Cindi is excellent - she has a wonderful design "eye" - and offers reasonable suggestions. She can work with any level of budget. In addition, she has wonderful workmen so you don't have to find the contractor yourself. Her rates are reasonable. She is very well organized and stays on top of all the details throughout the project. I recommend her without hesitation. Cindy G. read more

While there is some design talent here (basically copying other peoples designs) - organization and clear consider communication is clearly lacking. Hire a business assistant. Take a course. When someone is spending my $$$$ I need information. We got 2 spreadsheets not one so we had to sit and cross reference. The frustration was real and frequent. Hire someone else. read more

I highly recommend Cindi at Desert Life Designs! My husband I bought a rental property that needed to be furnished and since this was our first time furnishing a rental property, we were overwhelmed and had no idea where to start! When I talked with Cindi she was calm and reassuring and we knew that she was the designer we wanted to work with. She immediately got to work providing us with options for each room. She got our vision for the property and took into account the architecture of the outside of the building, the layout inside and our budget and timeframe. She provided so many resources for us - we never would have been able to have had this property up and running without her valuable help. She is professional, prompt, available, and overall a really kind person! I can't thank her enough for all her work!! The property looks AMAZING; better than we ever could have imagined! read more

Cindi and Desert Life helped me integrate into the Coachella Valley market seamlessly and with minimal frustration. This was my first venture into property investment and vacation rentals and Cindi not only worked with my budget, but also gave fantabulous recommendations, went above and beyond my expectations in preparing the property for rentals and continues to be a reliable source to get things done. She has a lot of contacts, from cleaning crews, to contractors and gardeners, professional photographers, electricians and maintenance crews; you almost wouldn't want for anything once you sign on with Cindi and Desert Life Design. Highly recommend. read more

Cindi and Debra we so great to work with! Responsive, timely and with very good ideas. i only had a small job, but they took the time and provided excellent service. Cindi was very aware of cost and professional. i appreciate everything that was done for my home! read more

Cindi has helped a number of my clients. Some were just getting ready to sell a home and she came in with her team and de-personalized the property (sorted, packed and repurposed items) and helped select and purchase (often with discounts) furnishings or decor to help sell the home quickly and for more money. I used her for this and sold my home for the record high price in just one week! Many of my clients have also used her to purchase and decorate their homes, often readying vacation homes for absentee owners or landlords. Cindi really listens to her clients and works within their needs and budget. She's a pleasure to work with. read more

We used Cindi to decorate a rental we purchased. We could not be happier. Cindi listened to us and did just what we wanted. She was quick and thorough. Highly recommend!!! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Cindi 2 years ago. We were excited to have been selected as her exclusive cleaning vendor for 50 plus homes she managed in the desert. We hit off immediately and soon realized we are perfectionists and complimented each other. I was delighted to work with someone of this caliber as it is tough to find in this industry. Thanks for hiring us Cindi, we can't wait to see what the hold for us. Your AWESOME! Team Zen read more

Cindi had a good eye and had talent. However, at times, she was difficult to work with and is quite disorganized. Her documentation and communication was redundant and unclear at times. My husband would sit with one document and I'd sit with another and we'd cross reference with a sharpie to understand the document. We had a professional photographer (who she recommended) take photos. We paid her go twice to our home, first to stage and then to accompany the photographer. The bed had wrinkles in it, a lampshade was crooked and a curtain panel was hung backwards. We paid her to her and supervise cleaners and they left garbage in the drawers, in the closets and in the garage, which she didn't notice. We had to get parts of the place recleaned (it's only 960 square feet) so how hard can that be to check. After 3 conversations and a request by us, she agreed to reimburse us for the other cleaner. I'd recommend a course in operating a small business because these are necessary skills. read more

I had an outdated rental which required major interior improvements, in order to be marketable again. I told interior designer Cindi what I needed and what the budget was. She went right to work and did such a marvelous job of completely updating my rental; including furniture, artwork, linens even going as far as to fully stock the pantry and refrigerator! This gal knows interior design inside-out. She knows the styles, trends and has an uncanny knack for what works and what simply doesn't. I trust her expertise and judgement. She saved me much time and the inconvenience of handling a large project, all by herself. I was so impressed at her work ethic, I hired her Home Watch Services, while the rental was not being occupied too. read more

Professional and solution oriented. Cindi is a joy to work with, and I am so thrilled to know her.

Cindi is exactly what I wanted in a designer. She visited the condo, listened to what I wanted and was quick to make recommendations. She shopped for me and with me. I loved her process of emailing 2-3 suggestions and then I could easily make a choice. She has a variety of great resources for painting, cabinets, furniture, deliveries, etc. Cindi is a not just a great designer but she is also a great business person. Very organized with clear concise and timely billing. I would highly recommend her. read more

Cindi did an amazing job in helping us transform our condo to get it "VRBO" ready. She really listened as to what we wanted to accomplish, worked within our budget and finished on time. Cindi has a true eye for design; she helped us select the perfect "gray" for our accent wall and turned our condo into a "chic relaxing desert getaway". Cindi was a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with the result and highly recommend Cindi and her team. read more

Cindi is a designer who really listens to her clients needs and wants. She also understands what the word "budget" means. These are two very important features when looking for a designer. She has a creative edge and thinks of ideas that I never thought of... plus, she's just a nice person. I've referred her to friends and will continue to do so in the future. Can't wait to see more before and after's Cindi. read more

Nothing but great things to say about Cindi. We were redoing the inside of our home and was stumped with paint color choices since we wanted a "grey" but having no luck finding one that didn't have blue or purple undertones. Cindi came in on our initial consultation, brought the most perfect grey color and we ended up using her with the rest of the house! She designed the master bath (custom mirrors, backsplash tile etc) bedroom (wallpaper, paint colors and bed pillows) and kitchen (custom cabinetry, appliances, pendants etc.) We get compliments all the time. She is on top of everything you ask for and really listens to what you want. She also over sees all the work making sure all components are right and look good. Every question I had was answered or fixed by the next morning. We will be using desert life design again when we do the next phase of our remodel. Highly recommend. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Cindi for two years now. As a vacation rental owner living 1,000 miles away, a good property manager is critical.

I would highly recommend her based on her level of responsiveness and customer service to anyone in need of property management services. read more
