She and her coworker Michaela were always kind, responsive, and thoughtful, even dropping off a cute white pumpkin with cinnamon and a bulletin board of swatches that I still use for school. I did end up pausing the project for budget reasons, but I did go with several of her coastal luxe product picks and I am really happy with them. If you are ready to splurge a bit on higher end pieces and want genuinely sweet, honest people to guide you, Studio Pierre is a beautiful choice.

JC is an exceptionally talented interior designer. I hired JC for an extensive remodel, and it was…read morethe first time I had worked on such a large-scale project. She was on board immediately, starting with the architectural design. She helped with critical decisions such as rearranging the floor plan, roofline, kitchen layout, windows, skylight placements, etc. She has a fantastic eye for color and textures and singularly worked on tile selection for bathrooms, fireplaces, hardwood floor color, kitchen cabinet color scheme, and the sourcing involved. Where JC shines is in creating mood boards. These helped me understand the overall feel of the interiors. She gets product availability timelines and your budget constraints, and I completely trusted her judgment on scale/proportion and product selection. When everything came in and placed where it needed to be---the result was simply stunning. The home feels like it came out of a design magazine. I recommend JC without ANY reservations---you would be lucky to have her on your team!

They took my kitchen project ideas and created spaces far above what I could ever imagine. I looked forward to meeting with them and watching my little kitchen space evolve before my eyes.

Guido is an experienced, creative designer with excellent taste who thinks outside the box. He went with me to pick my stone and backslash even offering to drive me to the Bay area for more choices. Victoria did all the 3D plans in order that my non-3 demential brain could see exactly what the space would look like, as well as the plans to submit for a permit. Guido and Victoria helped me pick and buy appliances, which is not easy these days. Every detail was handled including buying hardware. They even purchased for me so I got discounts. They created a three-ring binder that was a godsend for the contractor. They were my support system and I will never forget that without them, my gorgeous kitchen would never have happened.
