Denise Van BeekDesign and Marketing
Denise Van Beek (Crivelli) is a Bay Area Native and grew up in Fremont and attended Sacramento State University in the mid-80’s. She soon got the ‘Construction Sales Bug” and began selling for an Italian Marble and Stone Slab importer that was based out of San Francisco. |
After growing their California Import business, she transferred to Hawaii and opened up their Honolulu offices. After successfully growing that division, she came back to the Bay Area and got involved in the Residential Flooring and Countertop subcontractor business. Her focus was on New Construction Home Builders and her clients included Shappell Homes, Pulte, K&B and numerous other successful home builders in the Bay Area and Sacramento. After 14 years of a successful career as the Residential Sales Manager for FloorSpace/Peninsula Floors, with Sales in excess of $50 million annually, she decided to resign and focus on raising a family.
In 2007, Denise began DVB Design + Build and used her construction and design experience to begin developing and remodeling homes from the ground up. Jobs include 2130 Filbert, SF, which was a historical building built in 1865 that was the Ghirardelli Stables and a grocery store at one time. At the time of purchase, it was falling down and in desperate need of restoration. After a year and a half of painstaking work, the finished product sold almost immediately in a down market. Denise continues to be involved in the design and marketing side of DVB Design, while also focusing on family and charitable volunteer work. Denise has completed several additional projects in the East Bay after moving with David to Oakland, California, where they are raising their 2 girls in the Claremont Pines neighborhood. Denise Van Beek is also on the Board of the Oakland Chapter of the “Boys and Girls Club” and has been involved as a member and a sponsor of the Children’s Support League of Oakland which is a non-profit that supports women and children in need.
