We believe in effortless style, well-appointed spaces, and graceful everyday living.   
Our intention is to continue creating spaces tailored to the individual client’s wishes and dreams; not ours. 
Our clients often find themselves in a daunting, time-consuming, whirlwind-like process of narrowing down and finalizing hundreds of decisions under the stress of meeting the compact building timelines prevalent in our area’s construction industry.  Builders and clients alike have come to find comfort and value in our comprehensive design process that follows the design theory that content dictates form and style.  Our itemized, step-by-step process delivers a more organized, relaxed and enjoyable approach that allows our clients to experience a self-exploratory journey into their future life and style. 
Feel free to contact us at Associated Design Studio, L.L.C. regarding any questions or a project you’d like to talk about.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jill Lawless, Feb. 2017**

> Our project was a complete beach house remodel.  We had from September 2015 to June 2016 to remodel our home in time for our grandchildren to come for their annual summer vacation. Erica and her associates at ADS are amazing! From designing, product searching, ordering and to installing, ADS helped me to create our dream home.  Erica and her organization are exceptional at working and communicating with each other, the contractor and the client to efficiently complete the project.  Erica's expertise was invaluable to us in this overwhelming remodel.

**Comment from Associated Design Studio, L.L.C.:**

> Thank you, Mrs. Lawless, for your kind words. What a fun project! The best part was that you envisioned family and love as the cornerstone of the design and I think that really came through in the finished product.  Enjoy!!

**★★★★★ — Colmar Kitchen Studio, Aug. 2016**

> Over the past 2 years, I have been working with the Associated Design team and utilized for cabinetry design. On each project that I have worked on with Erica, she has brought each client’s vision to life. She has an ability to bring fresh, unique ideas to every space.  Everything from modern commercial spaces to coastal-casual, and rustic lake houses, each and every project has had its own distinctive personality. Not only are the finishes on each project cohesive and dynamic, but also functional. Every consultation includes discussions on the day to day practicality of the space.Whether they are working on a remodel or new construction, the Associated Design team is organized, creative and prompt.

**★★★★★ — Associated Design Studio LLC, Aug. 2016**

> Working with Associated Design Studio (ADS) is like no other.  As an interior design professional who has worked with many other firms, I am impressed by Erica's unique design approach.  Her design taste and experience compliments her client's taste.  ADS is very deadline and budget driven, and is able to bring a variety of sources to make every project unique.  The design team works together to make every job run as smoothly as possible.

**★★★★★ — dptilton, Jan. 2016**

> Associated Design Studio provided exceptional design services for the renovations for our bedroom/bathroom project.  Their approach is to bring the client comprehensive design/procurement services to each project.  Erica Gordon is a talented designer who was able to translate our goals into a beautiful design that exceeded our expectations. Very creative.   An added benefit is her skill in developing detailed drawings that guided our purchases, the bid process and eventual construction.  The firm also provides product purchasing support through Angie Bera.   Angie is also quite capable and helped us source multiple products from plumbing fixtures to window treatments and was very responsive, particularly on weekends when we had time to work on the project.
> Associated was a pleasure to work with.  They kept their commitments, stayed on budget and provided good value for the price of their services.  They also sourced a fine team of subcontractors who worked well with each other and respected our home.

**Comment from Associated Design Studio, L.L.C.:**

> Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, for the review. We enjoyed working with you to achieve your design goals and appreciate the relationship we've built with you!

**★★★★★ — murphyocnj, Jan. 2016**

> ADS did a fabulous job helping us with our new home in Ocean City.  We had a very specific style in mind. They achieved the look we were going for, unlike a lot of designers who try to get you to do their look.

**★★★★★ — renezb, Sept. 2014**

> Erica was very easy to work with-she listened intently to our ideas. She really got what we were trying to accomplish in designing an open first floor that takes advantage of our water views.  We are enjoying the result now--which is a much more livable space and a design that is aesthetically congruent with our setting.
>
> The project was a complete renovation of the first floor--structural design as well as conceptual design including living room, kitchen and foyer.  Erica also helped with finishes and consulted on furnishings--fabrics, etc.

**★★★★★ — Maribeth Lerner, Sept. 2014**

> Erica Gordon and Associated Design Studio were a pleasure to work with.  My project was fairly large with a lot of details.  Erica kept everything on track and was responsive to whatever needed to be done.  I enjoyed working with her and all of her team and would not hesitate to call on them for anything big or small.

**★★★★★ — Weinstein Supply a div of HAJOCA, July 2014**

> Working with Erica is always a great experience!  She has a great eye for design.  We have worked together on several projects and her customers have been very happy witht he final results.  She and her team are professionals and offer design and drafting services.

**★★★★★ — lcs1414, July 2014**

> Our new construction home in Ocean City would never have been finished without Erica and her team…we only wish we had met her earlier on in the process. Associated Design Studios has enhanced our bay house in every which way. Erica not only helped decorate, furnish, and detail our home, she also corrected electrical layouts, redesigned structural flaws, and selected finishes that were tailored to our taste. She and her staff always have the best interest of their clients at the heart of their work, and go above and beyond the normal scope of what is to be expected of any design firm. We began our construction project with little direction, and Associated Design Studios held our hand along the way providing much needed structure. We highly recommend Erica and her team of highly talented individuals for all things residential - they will far exceed your expectations just as they did ours.

**★★★★★ — Daniel Scott Mascione Architect LLC, June 2014**

> We have worked with Erica and Associated Design Studio many times over the years and every interaction has been the same - Erica is professional, courteous, extremely personable, and displays a unique talent for design in all its aspects. Not only does she have a great designer's eye, but working with her team at A.D.S., she's able to execute the project quickly and completely - from selection of colors and materials to purchasing and coordination of delivery when required. Our most recent work together involved the selection of finishes for a public school restroom renovation project, and Erica provided a selection of schemes and specifications to help quickly complete the project and satisfy the client.
> I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Erica for any interior design job, both residential and commercial.

**★★★★★ — Diplomat Closet Design, Inc., Sept. 2013**

> I had the pleasure of working with Erica on a renovation job in Philadelphia.   From the start, Erica was on task and a breeze to work with.  During our initial walk-thru, she worked so meticulously and efficiently that I left in a reasonable amount of time, knowing exactly what she and the customer were looking for and what expectations everyone had.  This made my job MUCH easier.  She was there throughout the entire process, offering answers to any questions in a timely manner and providing feedback as needed.  Besides an obvious expertise in her field (the rest of the house looked unbelievable!), she is also a great person... friendly, easy to get along with, a breath of fresh air for any contractor.  I would highly recommend Erica and Associated Design Studio to anyone in need of her services.  A+

**★★★★★ — ciullor, July 2013**

> I was exrememly pleased with Erica and her work. She responded in a very timely manner and was always there for me when I had a question or needed her assistance. Erica helped me pick out a color scheme and a lay out of where my furniture would go and what I should buy. What I liked the most was that I could use her as much or as little as I wanted.  I am am not finished with my project yet but am very pleased how it has turned out so far.
