### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Shay Hague, June 2026**

> Building a custom home is one of the biggest investments and most personal journeys a family can take on, and I truly cannot imagine having done it without Jill and her incredible team.
>
> We started working together about 18 months ago, and from our very first meeting, she made us feel less like clients and more like friends. She has a rare combination of creativity, professionalism, warmth, and confidence that immediately puts you at ease. Her entire process is thoughtfully designed—from celebrating milestones throughout the project with such class and fun, to ensuring that every decision, especially the larger investment pieces, feels comfortable and intentional.
>
> I came into the process with a fairly traditional design style, and she gently challenged me to think a little differently. She helped us evolve our vision into something more timeless and transitional, and the result is a home that is far more beautiful than anything we could have imagined on our own. She has an incredible ability to listen, understand what you love (even when you don’t know what you love), and then bring it to life.
>
> This is the home where we will raise our children and create memories for decades to come. That reality comes with a tremendous amount of pressure and emotion, but she somehow managed to take the stress out of the entire design process. She helped us discover our vision, refined it, and executed it with extraordinary attention to detail.
>
> I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is a truly special talent, but what makes her exceptional is that she is an even better person.
>
> I would also be remiss if I didn’t recognize Kim and Mariah. The three of them are simply unstoppable together. They are thoughtful, responsive, organized, and incredibly helpful at every turn. Their teamwork and dedication elevated the entire experience and made us feel supported from start to finish.
>
> This was one of the best investments we made in our home. Worth every penny, again and again.

**★★★★★ — jillksweeney, June 2025**

> “Jill Rae and her team transformed our very dated small kitchen into a true luxury space. From our very first phone call, Jill immediately understood what I was looking for. She has a wonderful sense of humor, which made the entire process enjoyable. Most importantly, she respected our budget and never made us feel like our project was less important. Working with Jill and her team was a fantastic experience from start to finish.”

**★★★★★ — Jill Rae Designs, LLC, Dec. 2024**

> Working at Jill Rae Designs has been an incredible experience where I have the ability to be creative and to grow as a designer.  It is a pleasure to work with an extremely talented team who is passionate about commitment to the quality of design and to the service and communication we provide to our clients.   The variety of projects that we  work on keeps the work fresh and exciting and brings new challenges and opportunities to learn each day.
>
> One of the most positive aspects of working at Jill Rae Designs is the incredible flexibility we have. In an industry often characterized by demanding schedules, Jill truly prioritizes work-life balance and trust. This has allowed me to focus on being successful at work, while still being able to give full attention to my family.
>
> In all, Jill Rae Designs s a wonderful place to work for anyone passionate about interior design. The positive culture, exciting projects, and opportunities for growth make it a place that I'm very proud to be a part of.

**★★★★★ — Brea, Dec. 2024**

> I absolutely adore working for Jill Rae Designs! From the moment I joined the team, I felt like part of a close-knit, creative family. Not only is the work environment supportive and inspiring, but the projects we collaborate on truly reflect the passion and dedication that goes into each design. Jill Rae Designs is more than just a company; it's a place where ideas flourish, and creativity knows no bounds. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute my skills to such a dynamic and welcoming team!

**★★★★★ — Courtney M, Dec. 2024**

> Jill Rae is absolutely amazing at what she does! Her talent and creativity as an interior designer are unmatched, but what truly sets her apart is how much more she offers. Her design studio is a treasure trove of stunning home decor that inspires and elevates any space. Plus, her holiday decorating skills are phenomenal! Jill is incredibly hard-working, detail-oriented, and has such a genuine passion for her craft. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to transform their home or add that extra sparkle for the holidays!

**★★★★★ — Lori Berisford, Dec. 2024**

> Our family has been working with Jill Rae and her team for a couple of years.  We started using Jill Rae Designs when tackling an outdated primary bath and have continued updating throughout the house - updating where necessary.   We are also about to embark on updating the remaining outdated bathrooms. Jill's eye for detail, ability to get our vision, all while staying within budget, is commendable.  She also pushes us in directions outside of our comfort zone while staying true to the design of the house.  We would highly recommend Jill and her team.

**★★★★★ — johnth06, Dec. 2024**

> Worked with Jill and her team to create a more elevated look to my Christmas decor. She was so great to work with and the final outcome was fantastic! She found unique and elegant items that made my mantle, staircase, dining table and outdoor decor look amazing! And she came in right on budget! I would certainly work with Jill again!!

**★★★★★ — Anne Olshan, June 2024**

> My husband and I started working with Jill Rae Designs about a year ago to give our living room and den a needed refresh.  We were newly empty nesters and the furniture we had was worn and mismatched. We decided if we were going to spend money on new furniture and decor, we should get some professional help. The final result is so much better than we expected and working with Jill, Kim and Mariah throughout the process was a blast.  They were so enthusiastic about our home and its potential and really leaned into the cool, midcentury vibe that we were going for.  We didn't have a proper entryway and they came up with an awesome idea to add a bar in the empty space by the front door.  They designed the entire bar, which is amazing and really elevates the whole room.  In the end, we spent more money than we originally expected because their ideas were too good to pass up, but we could not be more happy.  I will definitely use them again when we're ready to tackle more rooms!

**★★★★★ — HU-494614789, March 2023**

> We worked with Jill and Mariah via their “Designer for a Day” service. The ladies gave us furniture options, vendors, and measurements for our living room/dining room and then we executed ourselves. It was so great to have their guidance and expertise! We love the outcome!

**★★★★★ — kvivian21, March 2023**

> Jill and her team did a wonderful job helping us get our house ready to sell.  She offered excellent advice on paint colors, carpeting, lighting, home staging, and design styling. I'm confident that the changes we made helped prospective buyers envision themselves living here!  I only wish I had used Jill's services earlier so we could've enjoyed our refreshed look for longer. I will definitely be using her for any future design work we need.

**★★★★★ — Rachel Gorman, March 2023**

> We hired Jill Rae and Team for a gut kitchen renovation and wound up also using them to remodel our main living space, including the living room, and primary bedroom/bathroom. They are creative, professional, approachable and easy to work with. They have cool ideas, think out of the box, and understand design trends. Jill and her team were able to seamlessly lead us through the design process from start to finish (space planning to finishing touches)- they listened to our needs, coordinated with the contractor and all of the vendors and jumped in to troubleshoot any issues. We always felt supoorted. They made the process fun, helped us refine our budget and personal style, and took away all of the stress and worry about making decisions, which I never imagined was possible with a renovation. That meant we enjoyed the journey as well as the finsihed product. Our house now looks and feels like a home, and reflects our personal style- we get so many compliments! Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — wenmeyer, March 2022**

> Jill & Kim were amazing!! They really honed in on the look I wanted to achieve, while sticking to the budget allotted for the project.  They were so resourceful,& provided just the right amount of options to make my final selections. They were spot on down to the finishing touches. Thank you Jill Rae Designs for our dream master bath!!
