When seeking out an Interior Designer to hire for your project it is so important to find one who can address your project through objectivity, allowing the Principles and Elements of Design to be the points where their guidence on your project are employed for your vision to be fully achieved, It is also important to work with a Designer who possesses the knowledge and skill sets of multiple related industry fields including construction, products and services, Having personal exposure to good design and a history of knowledge, experience and exposure as to how to work with people and the best ways to achieve one's goals are all critical skills that a qualified Designer ought to be able to pull from in order to not only achieve the desired end result but also guide through a perilous process, which it can be, in order to fullfill one's vision. Important also are integrity and accountability!! I have had the pleasure and good fortune to work with just such an Interior Designer here in Scottsdale, Arizona. I moved to Arizona from Southern California and though I was very pleasantly surprised by the abundance of on trend, great design, it was however, also NOT my experience that customer service at some of the most basic levels existed here. The sheer number of designer studios and retail establishments out here left me very disappointed as in most cases my entry to their establishments was treated with as much attention as a leaf blowing in the door...without acknowledgement or even the courtesy of a hello or even a nod to acknowledge I had entered as a potential customer or being a human being breathing in and out in their otherwise vacant stores. Prepare for a services culture shift if you plan to move out this way AND take my advice, reach out to Stefanie Rogan as she was the first Designer to show any assemblance of professionalism, engadgement or welcoming... it will be no surprise to you that she embodies all the greatest fearures of my above review and none of those which would be considered of the lesser discussed. Cultured, knowledgeable, objective and honest in her approach to her profession expressed through her role on my owm projects produce the desired outcomes and very happy customers, including myself in that number. Humility, professionalism and the highest levels of service are what I found in this very rare talent in this new place I call home. You deserve to have the best. I hope my review regarding Stefanie Rogan Interior Designer will help you ease your own process in finding and hiring the best. read more

I loved working with Stefanie! Her attention to detail both in what I want, and the "behind the scenes" work that I know needs to be done were spot on. She worked within the budget constraints and produced an end result I am very happy with. Her eye for detail and her ability to listen to me with kindness and understanding make her an ideal designer. Looking forward to working with her again! read more

Working on small design projects was a great way to make my new place feel more like me and Stefanie rally helped me along the way. Between simple tips, suggestions and finds for the perfect rug/art/texture/pillows etc she really understood the look I was going for and mindful of budget. Stefanie is so sweet and kind and is very good at what she does, loved my time with her and valued her support in this process. Working with a designer can be intimidating to some but she definitely puts you at ease and involves you in the process. Plus she has great connections to different contractors and handy people in the valley; thanks again Stefanie. read more

Her clients always seem pleased with her services and happy to recommend her to me and others they speak to. I am look forward to Future projects with her and her team! read more

Do NOT hire Stefanie Rogan to work for you or your company in any capacity! I hired her to work on a major remodel/addition for my home; subsequently, I dealt with her every day for eight months. Although she does have a good eye for color and design, Stefanie does NOT have a good eye for size, proportion or placement (perhaps a tape measure would be a helpful tool to use for someone in her profession!). She is also incredibly deceitful, manipulative, unprofessional, unorganized, inefficient, unfocused on important details and shockingly unknowledgeable about the remodel process generally. Twenty minutes into our initial meeting Stefanie began sharing highly personal details about her troubled romantic relationships. Over the next eight months she prattled incessantly about her online dating problems and financial and other personal woes. She was so focused on sharing her personal issues with me that it was always difficult to redirect her attention back onto my project. Stefanie constantly boasted about her decorating talent, which struck me as obnoxious and pathetic. She consistently made excuses while over-promising and under-delivering. Even though I had only asked her to decorate two rooms in my home, she never finished the job after eight months. On numerous occasions she told me about some perfect item she had found for my home, but could never produce photos or even tell me where it was located after my asking repeatedly. I believe that she was lying to me in an effort to convince me that she was earning her pay, and to delay finding pieces for my home so I would buy her personal property that she was continuously pitching. Stefanie also managed to continually inject drama into my project as she battled with my general contractor (GC), his subs, another client and even her own trades. In fact, her animosity towards my GC was a major contributing factor to my project's delays, setbacks and mistakes. Her own finish trades even shared their frustrations with me about her knack for generating and perpetuating unnecessary drama. Stefanie was very unorganized and inefficient. I had to follow up with her again and again on the same matters. I learned over time to meter out tasks in order to avoid overwhelming her. I could have done most of the ordering/contracting/scheduling/follow up work faster and more effectively myself, even while working full time. Her finish trades similarly complained that she wasted a lot of their time not only due to her unpreparedness and general cluelessness, but also due to her constant jabbering about her romantic struggles. For our shopping trips she never planned the itinerary in advance, so we wasted time visiting places that weren't even open. Instead of visiting showrooms in a logical order based on location, she meandered all over the metro area and frequently got lost. She also managed to lose the original keys for several of my new doors, which required me to spend hundreds of dollars to hire a locksmith. Throughout the remodel Stefanie demonstrated to me that she was completely out of her depth; she had clearly misrepresented her experience in managing large remodel projects. She never caught paperwork mistakes, whether they were errors pertaining to the actual order details or errors related to costs, credits, math, etc. She didn't notice obvious mistakes in my home, such as missing cabinet hardware, an incorrectly-sized furnace door, damaged tiles, an unseemly border between the floor tile and cabinets, etc. She also didn't follow through on more consequential matters, such as informing the cabinet vendor that my kitchen ceiling had been raised by two inches, or ordering more granite when my kitchen island was significantly enlarged. The worst part of my experience with Stefanie, however, was her general deceitfulness and manipulation. From the outset Stefanie deliberately created an "us against them" atmosphere with respect to the GC and his subs. She pilloried the GC for attempting to lard on kickbacks to quotes from his finish trades, which struck me as extremely hypocritical given that she was also receiving kickbacks from her own finish trades. She couldn't accept constructive criticism and became shrill and defensive when I challenged her. There is a recent Better Business Bureau complaint against Stefanie involving client theft, and an "F" rating for Stefanie on Angie's List from a client who claims to be have been harassed by her for having the audacity to dispute her hourly billings for time she spent telling him about her personal problems. After more than a decade in the local area, there is a reason that Stefanie Rogan not only doesn't have a thriving interior design business but also no interior design business at all (she sells toilets now) -- namely that her clients would never refer her to anyone they know! read more
