Heather Nazworth Stephens, AKBD
President & Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer
From her earliest days helping in her parents’ business, Quality Plumbing, Heather Nazworth Stephens knew she was drawn to design. Growing up in a family dedicated to craftsmanship and community, Heather discovered her passion for creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and lasting.
That passion has now come full circle. In September 2025, Heather was named President of Quality DesignWorks, the design-build remodeling firm founded by her parents, Bryan and Angie Nazworth, in Gainesville. Her leadership continues the Nazworth family legacy, joining her brother Preston Nazworth, who became President of Quality Plumbing in 2024.
Professional Background
Heather earned her Associate Kitchen & Bath Designer (AKBD) certification in 2017 and is a proud member of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA). She also studied Leadership Development and Communication at the University of Florida, skills she now applies daily in guiding her team and enhancing the client experience.
As a seventh-generation Floridian, Heather chose to stay rooted in North Central Florida, where her career and passion for home design blossomed. Over the years, she has grown into a respected leader, known for pairing technical design expertise with client-centered collaboration.
Design Philosophy
Heather’s style favors modern design techniques featuring clean lines, symmetry, and minimal décor. She appreciates the elegance of layered patterns, open layouts, and timeless, traditional aesthetics that remain client favorites. At the same time, she isn’t afraid to step outside the box with bold, creative solutions.
Her guiding principle: every design should authentically reflect the client’s taste and lifestyle. Whether it’s a lavish bathroom remodel, a family-friendly home addition, or a full-scale kitchen transformation, Heather ensures her projects are practical, affordable, comfortable, and beautiful.
Leadership Vision
As President, Heather is focused on:
Life Beyond Design
When she isn’t leading the company or designing spaces, Heather enjoys her church, traveling, exercising, and most importantly spending time with her family. She and husband Matt have three young sons, Anderson, Maddox & Winston. Much of her inspiration comes from her deep family roots and the small-town charm of Central Florida, which often influence the warmth and serenity reflected in her designs.

Bryan Nazworth
Founder, Quality DesignWorks & Quality Plumbing
As the Founder of Quality DesignWorks and Quality Plumbing, Bryan Nazworth has spent more than four decades building a family of companies rooted in craftsmanship, honesty, and community service.
Bryan and his wife, Angie, started Quality Plumbing in 1984 with a vision of providing reliable service to families and businesses across North Central Florida. In 2009, they expanded that vision by founding Quality DesignWorks, a design-build remodeling firm focused on creating beautiful, functional living spaces.
Under his leadership, both companies earned reputations for quality workmanship, integrity, and strong client relationships. Today, Bryan continues to serve as a mentor and ambassador for the family businesses, supporting the next generation of leadership as his daughter Heather Nazworth Stephens leads Quality DesignWorks and his son Preston Nazworth leads Quality Plumbing.
Bryan remains deeply connected to the Gainesville community and proud of the family values that continue to guide both companies.
