Introduction: My name is Alyssa Ray and I'm an interior designer based out of Wicker Park/Ukranian Village. I received my training from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
This is what to expect when working with me:
1. Free phone consultation
This will be a time for us to talk on the phone and chat about your project. I always make sure that you've seen my portfolio at this point because it's really important that our taste is aligned. If you feel like this might be a good partnership, we can either schedule an on-site consultation or we can jump right in and move forward with the contract.
2. On-site consultation (cost: $200)
This is a time for us to get to know each other and discuss your project at length. We will discuss your design goals and the possible changes we will make to your space. I will give you some ideas as we tour the space and we will dive into your design style so that I can understand your taste better.
3. Payment
I charge a 50% retainer up front based on the estimated number of hours needed for your project. If we do end up going over the estimated time needed, I will bill you in blocks of ten to twenty hours at a time until completion.
Tasks performed for your project will include: creating a 3D model/design concept/moodboards for your space, sourcing furnishings, sourcing inspirational images, all project related management, correspondance and meetings with you the client, contractors and any individual involved in the project, shopping and the like. Travel time is billed at half the hourly rate. I accept Venmo, Cash App, Zelle & Stripe (if you want to use your credit card).
Also, I will keep a detailed log of time spent on your project and will share those details with you as the project progresses.
4. Moving forward
Should you choose to move forward, I will send you a contract and the invoice for the retainer. Once those are signed and paid we are all set to move forward! For most projects, I will begin by recreating your space using 3D modeling/rendering and will convey my plans and ideas using that format. We will work together on Pinterest (for imagery).
If this sounds appealing to you, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I look forward to speaking with you!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Alyssa on a project to transform our new home's interior (family room, media room, foyer, and basement), and we are absolutely delighted with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Not only did Alyssa exceed my expectations in terms of design, but she also demonstrated a genuine passion for her craft. Her enthusiasm and dedication were evident in every aspect of the project, and it made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.
Thank you for your incredible work in creating a space we can call our own!

I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough!! When my husband and I purchased a condo in Lincoln Park, we wanted our new home to look amazing, but neither of us knew how to buy beautiful, durable, and stylish furniture and how to decorate the home in a way that we would like. We had also never worked with an interior designer before, and were worried it wouldn’t be affordable. We reached out to Alyssa, and she immediately helped us better understand the interior design process and was able to start working with us as soon as we were ready. Alyssa measured all of the spaces she was helping us with; created mood boards; created 3D virtual designs; and created a Pinterest board to help us get a sense of what our space could look like. Alyssa has incredible taste, and can work in any price range and can source from nearly any store—when we were comfortable spending more on particular items, Alyssa would find some of the most incredible items available; when we wanted to save on particular items, she would find treasures at very affordable places. She also gets us discounts on almost everything she recommends purchasing! My husband and I are in love with all of our furniture items, and the décor Alyssa found truly made our house a home. Every time someone comes to our home or sees pictures of our home, we get SO many compliments! Another thing that’s unique about Alyssa is that she’s an artist, and can create custom art pieces, which are spectacular. My husband and I were so surprised with how affordable Alyssa is – for both her hourly rate and her art. Honestly, we think Alyssa is truly a bargain. On a more personal note – I was recently diagnosed with cancer while we were working with Alyssa, and Alyssa had one of the most empathic responses I have received, and even brought over incredible homemade vegetarian food to my home to help me recover from chemo. So, after working with Alyssa for over six months now, I am not only extremely impressed with her skills, but am in awe of her person and character.

We’ve lived in our home for a while and decided it was finally time for a new look. Alyssa was incredibly helpful. We're both very busy with work but she was very accomodating and patient with us throughout the process - not to mention we love the design. She found great pieces for us to buy and even gave us discounts off the furniture. Thank you for all of your help, Alyssa! We’re so happy with the results! We'll definitely reach out when we need more help in the future.
We would highly recommend Alyssa for any of your interior design projects.
Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Bedroom(s) • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Accessories / art selection • Midcentury Modern • My home, venue, etc.

When we moved back to the city, we quickly realized our old furniture wouldn't fit the new space. We found Alyssa through Thumbtack and her portfolio matched our taste perfectly. Because this was our first time working with an interior designer, Alyssa walked us through all the steps, the timeline and the costs. She began by creating a brilliant 3D layout, made adjustments as needed, and helped us source all the furniture. She has a great eye for style and proportion. Alyssa even painted a giant custom abstract artwork for our living room (actually, she painted it in our living room because of the size). We are very happy we worked with Alyssa and plan to do so again for our next big project.
Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Living room • Dining room • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Accessories / art selection • Contemporary • My home, venue, etc.

I've had a great experience working with Alyssa on the interior design of my husband and I's new apartment. We just moved from abroad, and needed to tie in both our old furniture & decor with some key new pieces as well as match our eclectic/bohemian style with a modern apartment. Alyssa really helped bring it all together, and chose some amazing pieces that we fell in love with. There's no way we could have done it without her help.
Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Dining room • Bedroom(s) • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Accessories / art selection • Eclectic • My home, venue, etc.
