## About

### Houzz Badges

My specialty is outdoor living design with a background and study in interior design. I take pride in creating functional and aesthetic outdoor living spaces with good energy.  My inspiration comes from the balance and flow each space is capable of achieving, and is executed with my attention to detail. I specialize in realistic, 3-D design, so each client's project can be uniquely viewed through conceptual images and virtual video.  When you can visualize your new space before construction begins, the design process is informative and fun, like it should be! 

Designs may include swimming pools, spas, decking, hardscapes, landscapes, outdoor lighting, fireplaces, fire-pits, water features, fountains, fire features, courtyards, outdoor kitchens, pergolas/shade structures, zen gardens, herb and veggie gardens, putting greens, sport courts, driveways, entries, exterior architecture, and more.

Examples of my "3-D Virtual Videos" can be found on my YouTube channel, just search "Open Mind Design, 3D Visualization." Feel free to ask me any questions, anytime, and more information including the process, pricing, and portfolio can be found on my website at www.sfcdesign.com.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-649402022, Jan. 2025**

> Sonja was able to take our dreams and come up with an amazing design! She was great to work with and super responsive. Everything we were looking for.

**★★★★★ — HU-80163984, Sept. 2024**

> Sonja has an amazing vision! She asked us over one call the things we wanted and brought our dream backyard into fruition! It’s been a pleasure working with her and bringing our ideas to life.

**★★★★★ — Lil Eskey, Sept. 2023**

> Our experience with Sonja was great! She was wonderful to work with. Her design on our project was creative and gorgeous. We are loving our backyard oasis!

**★★★★★ — Michael Neill, Dec. 2022**

> Sonja is very professional, knowledgeable, and delivered everything to us on time, with great communication. She was able to create a design which included everything we requested, even more perfect than we could have hoped for. Through her detailed renderings, we were able to visualize the design as a whole from the start, which helped to see the end product come to life. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

**★★★★★ — Cheryl Galligan, July 2022**

> Cannot recommend Sonja enough!! She is absolutely incredible. The design she created for our front, back and courtyard were far better than we could have imagined. We are so thankful to her for giving us the areas of our dreams!

**★★★★★ — Ann Ashton, July 2022**

> Sonja designed our pool.  She did a GREAT job.   It was Sonja’s design and attention that provided the roadmap for our builder and ourselves.  Sonja was always available and attentive while being kind and a real pleasure to work with.  If you are looking for a designer….look no further.  Sonja is the BEST.  We love our pool and her!!

**★★★★★ — Keisha Williams, Sept. 2021**

> Sonia was exactly what we needed in helping us bring our vision to life. Our backyard was okay before, but we needed a refresh, more connectivity and better functionality on our nearly 1/4 acre yard. And we don't have a pool, so we really needed some creativity. Sonja listened to our concerns, came back with a few drafts, was able to save and improve upon some of our existing structures. And the major plus was the built-to-scale plans, beautiful and vivid visual renderings and video. We are nearing completion using our own contractors, but are so happy with how things have turned out. We've tried this thing before without having a plan in the past and only had to come back years later to change it. So, do yourself a favor and hire Sonja to create your plan or complete your project from start to finish. It made things so much easier and her creativity was beyond anything we could have dreamed in our own heads. You won't regret it!

**★★★★★ — azbowz, July 2021**

> Sonja of OM Design was great to work with and we feel very lucky to have found her.  We love the design and it was well worth the money not to be dependent on the builder for the design.  The builders have their own priorities and often lack the creative ability to deliver a truly unique design.   While Sonja had recommendations for a builder, we never felt any pressure to use them and ended up finding a builder on our own.    Even though we did not use her recommended builder, she continued to work with us and helped us through the process.  She has the experience to help avoid mistakes.   If you are going to spend this kind of money on a dream backyard, you should make sure it turns out exactly the way you want it to.   Sonja can do that for you.

**★★★★★ — McKane Davis, June 2020**

> Sonja is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is an expert designer who was able to capture our vision for our yard perfectly. She also was able to answer any questions we had and teach us throughout the design process. We can't say enough good things. We have already recommended her to a family member and can wholeheartedly recommend her anyone else.

**★★★★★ — scottie Lee, March 2020**

> Picking a contractor to bring your vision to life can be challenging. We thought we knew what we wanted when extending the living space in our backyard until we had the opportunity to work with Sonja at OM Design. We worked on the design phase of the project for some time before breaking ground and Sonja was not only patient during the process her professional experience and input was a major influence on the final design. It is truly amazing how the completed project looks identical the design work Sonja developed in advance of breaking ground, all the way down to furniture measurements and placement. We could not be more pleased with the final outcome! Thank you Sonja and Terranova! -The Lees

**★★★★★ — HU-664903827, March 2020**

> Very detail oriented and very efficient.  Highly recommended. Sonja took all my questions and comments seriously and made sure our project was what we wanted.

**★★★★★ — Jonathan Fairbanks, March 2020**

> I have had the pleasure of working with Sonja over the years as a contractor. She has an amazing ability to design and create elements that challenge me as a contractor and amaze the clients I have the opportunity to work for. I have been fortunate enough to have opportunities to bring her ideas to life with some of the most amazing design techniques and thought provoking elements. Recommending Sonja is the easiest referral I could give. Her projects are amazing and her attention throughout the process is unmatched.

**Comment from Sonja Cellucci:**

> Thank you Jonathan! It's amazing to look at all of the beautiful projects we've created over the years! :)
