We had some shady plans drawn up elsewhere and we called Sandra for help and she whipped the plans into shape so fast and brilliantly! She transformed our plans and saved us much heartache. Her expertise is invaluable and her taste is impeccable. Not only is she professional and talented, but she is a delightful person to be around and work with. I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — wallnedlady, March 2018** > Sandra did a wonderful job transforming my small space into the space of my dreams! She has such great vision. I would have never thought of the design she did!!! **Comment from BONDERUD Design Inc. Architecture \| Interiors:** > Thank you, Liz! It was a pleasure working with you and Dave. **★★★★★ — Plum Designs and Blinds, Oct. 2017** > I have worked with Sandra on many projects and I am always in awe of the finished project- always sophisticated yet livable, a perfect balance of esthetic and function. She is also wonderful to work with, her professionalism, can do attitude, and sunny personality come through every time! As a vendor it is very precious to work with such a top notch designer, and I know her customers agree- I recommend Sandra without reserve. **★★★★★ — Danielle Davila, June 2017** > Sandra is incredibly talented and a team player. She has the ability to interpret her Client's design sense while achieving built interior spaces that have a sense of upscale livability. She is very reliable and is a great addition to a consultant team on a project that requires a multi-disciplinary effort. We always recommend Sandra for projects that need an amazing architect! **★★★★★ — James Hopkin, June 2017** > Sandra is the only architect I've worked with but it is hard to imagine a better working relationship than we've had. Sandra took my concept sketches and worked with me to evolve them into a wonderful, workable design. She shepherded the plans through the onerous planning review process with the city of Orinda and got approval the first time through, even with a few variances from the zoning code. Sandra is consistently responsive to my endless naive questions and sometimes goofy ideas. I look forward to working with her again on a commercial project I'm developing. **★★★★★ — ELLIOT KALLEN, June 2017** > We have used Sandra on many occasions for both commercial and residential projects and she has been a true Professional. We just built a wine room for 793 bottles and she was instrumental . **★★★★★ — Pamela Locati, June 2017** > II enjoyed working with Sandra very much. She is always willing to listen and is a good collaborator. Her constructive ideas helped design a house that is on it's way to becoming my lovely new home. ## Selected projects - [Blackhawk Home Addition- Danville, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blackhawk-home-addition-danville-ca-pj-vj~2488543) - Location: Danville, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: Backyard Living remodel: New Cabana, new covered porch extensions, new outdoor kitchen, yard, pool and patio improvements.
