“When we recently decided to remodel a bathroom, Amy was referred to us by contractors with whom we have worked over the years and came highly recommended. She more than lived up to our expectations.  She is delightful to work with, a very good listener and understood the “feel” of the new bathroom we had envisioned immediately. Her design beautifully responded to our tastes and was in harmony with the architecture of the house.  The new bathroom, which is on the small side, maximizes the space. It is both elegant and efficient.  We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend Amy!”

“Amy was fully engaged in the 2014 remodeling our Berkeley home. The project started as a kitchen and bathroom remodel which morphed into a whole house reconstruction. My wife and I performed the “Owner-Builder” role which would have been a disaster but for Amy’s involvement, guidance, aesthetic sophistication and design concepts.  Working closely with us, Amy developed inspired space layouts, prepared plans for permit and selected fixtures, materials and colors. She listened to our ideas and infused them with style and solidity which transformed our typical stucco bungalow into a castle. She steered us to a finished product — our recommissioned home — that is cohesive, beautiful and extremely functional.

We did not know Amy before the project but became close to her during the process and would not hesitate to work with her again or to recommend her to others.”

“If Amy has time in her busy schedule to work on a design for you….engage her!  You will not be disappointed.  She is not only a wonderful designer but also is more than amenable to working with your perception of the design.  In other words, she listens.

I worked with Amy for nearly 20 years as the senior designer at my design/build remodeling company.  In that time I came to rely on her for design-oriented but budget-driven solutions to the clients’ needs.  Her interaction with the team that  put together the design (engineers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tile people, painters, flooring installers, etc) insured perfect outcomes and enthusiastic clients.

Always a pleasure to work with, Amy can be relied on.  I would encourage you to talk to her clients to determine that she is the genuine article!”

“Amy is a delight to work with! We’ve worked with her on two major remodels and have been extremely happy with the results. She is an incredible listener, and took the time to discuss and understand what we liked in terms of design and functionality. Amy is also very creative — after listening to our input, she added her own ideas, and then delivered several design choices that we loved. In addition, her attention to the details was much appreciated, and she did a great job managing both of our projects from inception to completion. Finally, Amy is extremely flexible, working well with our own contractor as smoothly as she worked with her own contractors. We highly recommend Amy, and look forward to using her for future projects!”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Amy a couple times. First, several years ago when she designed some replacement windows and most recently when she served as our design consultant for a kitchen and bath remodel.

Our home is older, built in the thirties, and looked like it was last updated sometime in the ‘70s. While it has many interesting features, the place looked and felt tired and old. We wanted to retain some of the character of the original house but needed a thoughtfulness reassuring and our contractor couldn’t say enough about her availability to answer questions and her attention to detail.

Amy is attentive to budget, has lots of great ideas and resources, and was a real pleasure to work with. We remain extremely pleased with our new space and fully recommend her as a design consultant for any remodeling projects. Should we do further work we will definitely ask for her assistance.”

“Our home is our retreat  from our busy lives solely due to the talent and creativity of Amy. Besides being an expert designer, she is honest and delightful to work with and helps you decide what you want for your project.”
