I had a fantastic experience working with Design by Gil. From the very beginning, she was professional, creative, and genuinely attentive to my ideas and preferences. She brought fresh, thoughtful concepts to the table while making sure the final design still felt personal and true to my style. I was especially impressed by her attention to detail, communication, and ability to make the entire process feel easy and enjoyable. The finished space looks beautiful, polished, and far beyond what I initially imagined. For a startup, she already provided an impressive level of creativity and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and forward-thinking interior designer

Gil was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand the layout of the space, help choose appropriate items and helped me to make the most of the space. She listened to what I wanted and helped make my ideas come to life from color scheme to furniture. She is patient and professional and a perfectionist. Would recommend her time and time again. I thoroughly enjoy spending time in my space and didn’t realize how much room I had!

Gil helped me with two of my apartments, and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She first helped me with my 2-bedroom in Dana Point, where I wanted a relaxed coastal feel that made sense for being so close to the ocean. Before we even moved in, she helped space plan all of our furniture and made sure everything felt open, functional, and not too cluttered. We love to host, and since the apartment didn’t have a very open floor plan, she was able to come up with a layout that worked perfectly for our lifestyle. When we moved to Irvine, we had a smaller footprint and I was struggling to figure out how to make our existing furniture work in the new space. Gil came through again with the brightest and most creative ideas! She found ways to make everything fit while still making the apartment feel intentional, comfortable, and beautiful. I absolutely love how our new space turned out. Gil really has an eye for space planning and making the most out of a room. I’ll definitely be hiring her again for future projects!

My goal is to make the design process simple, collaborative, and approachable while creating a space that feels intentional and uniquely yours.
