“We’ve been so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Cynthia for over four years now! Having never worked with a designer before, but with our backgrounds in the creative industry, it was a decision we knew we needed to make and hire the best of the best. We initially enlisted Cynthia’s help with our furniture and overall aesthetic, and we loved our first experience with Cynthia so much that we have brought her back for several projects over many years, including a full kitchen remodel, a bathroom remodel, our home exterior, and our bedrooms.
[She has gorgeous high craft and style.]
Cynthia has greatly elevated our aesthetic. She gently nudges us to be braver and more sophisticated with our selections, and provides many options to lead us in the right direction. We have two boys, and she always kept this in mind as she designed spaces that would work well for our family and still feel sophisticated. We’ve had many people come into our home and comment on how beautiful and curated it is, while still feeling warm and inviting.
[Her ways of working are incredible.]
We’ve worked with many creative partners in our home and professional careers, and Cynthia‘s professionalism and approach is stand-out incredible. She is super thoughtful, detail-oriented, and extremely responsive. She is so patient with our constant questions, and with us generally - she’s always following up to see if we have questions, and to help drive the project forward.
[Her approach is fantastic.]
She’s extremely detailed as she outlines every aspect of the project creatively in visuals that bring her vision for the space to life. We also love that she helps to capture everything that we need in an organized spreadsheet, because in this way we can refer to it over time if we’re not ready to purchase just yet (or wait for sales!).
We have worked with many top creative professionals in our careers, and Cynthia has the absolute best qualities of elevated design and craft, organization, and incredible collaboration. The perfect trifecta! We highly, highly recommend her!”

COMPLIMENTS
“I can't say enough great things about Cynthia. She has incredible taste, but perhaps more importantly is absolutely wonderful to work with. She was deeply respectful of my budget. She's a great listener, thoughtful, super-organized and smart; she was consistently responsive and incredibly thorough and detail-oriented.
She managed my project from end-to-end, finding the most exceptional contractor I could have asked for and giving him detailed instructions, as well as actively problem-solving every issue that came up.
I've been recommending Cynthia far and wide, and will continue to do so.”
-Danielle Peretore, Client | San Francisco, CA
There's just no one like Cynthia, in addition to an unparalleled eye and sense for genuine beauty, I am quietly astounded by her incredible professionalism — whether it was a difficult vendor, or a vendor who was backtracking on custom orders, or over the top projects, she handled everything expertly and graciously.
The project she undertook was no small feat but she saw it through even as the scope continued to shift and change. There's no one else I would rather work with and entrust completely.
On top all of this, she was so fun to work with and I miss our design get togethers since she's an absolute joy to be around and to work with!”

“Cynthia is amazing! I worked with Cynthia to design and outfit my company's new headquarters in San Francisco.
Cynthia guided us through the multitude of decisions required to finalize the floor plan, the electrical plan, and designs for the working areas, conference rooms, and common areas. At the outset, we discussed the high-level aesthetic we wanted for the office, and Cynthia ran with the project from there.
Her design proposals had panache and aligned well with our guidance, and she worked with us on substitutions where we wanted to find more value. She was quick to incorporate our feedback and completely reliable in managing the complicated logistics required by our tight timeline.
Cynthia put together a beautiful, cohesive environment for our team that is relaxed but professional. We are thrilled with the results, which often elicit compliments from visitors. We look forward to working with Cynthia again on our next project!”

“Cynthia is an experienced and tasteful designer. She understood what I wanted and, with the little direction I provided, created a design presentation with the elements and finishes I had envisioned.
The end result was that my home was transformed into a brighter and more airy space, with simplicity and understated elegance. Being extremely organized, Cynthia accommodated my short timeline for visiting the necessary showrooms.
She was always respective of my budget, and was open to my ideas but steered me away from the not so good ones. During the design process I emailed her numerous times and she always responded promptly. She was extremely professional and patient when I had second thoughts about things we had discussed, which made for a very comfortable working relationship.
I most definitely would like to work with Cynthia again, and highly recommend her.”

“I had a very positive experience working with Cynthia. From the beginning, she took the time to understand our aesthetic and project goals and tailored her designs accordingly. I appreciated that she genuinely invited feedback along the way, often showing different options to help us visualize the space.
She has great taste and helped elevate our spaces. We ended up with finished rooms that checked all of our boxes and we are still loving them! I appreciated Cynthia's strong communication skills and project management. She's responsive via email or phone, and she does a good job of summarizing things along the way (tracking sheets, vendor status, etc.). Cynthia stayed on top of the multitude of suppliers/contractors and ensured they delivered materials and work in line with our project timeline.
All in all, we found Cynthia to be a great designer and partner and are planning to work with her again.”
