Kominik on a recent kitchen remodel. Darby made many wonderful suggestions (especially the backsplash material) and was able to create a very functional design in a tight and difficult layout. The cabinet quality is great and the delivery process was easy. When we re-do our bathrooms in the future we will be going back to Norfolk Kitchen & Bath and would recommend that others use them for their projects.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I had during my kitchen remodel with the Braintree Norfolk K&B team! My designer Darby Kominik was such a pleasure to work with. She had great insight, answered all of my questions, and was so patient as I took my time to weigh certain project decisions! If you are looking for a top-notch professional team, I strongly recommend Norfolk Kitchen and Bath-Braintree!

We’ve had a great experience with the Norfolk Kitchen and Bath team in Braintree. Our designer, Darby Kominik, put together the perfect design for our small space, and was very helpful in providing ideas to maximize our space that we would never have thought about. We’ve been very happy with our experience start to finish, and would definitely recommend Norfolk to anyone looking to update their home!

During our kitchen renovation, our experience with NKB and with our designer Darby was excellent. Darby went above and beyond to understand our needs and created an amazing design. The cabinets arrived sooner than we expected, look great and fitted perfectly. One door was damaged during shipping (which can happen, nobody’s fault), but NKB customer support team took care of it right away after a 5 min phone call. We highly recommend Darby and NKB!

We loved working with Norfolk Kitchen. We recently remodeled our Cape house kitchen and working with Darby our consultant was a pleasure she was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Our kitchen surpassed our expectations and quality of cabinets was very good. Carpenter Johnny and his team were very good. I would highly recommend Norfolk Kitchen.

I can’t say enough about Darby Kominik, our kitchen designer at Norfolk Kitchen and Bath. We have never done a reno before and she helped us utilize every square inch of space in our small galley kitchen. The installation staff and project manager were professional, neat and did a wonderful job. We are thrilled with the finished product.

I highly recommend Norfolk Kitchen and Bath for professional planning and quality service on all remodeling jobs. Darby Kominick was the designer for my kitchen remodel and she did a fantastic job. She patiently answered all my questions and guided me to make the right decisions on cabinets, countertops, flooring, and hardware. She came to my home to make sure measurements were exact and responded right away to my phone calls and emails. She even went above and beyond to offer advice and photos for lighting. Darby is extremely knowledgeable and has tons of experience as a designer. I am so glad I made the decision to work with NKB and appreciate the personalized service that Darby provided.

We worked with Darby and the Norfolk team to design and renovate our outdated kitchen. The whole team was organized, patient and responsive. Darby designed a kitchen that we absolutely love! We are so happy with our new, updated space. We absolutely recommend Norfolk for your kitchen design and renovation projects.

We just had a total kitchen remodeling with Norfolk Kitchen and Bath. From the very beginning when we worked with our designer Darby we had a great experience. She was professional, really listened to what we wanted and was very patient (having to do many redesigns when I changed my mind!) and came up with the perfect design for our kitchen.
