We had the pleasure of working with Kelly, and as a first time homeowner, I was naturally very picky in choosing the right interior designer for our home. After consulting with almost 5 ID firms, we were still unsure whether we should go with someone young and trendy, or someone older with more experience to deliver quality work. Thankfully, we met Kelly, and within minutes into our conversation, we knew she was the right fit for us. Kelly struck an excellent balance between style and experience, taking the time to understand our general preferences and then offering proactive suggestions to help us discover the “style” that we like. This was something that was completely missing in other ID firms we had consulted, who jumped straight into asking us what we wanted without first understanding and helping us to discover our style. (If we had known, we wouldn’t have required to consult ID, right?) Don’t be fooled by her youthful appearance :P She exuded confidence and knew the technical aspects of her job extremely well. During the renovation, I saw first hand how she managed and coordinated all the different tradesmen who were pretty senior (lighting guys, carpenter guy, plastering guys), with such ease and confidence. They all took instructions from her. Impressive lady. Admittedly, there were a few minor disappointments during the renovation process. We discovered that we needed to top up multiple times. At first, we were apprehensive about the extra costs that were not disclosed to us beforehand, and we shared our disappointment with Kelly. However, she handled the situation very well in explaining to us. Looking back in hindsight, after speaking with other homeowners, we realise unforeseen expenses are typical during a renovation. We cannot expect ID to warn us of every possible scenario. My apologies to Kelly! Overall, I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking for a competent interior designer who knows how to manage a project and has a keen eye for styling. Kelly is very warmth, and is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you, Kelly, for making our home renovation experience such a pleasant one! less
