She was able to translate my vision into reality and I just can't say enough about how I love my new home! She was always calm and reassuring when I started to get overwhelmed with such a huge project and she was equally excited when projects began to take shape and then completed. Looking forward to working with her again on the second floor project soon. **★★★★★ — Pam Smiley, Dec. 2020** > Crickett has a great aesthetic and really hears you. She thinks of every detail and can quickly pivot when there are unforeseen challenges. She worked long distance from pictures and measurements of my current bathroom and really made her idea board come to life! **★★★★★ — Larry Joshua, Dec. 2020** > Crickett listen well to our ideas for the project. Crickett brought her experience and added great ideas to the project. Our experience working with Crickett was excellent from start to finish. **★★★★★ — Linda Windsor, May 2020** > Crickett has a very thoughtful approach to designing a kitchen. I met with her as the first step working with Kitchen Places (Ventura, CA) to update my 1985 kitchen. Crickett suggested good ideas to solve my old kitchen’s problems, while staying within my budget and making my kitchen look fabulous. She’s easy to work with, and knows her products well. She is also nice, considerate, patient, punctual, responsible, and responsive, and a creative problem-solver. A commendable, first-class designer. **★★★★★ — ellen marcus, Feb. 2020** > I met Crickett though the design center, Kitchen Places. I didn’t know if she could assist me since I had a lower budget than her typical high end clients. I wanted an entire gut job for my kitchen and an entire new extended layout, and I have quality taste. All the other design places could only quote me for the cabinets but she actually was able to give me a quote for the entire job. I told her what I was looking for, she scoped out my kitchen and and she drew up the plan before I signed the contract. With a few adjustments she was spot on with her design. She assisted me to pick out Cabinets, flooring and Wall tile and kept me on budget. Ok I decided to get the upgraded glass tile with the sparkle grout. So so well worth it. > There were a few bumps in the project since the cabinets came in damaged she sided with me all the way and coordinated with the manufacturer to make sure they were made right. > > I felt she was talented, creative and experienced and so pleasant and down to earth. I realize her expertise was Right On and to go along with her ideas. After 4 yrs of planning I have my dream kitchen within my budget. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Alargunsoro, Feb. 2020** > Crickett is an outstanding designer. She helped me figure out my style and created my dream master bath! She has an unsurpassed attention to detail, communicated clearly, and provided me with a lot of one-on-one time. Her creativity and dedication to her profession shows in the beautiful projects she designs and manages. Crickett is also very clear about the cost of big projects. She encouraged us to stay within budget by offering a variety of options when choosing materials. When I picked something that didn't flow or match, she was respectfully honest about how it would look. She handled all aspects of the job, ensuring everyone did their part correctly, and on time. She is exceptional at what she does and we look forward to having her design our kitchen in the future! **★★★★★ — Chris E, Dec. 2019** > Crickett is an absolute professional. She was our designer when we remodeled our custom home. She is creative, reliable and determined. The end product turned out even better then we had expected. We have and do highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Carol Simmons Funnell, Sept. 2019** > Crickett is our kitchen designer and we couldn't be happier! She is young, creative and energetic. Her knowledge of materials and function is superb. We have a beautiful kitchen that she guided us through. She helped us define our style and gave us great suggestions on choices of materials. She came shopping with me for our sinks, faucets, lighting, tile and flooring. We are looking forward to working with her on future projects (entry way and bathrooms). WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CRICKETT! **★★★★★ — Karen, May 2019** > Crickett is an amazing designer and fabulous to work with. Her ideas provided me with many more cabinets and streamlined my kitchen to make it more functional. Her selection of cabinetry and installer was top of the line. I loved that she would create the 3D design for me for a very reasonable price, but I wasn't required to use all of her contacts as I had many of my own. She is extremely professional and desires that you are 100 percent satisfied. I would recommend Crickett for any job you have around your home. **★★★★★ — Randy Holzer, May 2019** > Good person with good ideas, able to create computer renderings which helped us see what things would look like and fine tune the design. We are still enjoying both the master bath and kitchen. ## Selected projects - [Cucina Nera](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cucina-nera-pj-vj~7349372) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Sonoma Heights Kitchen & Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sonoma-heights-kitchen-and-family-room-pj-vj~7349382) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 20 - [Peaceful Primary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peaceful-primary-pj-vj~7349374) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Sonoma Heights Kid's Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sonoma-heights-kid-s-bath-pj-vj~7349380) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 6 - [Ventura Eucalyptus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ventura-eucalyptus-pj-vj~6448461) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 17 - [Coastal Waves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-waves-pj-vj~7349378) - Location: Santa Paula, CA - Photos: 12 - [Tri-Tone Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tri-tone-townhouse-pj-vj~6404706) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 9 - [Mid-Town Classic w/a Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-town-classic-w-a-twist-pj-vj~6262067) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 18 - [Transitional Shaker](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-shaker-pj-vj~5854282) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 13 - [Farmhouse Vineyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-vineyard-pj-vj~5637629) - Location: Simi Valley, CA - Photos: 21 - Description: A touch of the sweet south - [Contemporary Dunes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-dunes-pj-vj~5637050) - Location: Oxnard, CA - Photos: 6 - Description: Contemporary kitchen with High Gloss perimeter cabinetry and matte black island cabinetry. - [Revived Vintage Guest Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/revived-vintage-guest-bath-pj-vj~6408862) - Location: Ventura, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: his Mid-town Ventura guest bath was in desperate need of remodeling. The alcove (3 sided) tub completely closed off the already small space. We knocked out that wing wall, picked a light and bright palette which gave us an opportunity to pick a fun and adventurous floor! Click through to see the dramatic before and after photos!

This job was for a condo in Camarillo Springs and though it had its difficulty with hidden obstacles in the lowered ceiling and walls, ultimately my client got her dream kitchen and it really is so incredibly beautiful!

Usually a designer would shy away from removing windows but in this case - it actually made sense to do just that. Overall the client was happy with the layout and function of her kitchen so we just cleaned up all the odd jogs in the walls, upgraded to beautiful Wood-Mode Custom Cabinetry, new countertops, appliances and flooring. You can see there is still plenty of natural light to show off the gorgeous cherry wood cabinetry.

After redesigning the floor plan to work in a way that was chef-friendly, the room that once felt cramped and crowded suddenly felt open and airy. The second space was previously a non-functioning desk area and was designed into a beautiful bar for this entertaining minded couple transforming this house into what looks like a custom model home.

A: Hi there! These are from Restoration Hardware. They were purchased 4-5 years ago so I am not sure they are still around but perhaps they have something similar :) **Q: hi there -could you share this tile source? thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Absolutely! TileCo in Ventura, CA Project name is Joshua Res **Q: Does anyone know what bath tub this is?** *(in Photo Questions)* I'm looking for a similar tub so I'm interested in the make and model A: Thanks for your interest in my design! This is an Americh brand tub. You can google the brand. I believe it’s the only one that has that shape. This one is a left-handed tub. Hopefully that helps! -Crickett **Q: what material was used for floor of bathroom** *(in Photo Questions)* Im thinking of using Luxury vinyl … good idea? A: LVT/LVP is so great for bathrooms because it gives you the look of wood without any of the maintenance. It’s waterproof, inexpensive and easy to install! I highly recommend it! **Q: Love the bathtub! Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi! I'm looking into a similar project and love how you opened up the bathroom. Where is the bathtub sourced from? A: It is an Americh tub. You can find them online pretty easy if you search their website and then find a local store that sells Americh :) **Q: Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are the green cabinets? Thank you! A: They are called Eucalyptus Classic. That is a specific color to Design-Craft Cabinetry --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-10.*
