**★★★★★ — Alan L. Guzman, May 2021**

> Sani did the interior of our townhouse almost 20 years ago. It was not a big but it was our first-owned home. He did a fantastic job and we maintained his original design and style for so many years.
>
> I believe the Philippines is too small for someone with a talent and skill like Sani. And is happy to know that he is making his mark in a bigger market like Canada. So proud of the Filipino talent !!!
>
> Sani, thank you and more power !!!

**Comment from The Design Proposal:**

> Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot to me. :-) Hoping to work with you again in the near future!

**★★★★★ — Aileen Dela Merced, May 2021**

> The Design Proposal is very professional and has a flexible design aesthetic. We have done a couple of residential and our offices with them. I find that their strong grasp of colour theory and balance appeals to my aesthetic. I myself have come from an art degree but would prefer to trust my living spaces with this team. I hope to work with them again soon in my new home in London.

**Comment from The Design Proposal:**

> Thank you so much for your family's continuing trust. I will be forever grateful and looking forward for more projects :-) Take care!

**★★★★★ — HU-312325643, May 2021**

> Very creative and professional and good choices of materials according to your budget. The degree if honesty and professionalism is excellent

**Comment from The Design Proposal:**

> Im really happy that you're satified with my services. I always listen to my client's needs before I make any realistic suggestion to make sure that they will be getting what they deserve. Thank you so much.

**★★★★★ — Elena Dementev, April 2021**

> I am looking forward to get Danilo’s ideas again. First time, 12 years ago, he made my open concept living-dining-kitchens rooms in a new house look gorgeous. It seemed he had a vision from the very first time he saw the place. Wall colours, furniture arrangements, curtains, rugs, lighting, decorative items - all scaled well, work together in harmony without pretentiousness. This has been my favorite place in the house and liked by everyone.
> I was happy to reconnect with Danilo and looking forward to get my new home done.

**★★★★★ — Monika Dhodhi, Jan. 2021**

> Exceptional design skills, eye for detail and awareness of top of the line available product and trends! Super happy that this Reno happened for us not only we received endless compliments on our functional space but were able to get top $$ when we sold our house.
> I will be happy to give my business again!!!

**★★★★★ — Svetlana Volkova, Nov. 2020**

> Danilo Baluyot, as an Interior Designer and a Contractor, was in charge of renovating of our apartment a few years ago and we were so impressed with everything. He has a lot of professional input and helped us design our new home to reflect our personality. He is very creative. He helped us combine traditional style with a touch of modern, perfecting our original vision. All the work was done efficiently and well. We would definitely use Danilo's services again on any future renovation projects and recommend him to anyone looking for a professional interior designer.

**★★★★★ — traceygordon, Nov. 2020**

> Danilo guided us through a transformation including a full renovation of our home in London, ON.   His ability to understand what are preferences are, and align with his natural ability for design, resulted in a modern and personalized home for us.    He is naturally a friendly and passionate person, and his leadership was very well received by us.  We highly recommend Danilo.
> Tracey and Gari Gordon, London, ON

**Comment from The Design Proposal:**

> Thank you so much for the trust. Looking forward working again with both of on your next home :-). Cheers!

**★★★★★ — Angela Nicole, Nov. 2020**

> The design proposal team is very easy to work with. They present you with ideas which you can’t really say no to. Not because you want to say no but because there’s no point. They presented an initial design which everyone loved. What’s good about them is they assist you in every step of the way. Picking out furniture, materials, etc. they also tell you where to go to get the items you’re looking for. Although their boss is not in the Philippines, his local design team was very hands on and reports to him immediately so it feels like he is also here. It’s easy to talk to him and he’s approachable and very reachable(despite the time difference)He will answer all your queries and he makes you feel at ease. We couldn’t think of any other company to help us design our office and even our homes.

**★★★★★ — jannieluz, Nov. 2020**

> Danilo of The Design Proposal has set himself apart from other contractors we consulted because he took time to listen to what we needed for the renovation of our newly acquired restaurant business. He is very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. His ideas and creativity are exceptional.  The whole renovation project went smooth, easy and hassle free.

**★★★★★ — Cyclone Range Hoods, Nov. 2020**

> Danilo has a great design eye.  Always makes time for you and tries to incorporate your wishes into the overall design.  Very knowledgeable about the process of constructions and makes beautiful designs and also with functionality in mind.

**★★★★★ — Francis Rementilla, Nov. 2020**

> The Design Proposal helped me stage the property prior to listing for sale. The company was very professional. After the property was listed for sale, I received an offer within 3 days from a prospective buyer at $150,000 over my asking price.

**★★★★★ — Imelda Bautista, Nov. 2020**

> I work with him in designing our new office back in 2018.  He works professionally and knowledgeable.  He listen to your ideas and recommend what's best.   I highly recommend him.
