Elias has made my new project much easier than I thought. Even though he hasn’t started my project yet (currently in the making), he has been super helpful, responsive and attentive! He is passionate about helping the customer and honest. I would recommend him a million times.

Elias thinks practically about the design options. His past "hands on" construction experience and knowledge give him the edge over other designers. His use of current technology for expressing his design concepts are excellent. I would highly recommend his design services.

Elias made the process a joy. He has an organized creative mind, that both welcomed input and challenged the convention. Not simply exceeding expectations; instead reimagining what normal can be. Thoughtful, careful, kind design.

We desired a remodel but had only a vague idea of how to accomplish what we desired. Elias stepped into our home and quickly saw possibilities that delighted us. He followed the project each step of the way offering guidance which kept our goals and quality of project in view. Working with him was fun and inspiring. We will gladly be working with him again on future projects.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Our highly efficient technology based organization and approach to each project we can focus on your needs and spend time on design that matters. This also means we can lower or fee much below market rate. I'm very open about pricing and can do quick quotes based upon project and client needs.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    New Homeowners, landlords, commercial and hospitality tenants.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    First and foremost: project timeline and budget. These are likely to change, but having a decent understanding in the beginning will help us shape the process and project goals.
