We reached out a very last minute, and she was kind enough to fit us into her busy schedule without hesitation. That flexibility meant so much to us, and it truly set the tone for how thoughtful and client-focused she is. When it came time to stage our home, Susan moved quickly. Her eye for design is amazing and knew exactly how to make our home look both beautiful and inviting. Her team was also impressive. They were careful and respectful throughout the process, taking great care to pack and shrink-wrap our personal items for storage so nothing was damaged. They worked quickly, efficiently and handled everything with professionalism and kindness. The house looked stunning once she was finished, and we received so many compliments from agents, and potential buyers. I'm confident that her work played a big part in how quickly and smoothly our home sold. We highly recommend Susan Bacchi and we're so grateful for her help and would absolutely work with her again in the future!

Monica and her assistant Bridget surpassed all expectations. Monica quickly identified key problem…read moreareas and triaged our home organization to create systems that are not only highly efficient and logical but also aligned perfectly with our ideas and wishes. She has an uncanny ability to anticipate what people want--even when they can't articulate it--and always finds creative, customized solutions. Her customer service is next-level. She also gave us on-the-spot lessons in design theory, which I genuinely appreciated and can now apply moving forward. As we cleared out what had to be 20+ bags of clutter, she offered to take care of both trash and donations, and had a hauling service at our house within the hour. I literally told her, "You're making all my problems go away." If you're looking for someone who combines logistics, empathy, design, and wizard-level efficiency--Monica's your person.

She's got a nice "chill" energy and is a great listener. Monica is also part therapist, helping me to let go of things I didn't need or want but kept out of a sense of obligation to the gift givers. She didn't reveal any hint of annoyance if we had trouble making a decision on whether to keep, store, donate, or trash things. She helped develop realistic systems that we will be able to maintain well enough to key the house in order. We will likely hire her for a couple of other areas in the house. Monica's services are an investment, but they are worth it if you can afford it!

I'll be honest-we were pretty overwhelmed at the thought of doing a full makeover for our home. We…read moreknew we wanted a total makeover for our place, but trying to find a team that actually handles the 'boots on the ground' construction side and the high-end design is way harder than it looks. After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

The thing we super appreciated was timely responses and flexibility. It was a long project but she remained help at each step. She really took the time to understand our vision and lifestyle, and transformed our space into something that feels both beautiful and practical. Her attention to detail, colour selection and ability to maximise the space exceeded our expectations. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process, and everything was delivered on time. We've received so many compliments from family and friends, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable interior designer.

She is also a sweetheart!!

We started our home project with nothing more than a rough idea of what things were important to…read moreus. We wanted clean lines, modern yet still warm and livable, neutral & timeless. I met Pam, and on the spot, knew she was the right person to work with. Pam asked all the right questions and listened to what we wanted in our dream home. She completely understood our vision, thought of every little detail, and didn't overlook any aspect of the project that we felt was important. The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings. Pam's sense of style and her vision has positively impacted our quality of life as we enjoy her work every day. We are very grateful that we were able to work with Pam and Erwin. Our house would have not been the same without their creativity and vision.

She insisted on working with her 'team'. Mind you this is a former Google employee who has no formal training in design and fewer interpersonal skills. I've had better service at the USPS than with UD. In her response below she attempts to imply UD turned me down. The reality is she forced the issue of working with her contractor. Duh, who is footing the bill here Pamela? My contractor recommended the architect who recommended UD; and you attempt to commandeer the entire process by forcing the removal of the client's contractor? Recommendation: Avoid. Highly inflexible, domineering owner.

However, after speaking with Ashley on the phone and meeting her in person, I found her to be very professional and straightforward, even going outside the scope of what we had originally agreed for her to come out to take a look at. She gave her expert advice on the pros and cons, and also offered additional services for the future. Overall, a positive experience with Ashley and will be reaching out for future needs.

Ashley totally nailed it! We didn't know much about Feng Shui before working with Ashley, just had…read morea sense that things were a little "off" in certain parts of our home. She was able to come in and, within an hour, pinpoint exactly what we needed to bring more flow and positive energy into key spaces in our home. One thing that we wanted her thoughts on was a big ceiling beam over our bed. Most Feng Shui books I'd read recommended hanging bamboo flutes from the beam, but I couldn't bring myself to hang little trinkets that totally went against the decor of the rest of the room. Ashley was able to recommend a simple but effective alternative that made a huge difference. After implementing some of her suggestions, the energy has completely shifted in multiple parts of our home, bringing much more light and fun energy in. Here's the thing - energy is one of those things you can't measure. You just have to trust. But if you're here and reading this, there's likely some part of you calling out that the energy in your space needs to be shifted, and there's no better person to help you with that than Ashley. I highly recommend working with her!

She heard my need for a more eco friendly cabinets and suggested a brand that totally met my family's needs. I fell in love with the metallic color she showed me at the showroom - metallic champagne. It was so beautiful the first time I saw that and we had to have that for our kitchen. The final touch: cabinet pulls for my kitchen cabinets. Her suggestion was superb - a perfect match. Along the way of my remodeling, Julie came out to double check with the final measurements before ordering. Last but not least, remodeling comes with surprises, of course! We had to change the orientation of our kitchen island at the last minute. Julie went with the flow and made sure our order is still ok with the new orientation. We were also able to add an additional utility cabinet to our kitchen as a separate order. Now remodeling is done, we adore our kitchen. It is so gorgeous! We love our kitchen and it's the most beautiful place in our house.

Our project was a completely new kitchen and a bar area. Even with the recommendation, we did our homework. We talked with three kitchen design companies. We selected Artistic based on the extensive display of styles in their showroom, the workmanship and quality of the cabinets, and the price point (Artistic was not the highest of the 3 quotes given comparable design and quality). We went with DOCA cabinets knowing that had a longer lead-time coming from Spain. Julie was phenomenal to work with. She guided us through some key decisions regarding functionality, design, balance, focal point, unique features, and colors. The design process was very enjoyable and efficient. Julie was very professional and patient. She came to our house to take the final measurements. She was meticulous and precise. There were no measurement issues in our project. The fit was perfect and every inch of space was well used. The renderings were extremely helpful as we could envision the outcome. During the construction, Julie came on-site another time to answer questions from our installer. We encountered a couple of minor issues. Julie and Artistic Kitchen resolved the issues for us even though they were installation related. There was no finger-pointing. She was only focused on getting our desired results for us. We are enjoying our dream kitchen now, and we cannot be happier with it. We absolutely made the right decision with Artistic Kitchen, and we are so delighted to have collaborated with Julie. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
