“After interviewing three interior designers, we found Stephen. I can honestly say that he is every bit the designer we had hoped for. He is highly competent, hardworking, extremely detail oriented, truly takes the time to get to know one’s tastes, and is very patient. He is also willing to work with what you already have and blending in new components, without any pressure to buy new. Along with color and style, he also understands architecture, which is important when you want your decor to work with the style of your home. Stephen is always on time, he’s upbeat, and very fun to work with — he truly loves what he does and makes you feel like you are his only client. Finally, he is one of the finest people you would ever hope to meet. I highly recommend Stephen for any design problem you have!”

“Stephen was fantastic – he incorporated our ideas into workable and super tasteful choices for our kitchen remodel. He accompanied us several times to great designer places and made the process fun and satisfying, instead of stressful, and very successful as to outcome. We feel we obtained very good value, and a pleasant experience, for his design fee. The budgeting and billing process was professional. He also found a contractor that did skilled work with the kitchen cabinets.”
– Laurie Williams-Hall
“Stephen is a true professional. He was organized, timely, knowledgeable. He knew how to coordinate a small re-do of a 10-year-old redone kitchen, and a remodel of a powder room. Both turned out elegant and fit with the flow of the home. He was a delight to work with, and we will use him again.”
– Helen Wilson
