Introduction: AlleyWorks Design Studio provides architectural, interior design and decorating services to residential and commercial clients. We do not follow a single design style, we feel that it is more important to have style and to create the environment that enhances the clients lifestyle or work environment, then to be obligated to just one style. Our work ranges from contemporary to traditional and each project results in an elegant, functional, comfortable, livable/workable space that is a reflection of the design intent. Working with our clients to create a space that they love to live in or work in and taking pride in their satisfaction with the finished project.

I am working with Didi, owner of Alleyworks, to help me develop a master plan for renovating my home, focusing currently on a color palette and specific design elements for master suite. She listens intently to identify my tastes and chose beautiful colors for painting my interior living spaces. We have established a timeline and budget for my decorating projects and Didi provides practical and thoughtful options from which to choose. I could not be happier with our working relationship and am confident that she will help me create a beautiful and timeless design. She can do the same for you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Didi was the Interior Design Studio Leader of my design firm, and I continue to contract with her in the course of my architectural practice. Her work with me includes residential, restaurant, and office interiors; recently, an apartment building in Berkeley and offices in the Wells Fargo Building in Sacramento. I continue to refer her professional interior decorating services to folks looking to create home interiors of distinction. Didi’s taste and style, sense of color, and knowledge of fabrics and furniture is superlative. She is current and modern, but sophisticated and authentic. She’s an artist; designs furniture and redesigns existing pieces to her client’s needs and comfort. Most of all, Didi is a joy to work with; empathetic and intuitive to her client’s individuality.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I present my pricing menu at the time that we first meet. $115 hour first consultation. $85-$115 for design work and sourcing. I may offer a discount depending upon location and job scope of project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I interview the client in their home or the location that the work is to be done. Assess what the lifestyle is or what work the client wishes to accomplish in the space. I ask the residential client to identify some style ideas and with the business client I discuss style and functionality. I then prepare a contract tailored to the job and include a retainer fee. Upon agreement I begin work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied interior design and architecture at Academy of Art in San Francisco and interned and worked for an Architectural firm for 5 years. In order to remain current and to have fresh ideas I take a lot of continuing education classes in design, current code requirements and research new products.
