Client Testimonials

"Augusta was very generous with her time! Gave me some great ideas and guidance with what to do with my new space. Also, provided some great sources and things I would have never been able to think of."

1:1 Video Consultation- with Augusta Hoffman, Principal
Verified by The Expert
"Augusta was absolutely delightful, down to earth, and extremely helpful. She helped me narrow down my living room furniture selections, and lean into vintage and antique pieces for my space. As a fellow female designer, we also discussed her business best practices within interior design. While she is incredibly modest, it is extremely evident that she is a rising-star and all-around tastemaker. Thank you Augusta, I look forward to speaking again soon!!"
