Client Experience
"I felt immediately comfortable with and supported by Max. He's obviously a very experienced designer with expertise and talent. I appreciated his thoughtfulness with my questions and in designing around a room that is spatially a bit tricky. I liked that he'd give me his opinion when asked and shared links and photos of furniture/rugs in real time. It felt like a personalized and specific consultation without vagueness or feeling rushed. I look forward to booking another consultation with him."
