I was feeling very overwhelmed with the condition of my home. I felt it needed an update....a new and fresh look. Decided to take a chance with virtual services. Was not sure what to expect. Then came Johanna. She is AWESOME. We did the consultation. She walked me through the process...it was very easy. She offers information from her website, she provides links on how to measure your space, she sets you up for success....while making it a fun venture. She is easy to talk to, listens attentively to your thoughts and ideas and puts it all together to become a master showpiece! Upon her sending me my design summary, I was so impressed and happy that I chose her to do design work for my home. If I was asked to describe her work, for my entire first floor (kitchen, dining room and living room)....the word that I choose would be “STUNNING”. The final product was better than I could have imagined. Also, her fee for service is phenomenal. Working with Johanna was definitely a WIN! Will be using her again to do my bedrooms. Again, very happy with her service!

I was disappointed that she did not help with the areas I had concerns with which was taking our ideas and finalizing them to get our room deaignShe put together some nice designs but since we had a good idea of how we wanted things she left us on our own to finish the project and that is where I needed help. I wanted someone to help me put the room together and it is still unfinished. I have a home that is a blank canvas and it could have been a lot of extra work for her but I guess we will be doing it on our own.

Details: Design of 1 - 2 rooms • Office space • Living room • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Furniture selection • Lighting selection • Color palette / paint selection • Space planning / layout • Window treatments selection • Accessories / art selection • Craftsman / Farmhouse • My home, venue, etc.

I purchased an old Philadelphia row house earlier this year and was excited but overwhelmed with where to start. I had a lot of ideas but was nervous about investing money in painting and updating the house without some outside help. That's where Johanna came in. She read and promptly replied to many very long, sometimes contradictory emails from me until we refined what my vision for the house was (mid century modern / craftsmen / Art Deco). I felt like she really understood what I was going for and I loved all her suggestions, and I'm pretty picky 😜. I hired her for a paint consult and for adhoc decorating advice. I never thought I would hire someone to choose paint colors but it was SO helpful. All of the colors in the house flow together nicely. During the consultation we started with my Pinterest boards and she was able to suggest a few colors at a time and help me narrow down the best options, taking into consideration the adjacent rooms and the light in the space. It was a fun process and the best part has been absolutely loving the colors as they're painted on the walls. Additionally, she crafted beautiful decorative trim designs for 2 of my rooms. The contractors immediately commented on how well-done and comprehensive the designs were. She was very responsive for real time questions as the trim was being installed. Johanna helped me create some BIG MOODS in my house. Lastly, she suggested curtains and lighting throughout the house which have been game changers, especially in the kitchen - turning it from a pretty outdated space, to a room I really love with minimal work. Can't recommend her enough! Money well spent. Looking forward to continue working with her in the future.

Details: Full home design • Kitchen • Living room • Dining room • Bedroom(s) • Bathroom(s) • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Color palette / paint selection • Lighting selection • Space planning / layout • Midcentury Modern • Eclectic • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Johanna is super sweet and easy to work with. She listens to your needs and style and is thoughtful in her project proposal giving you options to work with. Together we came up with the desired look and she knocked it out of the park with the room renderings and furnishings. She gave me the motivation to design the bedroom of my dreams with the hotel look I wanted. I’m happy to say that it came out almost exactly as we had envisioned and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend working with Johanna!

We had the opportunity to work with Johanna - Rooted by Design on renovating a kitchen in a rental property. The kitchen was 50 years old and very dated. We worked with her remotely and we were able to communicate our vision and also our tenant's vision for the new kitchen. Johanna came up with suggestions that allowed us to have additional cabinet space by simply moving the stove over a few inches. She was professional and always quick to respond to our questions and concerns which ran from, type of flooring, color of cabinets, to countertop suggestions, and color & type of cabinet hardware. The quality of her work, the layers of suggestions, the positive nature of her willingness to recommend a color that would be functional, stylish and affordable but would still work in a 1960's ranch was refreshing and amazing!! We ultimately took down a 3/4 wall and opened the kitchen up to the living room and added a extended countertop with bar stools. We went with Gray -Harbor Mist colored cabinets and a gray toned Granite countertop as the counter top faces off against the back of a rustic Granite fireplace. The results are beautiful! The kitchen is so functional, but has the appearance of being so much larger now and brighter! Johanna is very creative and can listen to the needs of her client's and incorporates their vision into her designs! Highly recommend Rooted by Design!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For Design-Only & Full Service projects I work at a rate of $150/hour. A typical room takes anywhere from 20 to 35 hours to design, sometimes more if it is a large renovation or large open concept. At the end of the design, my clients walk away with everything they need to put the design plan into action on their own: a retail furniture source list with hand selected pieces to order, or the drawings necessary for contractors to begin construction. For clients with a minimum budget of $30K, I offer Full Service Procurement & Project Management. With this service I order furnishings from my trusted trade vendors providing you with high quality, unique and custom furnishings for a one of a kind look.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my Bachelors of Science and Masters of Architecture from The Catholic University of America. I am a licensed Architect in both PA & DC and always prioritize learning more about sustainable goods, products & materials when it comes to continuing education. I have 10 years of experience working on a mix of high-end restaurant/retail interiors, multi-family apartments, & adaptive re-use projects. My diverse background of project types has given me a unique perspective allowing me to balance the details with the big picture design.
