I recently worked with Naomi and she did an exceptional job…read more When I approached Naomi, I was struggling to develop a vision for my Austin home. She not only helped me define that vision but executed it on my behalf. I wanted to incorporate my love for Californian design accents while honoring the Austin-style architecture of my home. Naomi has the ability to blend these elements together through her thoughtful use of color, texture, and furniture. The quality of the materials she sourced exceeded my expectations, especially given the tight deadline I provided. With last-minute requests, she managed everything with remarkable organization and the same attention to detail as if she'd had more time. Would definitely recommend.

Penny helped us update an older home we bought on the Peninsula. She gave us lots of choices, had…read moregreat ideas ranging from very practical to outside the box designs. She was available to meet both during and outside of business hours. The project stayed within the budget we gave her and completed on time. Penny has a work crew that was really fantastic. Great craftsmen, who would redo something if it wasn't up to Penny's high standards. If her team committed to being at our house at 8:30, they were usually sitting in the cars outside our house at 8:15. I highly recommend working with Penny

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.

Was looking to remodel my 1965 Eichler and my architect had worked with UD before…read more She is a difficult individual to work with; my suggestion of a contractor she summarily dismissed. 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.

My husband and I had tried to pick a few pieces here and there by ourselves but we could never agree on anything. Celeste was able to find things that we both liked and worked for everyone. Once we started working with her, the process was so quick and smooth I wish we had done this much sooner. She was also very good at staying within our budget and listening to our feedback which put me at ease. She found a fabulous sofa for us, and a really unique looking lamp. She had wonderful ideas for the rest of our room which we will be slowly incorporating overtime and she also helped give me feedback on items that I would find and ask her questions about. We would definitely use ambience interiors again!

Building our home was extremely stressful and she was able to keep us grounded and help with everything from picking out tile, paint colors, light fixtures, furniture, hard-scape.....you name it!!! She has a great eye and is willing to work with you. She is always readily available and provides several price range options to work with your budget. I would highly recommend working with her. Don't do it alone, you will love the end results.

I had a very positive experience working with Kerstin our full house rebuild/remodel. Our project…read morewas extensive and including a completely new kitchen, turning our old kitchen into a multi-purpose laundry/mud/craft room, and three bathrooms. All required detailed planning on layout and materials. Kerstin created detailed schematics for the cabinetry and tile layouts for each of those spaces. She was able to assess my style and work with me in defining a direction on the rooms where I had very little idea of what I wanted. For rooms that I already had a picture in mind, she was very good at taking my ideas and helping me refine them, as well as correct some mistakes that I may have made on my own (you don't what you don't know). She also advised on other finishings throughout the house and helped me with color selection. The colors turned out beautiful and I wouldn't have been able to get just the right shades in some of the rooms on my own. My favorite rooms that we worked together on are my new kitchen and our master bath. Kerstin was instrumental in creating rooms that reflect my style, yet incorporate ideas that I would not have been able to generate on my own. I now have my dream kitchen and our master feels like our own private spa! All in all, I'm very happy with the results that Kerstin has delivered, and I would hire her again.

Not only did she have a good eye and sense of what I liked, she would always listen and implement plans following my feedback as well as add her sense of what she thinks would look good or better. Also, Inna used varied and different vendors of varying levels of cost so it didn't break the bank. From custom pieces of furniture to ordering things on line, quality was not a problem. This was not only cost effective but helped create the look and feel that I was trying to create in our home. I highly recommend Inna.
