I am eternally grateful having crossed paths with Jana Caron. She is an incredibly talented designer who also possess an ability to work extremely well with others, particularly those like me who can be indecisive and visually challenged seeing an end result of something brand new. She was very patient and accommodating when I needed more assurance on what the end result would be. She listened very carefully to what I hoped to accomplish and what appealed to me, and had a knack for reigning me in when I was all over the place with different design concepts. She kept me focused, staying on track with our agreed concept and she was excited about creating something special and making a statement to add to the vibrancy of downtown Salinas. Her excitement was contagious and gave me such confidence needed to trust her completely. She encouraged me to be bold and not play it to safe, which is exactly what I would've done, and I know in the end it would been a terrible mistake that I would've regretted immensely. She had great ideas and resources for new materials I was not familiar with. I appreciated her taking the time to investigate all options, while being very conscientious of budget. The project turned out so beautifully and I continue to receive such positive response to it from so many people. I am so proud of this project and am profoundly grateful. She has such a breath of knowledge with paint color, and material selection and consistency in keeping with the overall design scheme. There were days I was apprehensive and wanting to play it safe, for example with color accent, and thankfully she reminded me that our goal was to create something modern and exciting, not safe and boring! Jana was such a joy to work with. She's a talented and exceptional designer as well as a wonderful human being, whom I consider a friend and I hope to do more projects in the future with her. Thanks a million Jana! Eternally Grateful!! read more
