TESTIMONIALS

 “Christy is an exceptional interior designer and possesses a talent for visual thinking. She has the remarkable ability to envision possibilities within outdated and dysfunctional spaces. Against the advice of many, we decided to deconvert a two-flat into a single-family home. Christy was able to see the bigger picture and unlock the true potential of our non-traditional environment.

She is an active listener who seeks first to understand clients' needs and how they will live in their space. She was able to streamline my many thoughts and translate them into workable concepts that became a beautiful reality. Throughout the process, she worked with ease alongside our many contractors.

Christy has a wealth of knowledge about furniture, art, sustainability, and design history. Thanks to the wisdom that Christy shared with me, I now approach interior design in a holistic manner and feel more comfortable making design choices. There is more that we want to do in our home over time but Christy was able to accomplish so much within the budget that we had available. She gave solid advice on when we should invest in quality and presented options when more cost-friendly alternatives were suitable. 

Our project ran over because of contractors that I had hired, but Christy hit all of her deliverables as promised and was responsive promptly. Payment was easy as was communicating with Christy. We are thrilled to have an ongoing relationship with Christy and hope to partner with her next year on design for a live podcasting studio that we are opening next year.”

“Working with Christy is a delight. She’s refreshingly honest and breezy about design choices which made me feel empowered and made me trust her more because I knew I was buying not just her expertise but also her ability to teach me. I bought some seriously good stuff for half of what I thought I’d pay and we don’t intend to stop any time soon.”

“Christy is fun and cool to work with. She takes her time making decisions, which might be frustrating, but she ALWAYS COMMUNICATES with me about why we SHOULD wait and not jump the gun. Seriously good find.” - Logan & Jamie, Lincon Square, Chicago
