### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Robin Schultz, Aug. 2026**

> We had a great experience working with Jamie on a complete gut renovation of two and a half bathrooms in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
>
> From the beginning, Jamie really listened to our needs, frustrations, and what wasn’t working in the existing spaces. She came up with a thoughtful layout and a clear path forward that completely transformed the bathrooms. One of her greatest strengths is her creativity and ability to see possibilities we hadn’t considered. For example, I never would have thought to go from two sinks to one, but Jamie saw an opportunity to use that space for much-needed storage, including a beautiful linen tower with a pullout laundry hamper. It was such a smart solution and made the bathroom both more functional and beautiful.
>
> Construction took a little over three months, and Jamie stayed connected throughout the project. She recommended an excellent contractor, helped us navigate decisions along the way, and remained engaged throughout construction.
>
> Jamie is also genuinely caring and invested in her clients. When we ran into obstacles or questioned a decision, she was just as invested as we were in finding the right solution. She truly wanted us to feel good about every decision and be happy with the finished result. That level of care is rare.
>
> Our experience with Jamie even extended beyond our home. She recommended a fantastic painter for the exterior of our entire HOA community and consulted on the colors. Her eye for color and design made a real difference there, too.
>
> Jamie combines great taste, creativity, practicality, and genuine care for her clients. She listens, thinks outside the box, and is committed to making your home both beautiful and functional. We highly recommend her. Work with Jamie, and your home will shine too!

**★★★★★ — Farouk Dey, Sept. 2025**

> We have no idea how we would have completed our remodeling without Jamie's help. As soon as we hired her, she jumped in with precise expertise, dedication, and kindness, helping us with every aspect of the project: tiles and countertops, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, color combinations, electrical plans, appliances, communication with contractors, and much more. She helped us get through unexpected last-minute changes by quickly pivoting and picking up new items for us.
>
> Jamie became a member of our family because she spent so much time helping us improve our home. We are now enjoying a perfectly put-together Mediterranean home with deep and rich color combinations and the ideal choices of materials. This wouldn't have been possible without her guidance.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Farouk, I thoroughly enjoyed helping you and your lovely wife create the Mediterranean home of your dreams.  It was truly a collaboration and I am so proud of the results.  The end of a project is so hard when I've enjoyed spending time with my clients.

**★★★★★ — kvwallace1, Jan. 2025**

> Working with Jamie sold me on not just the luxury, but the need of having a designer work on any and all remodel projects I take on in the future! At first I thought, "I'm not doing anything special, I'm not creating a showroom", but I decided to reach out and speak to her anyway to find out more about what she does.
>
> If you are making the investment to remodel (or build newly), talk to a professional who can take the ideal vision in your head and make it a reality! I had a lot of "wouldn't it be nice if..." ideas about the remodel, but figured they wouldn't all be possible, and would probably make it too expensive. Not at all! She got the picture of what we were looking for, gave us ideas to meet those needs, and then recommended dozens of other things we would never have thought of that really elevated the usefulness of the space, all while having it look clean and uncluttered.
>
> Also, my ideas were received from a total place of nonjudgment - simply looking at how we make them work, and if she had experiences that told her a possible idea could be an issue, she shared those completely from a space of workability.
>
> She worked amazingly well with my contractor and was able to take our ideas and "translate" them to make them a reality.
>
> Most of all, I was doing this remodel with my wife and let's say that we don't always have the same tastes and ideas. Jamie's magic gift was the ability to hear and speak to BOTH of our needs, making our decision making all the easier and finding ways for both of us to feel like we were heard and got what we wanted. This alone was worth every penny (and admittedly, it was a lot less expensive than I envisioned!).
>
> Reach out to Jamie, you will not be disappointed!

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Kim, I thoroughly enjoyed helping you and Laurie with your new ADU and living room.  Enjoy celebrating with your friends and family in those beautiful spaces.

**★★★★★ — Ann Timoney, July 2024**

> I have had the pleasure of knowing Jamie Price for several years.  When changes to our home and furnishings arose as a goal, I was happy to reach out to her and even happier with her help and guidance.  She flew into action and guided us on paint colors and worked with us and her furniture and upholstery source for furnishings our new home path.  She’s great!

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Ann and Howard, It was truly a pleasure to help you with choosing interior paint colors and purchasing furniture.  I can't wait to see everything when it comes in.

**★★★★★ — HU-879179722, May 2022**

> Jamie saved the day!! I was refurbishing our outdated dental office and did a great job getting 80% there but then I hit a brick wall. The paint colors were NOT coming together. Something was wrong and I didn’t know what!  The white wasn’t the right white. The blue wasn’t the right tone. The floor we had in another part of the office that we wanted to use throughout was discontinued. Decisions needed to be made yesterday! Jamie was quick to respond to my frantic calls. I started working with Jamie in the summer of 2021 so with COVID still looming and distance between us, Jamie and I connected via phone calls as well as zoom calls. We made final decisions together.  She listened to what I wanted and with a tweak here and change there, she helped me divert a design disaster. I HIGHLY recommend Jamie for your design needs. I will be using her in the near future to help me decide on the perfect colors for the exterior of our home and our interior cabinets.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Cindy,  I thoroughly enjoyed helping you with the dentist office.  I'm looking forward to helping you in the future.  I'm thankful to have discovered virtual design to help my client's remotely when they need it.  Take care, Jamie

**★★★★★ — tccronin, March 2022**

> Jamie's virtual design consulting service was a fabulous help to me in getting renovations done to our home. I have a hard time making decisions and Jamie was able to guide me through the process, make suggestions that fit my design goals, and help me keep on track to accomplishing my vision. I am thrilled with the results and look forward to working with Jamie on my next project!

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Tammy, thank you for your kind comments.  I really enjoyed our virtual time together to walk through all of the decisions you needed to make to do a mini remodel to update your kitchen and fireplace/TV wall.  The distance between us just wasn't a problem when it came to getting things done.

**★★★★★ — HU-891663122, Feb. 2022**

> Working with Jamie was an absolute pleasure. She helped with an office suite remodel and though it took many months (because of the business operating during all this), Jamie was there every step of the way and made herself readily available throughout the process. She listened to our needs as well as inserting what her professional thoughts were as many decisions needed to be made. She was very patient, kind, and respectful in all aspects as she interacted with a variety of trades people as well as in-office staff. Her ‘eye’ of style is spot-on with a great balance of beauty and function. Coming into the office is such a delight now thanks to Jamie.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hello Dedra, Thank you for your kind comments.  I thoroughly enjoyed helping you and your staff with the updated transformation of your office suite.

**★★★★★ — Kristina Rust, Feb. 2022**

> Jamie is a wonderful designer.  She listens to your needs/wants and offers wonderful ideas and suggestions.  She is terrific at helping you navigate through the various design decisions and is there to help you create a space you'll love. I so appreciate her help and guidance in choosing couches for my home. She made narrowing down the choices so much easier.  I can't wait to get my couches!

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Kristina, I really enjoyed helping you choose the best couches for your family and family room. I can't wait, although we have to for a very long time :)  Thank you for going with my idea of a small sofa instead of the standard loveseat.  You're going to love the extra inches!!

**★★★★★ — Tracey Davis, Feb. 2021**

> What a fabulous experience! Jamie helped me update my living room and kitchen by looking at what I had and then offering suggestions on how to rearrange items to make better use of my space. We moved a few wall hangings (and when I say "we" I really mean "she") and it gave my rooms a totally new look. She then gave me a few suggestions on little touches to add that were all very affordable (I am working with a very tight budget). I made a few purchases and with what she did paired with what I bought, I really felt like I got a brand new space. It was so easy and Jamie has a great eye. She even sent me a variety of suggestions after she left and had more time to think about my rooms. I had an excellent experience and I highly recommend you work with Design Compass!

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Thank you so much Tracey!  I really enjoyed our time together and love the fact that your cherished quilt is enhancing your dining room so beautifully!

**★★★★★ — albitaalamillo, Dec. 2020**

> I have always done my own decorating because I don't like being told what to do. Besides my style is a little on the maximalism side so I wasn't sure what to expect when working with a professional. What got me into asking for help was the fact that 1.- When it comes to my backyard, I'd been stuck for years, and two, that she lets the client choose and decide. I knew what I didn't want (classy, elegant, or minimalist) But I didn't know what I wanted.
> Jamie gave me wonderful ideas honoring my gypsy, boho, full of color, full of lights, full of plants style. My backyard is in the process of being remodeled right now and she helped me do a great job while allowing me to display my personality on my project. She's also so nice and pleasant that you feel you are working with a good friend that doesn't judge you. All the opposite, my ideas were welcomed with kindness and a sincere willingness to help.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Alba, Thank you so much for this wonderful review.  I appreciate being able to help you bring your vision to life!  We're going to have fun :)

**★★★★★ — Lisa Poon, April 2020**

> I love working with Jamie!  I had been wanting to refresh my home for a long time but being a single mom with 2 teenagers in the house, it was an overwhelming project to start.  Jamie was the perfect partner to help me figure out all the who, what, when and how's. She introduced me to great organizers and contractors to get things going. I appreciated her patience and creative expertise when working through the many design decisions for my family room, living room and kitchen. Jamie is truly dedicated to helping you create a space that you will love and enjoy.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I thoroughly enjoyed helping you with your home.  We made some great decisions and I can't wait to see everything in person when we can.

**★★★★★ — Cindy Borges, April 2020**

> I currently worked with Jamie on my home remodel. She always responded very quickly to my calls and questions. Her recommendations were always spot on.  She wanted to know what was important not only to me but also to my husband.  Jamie would make great suggestions and inform me of what to look for in my kitchen setup. She took the time to help me out when I was ordering my cabinets. She checked over my plans to make sure we had all of the necessary storage covered. She had good perspective and really listened to my needs. She was like a great team mate working with us to make sure we got everything we needed and wanted.

**Comment from Design Compass:**

> Hi Cindy,  I so enjoyed working with you and Dan on your kitchen remodel.  I can't wait to see it all finished as soon as I can!  I'd love to see progress photos too!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the backsplash! What Luanda bay pattern and color is it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is it still available?

A: I was able to find the pattern on the Luanda Bay website, but the color isn't available anymore.  It is Vineyard.  I love the warm and cool tones together that go well with the natural cherry cabinets and blends the tones of water and sand.  Good Luck!

**Q: Can you pls let me know the wall paint used? looks nice!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello Ying, The blue paint color is Benjamin Moore's Sunday Drive.  It is very relaxing.

**Q: Can you please tell me what you used for backsplash?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I specified a beveled subway tile.  It has a nice reflective quality. It's tricky to set it correctly so make sure to talk to the tile store on how to lay it out best.

**Q: Countertop quartz?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please can you tell me the countertop quartz? Thanks

A: Yes, the countertop is Caesarstone's new quartz color Taj Royale. It looks like Taj Mahal Quartzite.
