She will help you get your plans and goals to turn your space into the desired dream you in mind! I highly recommend her, she is professional and fun to work with! She and I worked on a Volunteer Project together and we are both YES people!! **★★★★★ — houseofkings, March 2016** > Kari is extraordinarily good at what she does. She has an ability to work magic with a budget while keeping expectations realistic, but it is her eye for detail and knowledge of materials that will make any project she does incredible. **★★★★★ — barbrag, Nov. 2015** > It has been a pure joy working with Kari on the construction and furnishing of our new home. She helped with selections during construction, and then with furniture placement and purchases afterwards. A few of the highlights are: > > \* She has an amazing eye for color. She can pick just the right shade that will give the appropriate impact without being too garish or too subdued. > > \* She is fabulous at respecting our personal style and allowing us to use all of our favorite pieces from the past, and melding them with new elements. > > \* I particularly appreciate how respectful she was of our budget. She didn't make us feel guilty for not having an unlimited budget, and always presented a range of options. > > \* She is fun to spend time with! I realize that's not a statement about her design abilities, but I always look forward to seeing her. > > I could not recommend Kari more highly! I can't think of a single negative in fact. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2015** > Our architectural firm has been consulting with Kari for a number of years and have found her to be professional, creative and enjoyable to work with. We would highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Avenue B Development, Sept. 2015** > Keri is a great designer to work with. We have partnered on a few projects recently as well as a few in the past.
