"Noz was WONDERFUL. We covered so much during our hour call, including furniture/layout decisions, paint colors for multiple rooms, and wallpaper selections. She had amazing ideas I never would have thought of. Some designers I've worked with in the past (not through The Expert) have been so self-serious. But Noz had a collaborative, warm, playful approach -- asking me how we use the space, what our kids are into, etc. so she could help make our house reflect us and our lives. Highly recommend!"

"Noz was absolutely spectacular! I got more than what I wanted out of the call, and she helped me pick specific Pantone colors and Benjamin Moore paint swatches, among other things. She also made very interesting suggestions of brands and pieces I had never heard of but absolutely LOVED at first sight. Finally, Noz is uniquely warm and approachable and really tried to gauge my reactions to things, which not all designers do well! Outstanding. Well worth it and would do it again! "
