Client Testimonials
"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."

"My time with Jake was so efficient and helpful! 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. On top of that, we were able to nail down all the paint colors for the first floor as well as the furniture layout in the living room. And we even covered interior and exterior lighting! So thrilled!"

"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! "
