Client Experience

"WORTH IT! Jake was thorough, organized, understood my vision yet also challenged + inspired me to think in different, more creative ways about my space-- after months of design writer's block, that is just what I needed. Jake's suggestions were on the money, and I will be implementing as many of them as I can. What I love the most outside of his creative genius is pretty simple: he's humble and so kind."

Jake was quickly able to walk me through optimal changes on my construction drawings - especially on the 2nd floor where I was having the most difficulty. He was able to mark-up the drawings and make edits for me to share with the architect.

"This was our second session with Jake and it was just as amazing as the first. This time I was more prepared than my first session and had a layout drawn out with measurements which Jake has up on the screen (as opposed to just showing him the space in live time on the zoom) which made it a lot easier for him to quickly source furniture and play around with different layouts. Jake’s work speaks for itself and I highly recommend splurging on a consult with him for anyone on the fence! "
