As a condominium owner in Naples, FL, I enlisted the expertise of Diana for the renovation of my condo kitchen and master bathroom. The experience and results speak volumes about her talent and vision. From the initial stage to the final touches, Diana demonstrated an understanding of my vision while infusing her creative flair into the project with her ability to blend functionality with aesthetics. In the kitchen Diana worked wonders with the limited space without sacrificing style. Diana’s ideas, use of color and texture transformed a mundane cooking area into the heart of my condominium. The master bath also underwent a metamorphosis merging elegance with comfort, creating an oversized, spa-like walk-in shower that replaced a seldom used oversized Jacuzzi tub. Beyond the exceptional design skills, Diana’s attention to detail and clear communication alleviated my stress and concerns about the project. I am truly grateful for Diana’s design skills, attention to detail as her dedication transformed my living space. I highly recommend Diana to anyone seeking to elevate their interior design experience.

I had the most amazing experience with Di! I was looking for ways to make my apartment more cozy and she knew just what to do. Her eye for design and expert knowledge of plants is incredible. She knew just what plants would thrive in my space as well as pots that would complement my decor. She’s kind, customer-focused, highly professional, and delivers fantastic work every time. I highly recommend her for all your design needs!

I knew I wouldn't be Diana's easiest client... I'm very minimal in my personal belongings and wanted a home that reflected simple elegance. Diana was able to provide me with a hallway console to organize my book collection along with myriad plants and succulents to bring my cottage to life. She rearranged my furniture and household items in a way that allowed a tremendous flow of energy throughout my home. The reason that I say I'm not an easy client is that my living room is actually my gym, full of barbells and kettlebells. Even with this HUGE constraint, Diana was able to layer beauty in my simple/industrial feel. I was extremely impressed by Diana's quick responses to my request and meeting my two week deadline a full week early. I showed Diana a few ideas of some classic, but minimal designs that I was interested in. She exceeded my expectations with a warm feeling I never thought I could get from my living space. I highly recommend Diana's work quality and attention to detail. I feel at peace in my home now. It's exactly what I've always wanted! Thank you.

Working with Diana on my home redesign was an overall great experience. Her design skills are top-notch, and she has an incredible eye for detail. But what really impressed me was her ability to come up with creative conceptual ideas for each space. For example, we loved the “bones” of our home, but didn’t quite know how to fix it to make it modern & kid friendly. On Diana’s recommendation, we added a tile & stone fireplace in our great room, which is a stunning focal point now. Diana's knack for design is truly impressive. She knows how to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also perfectly suited to us. With 2 little kids, we decided not to have side tables, lamps, or anything that could break easily. All fabrics need to be easily washed (in the washing machine). Diana was knowledgeable and understanding of this. With her impeccable style and a solid grasp of design principles, she transformed my home into a beautiful and functional masterpiece. She effortlessly combined colors, textures, and patterns to create an inviting atmosphere that truly reflects my personality and my husbands personality! We both have very different taste, so we challenged Diana to come up with concepts that we both liked. And she delivered!! Diana was not only a true professional but also a great collaborator throughout the process. My husband and I can be difficult at times, but Diana listened to my ideas and concerns, incorporating them into the design while providing her expert advice. Her communication skills made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. She didn't just apply a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, she carefully considered the vibe of each room and came up with innovative ideas to make them shine. From designing a jungle themed nursery, to designing a sleek and modern kitchen, Diana's conceptual ideas added an extra layer of creativity to the overall design. She was very organized. She planned every step of the project meticulously, making sure everything went smoothly and was thought through. I can't express how thrilled I am with the results of Diana's work. Every time I walk into my newly redesigned home, I'm reminded of her amazing talent, dedication, and the creative concepts she brought to life. She turned my living space into a sanctuary that I absolutely love. Diana’s passionate, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any home redesign project.
