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.

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!

She is prompt, communicative, friendly, and very professional. Not only did Monica help get rid of years of clutter, but she also had very good ideas for how to re-organize our furniture to maximize our space. Moreover, Monica wanted to assure that my children would take away lessons for how to keep the house clean and organized. I was extremely impressed and very grateful for her help.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Artistic Kitchen and designer Julie Binik were highly recommended to us by our friends. Julie…read morehad designed a beautiful kitchen in their newly constructed home. 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.

Her eye for detail is thorough, and we were very happy with how she made it all come together. Kristin did a masterful job for us, and she is also friendly and easy to work with. After we had been unsuccessful finding the right countertop, another associate, Karen, recommended one that is perfect. We were extremely satisfied with the whole team at Artistic Kitchen!

We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations.
