Adina has helped me renovate and remodel several properties. The last one was a quick renovation…read morein August 2020 for one of my investment rental properties. When you look at the "before-and-after" pictures, it is clear that the results of her work are impressive, even with the extremely tight budget and schedule that we had to work with. Adina's designs show her passion and creativity for developing living universes, that people want to immerse and surround themselves with, as soon as they see them. When you see one of her designs, you immediately feel the desire to be in that space. She has an impressive gift to transform spaces in ways you cannot imagine beforehand, with color combinations you would have not imagined, but when you see the finished product, you love them because it is absolutely superb and pleasing. It simply feels good... I enjoy working with Adina as she is very talented, creative, honest and daring. She is direct and confident in her radical ideas, clear on expectations, and punctual. I was surprised a few times by some suggestions she made, that I thought would not look good (...what do I know?), but I trusted her, went with it, and found out they were the best solutions for the spaces we were renovating. I LOVED the outcome. I learned not to second-guess her ever again, and to fully trust her. Whatever she creates, is going to look and feel great in the end! She is a perfectionist with a budget in mind. Adina's designs are "out-of-the-box", on the leading edge of creativity in art, they are modern, daring, and well balanced. The color schemes she chooses are always exquisite, delightful to the eye, attractive to the mind, and relaxing to the heart and soul. Adina's portfolio is surprisingly vast with projects such as Village Market in Chicago, Google and Leo Burnett offices, ISI Headquarters as well as various residential and hospitality renovations. She led the design and implementation for the Village Market - a large commercial complex in the heart of Chicago. I saw it first in a pencil sketch, then in 2D. She continued to work and I saw the first 3 Dimensional rendering, and ... 3 years later, when I visited Chicago, she took me to a location that gave me the same exact view of the Village Market as I saw last time in her portfolio picture, only this time... it was the real thing (brick & mortar), beautifully executed by her to match the original vision. Adina is highly conscious and efficient when it comes to cost. She has hands-on knowledge of materials & costs, and she has developed a network of strategic partners in the industry, who can provide you promotional discounted prices and/or expedited deliveries to her clients. She is a pleasure to work with, she is well organized and always listens well to her clients, understanding their needs and wants. She told me that her main objective in business is to make sure -in any project- the end results will meet her client's goals: architectural, financial, and timeline. With a well-controlled and tight budget, she is making wonders. I highly recommend her and her work to anyone needing assistance with an architectural project. Whether is a simple garage addition, a Media Room, or more complex project that requires an artful & attractive (art-tractive) design, an interior face-lift, or something done in a cost-efficient way, and done quickly, Adina always has the best (and usually most unexpected!) solution. It is worth mentioning that you will still have money in the bank at the end of the project she designs for you! You will be happy to see how much life Adina will bring into your project. Adina's work is an enchanting mixture of harmony, balance, and creativity that meet in absolute beauty. I hope you get an opportunity to work with Adina on your next project so you can enjoy one of her truly uplifting transformations. Call her / write now!

Stay far away from Jake Wittrock, JWCreative and Big Design Energy…read more While Jake does come up with decent design ideas, he has serious time and money management issues. He will lie about when items are ordered even though he has already taken your money well in advance. He provides no oversight over his vendors and they will more often than not screw up measurements and the installation of items. Jake claims he is too busy to even inspect his contractors' work even though the work is shoddy and you send him pictures to prove it. When confronted with these serious issues, Jake becomes defensive and outright lies so that he feels blameless. Jake also refuses to refund money that was never spent on items and services. I was fortunate to have paid Jake with my American Express card. When Jake refused to return approximately $35,000 advanced to him, I initiated a fraud claim with American Express. Jake protested the fraud claim by making material misstatements to American Express. After reviewing the fraud claim, American Express saw right through Jake's lies and returned the entire amount back to me. I am one of Jake's more fortunate victims and could not be more grateful to American Express for seeing through the fraud. Hire Jake Wittrock at your own peril. I regret ever meeting him and welcoming him into my home.

If you're reading this review, you've discovered a real estate professional who embodies all of these qualities. As first-time home buyers (and newcomers to Chicago to boot), we couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Hayley. From the moment we met, she took the time to understand our needs and preferences, patiently guiding us through the entire home buying process. Hayley didn't just show us properties; she educated us on the neighborhood dynamics, helped us avoid pitfalls, and empowered us to make informed decisions. What truly impressed us about Hayley was her masterful negotiation skills. Thanks to her expertise and strategic approach, we were able to secure our dream home for well under the asking price. But Hayley didn't stop there. She offered invaluable design advice for our new home, helping us envision how to personalize the space to fit our style. Her keen eye for detail and creative suggestions truly made a difference in turning our house into a home. Hayley is not just a real estate agent--she's trusted advisor, a skilled negotiator, and a genuine advocate for her clients. Her dealmaking skills are matched only by her candor. And, take it from us: you want honest opinions at every juncture of the real estate process. With Hayley, it's not just a job--it's a passion. She transformed a typically stressful rollercoaster into an engaging (and ultimately fulfilling) experience. And, that's not to say there weren't obstacles that cropped up along the way! But, Hayley's fearlessness neutralized every single issue. Hayley scored lifelong clients with us and we rest easy knowing that we've got Chicago's best real estate strategist in our corner. If you're in the market for a smart, savvy and dynamic real estate advocate, this is your sign. You've found her. Zach & Trevor
