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.

From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.

However, after speaking with her, I can't believe her lack of knowledge for my City. It appears she only knows how to build modern houses in Los Altos.

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!

When I finally purchased my house, I hired Ayesha to do a full remodel to make it look more modern. She was very easy to work with, answered a bunch of my questions and walked me through every step of the way and helped coordinate everything. She was also very responsive to emails and text. I told her what I wanted and she came up with several designs and worked with me to make several revisions. My contractor even complimented on her amazing work and how it was very easy to follow her architectural drawings. It was a fun project. Would definitely use Ayesha again for future remodels and would recommend her to anyone!
