### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Kim Ashley, April 2020**

> Jody Pear is a wonderful interior designer.  She consulted us on how to make a soul snapshot of our house.   This was extremely helpful in choosing her to do our project.  Thank you so much for being so insightful.  We were very satisfied with the job.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Thank you so much for your review! I always enjoy working with you in the ongoing transformations you are making in your home.

**★★★★★ — Cheryl Bosley, Nov. 2019**

> My husband and I are so happy we hired Jody Pear to decorate our combined living and dining room! She is an excellent design professional who truly listened and respected out tastes in furniture and color. Her knowledge and recommendations solved a few decorating dilemmas we had.  She did this in a timely manner and so pleasantly. My husband and I feel like a good friend helped us with our decorating project. Jody has a special gift for design and communication. We will definitely work with her again!

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Thank you so much for your review Cheryl. It truly was a pleasure working with you and your husband. You have such a beautiful home and with a few simple updates, it will feel even better!

**★★★★★ — Andreas Browne, Nov. 2019**

> I'm a professional who'd worked with Jody Pear Designs this past spring. After meeting through a business group and talking for a bit she gathered everything she needed to know about my life and business. Few days later she'd made and created this beautiful, spectacular and inspirational piece about my life for my office wall. She's is great to work with and very creative.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Andreas, thank you so much for your kind words....it means the world to me! It was truly a pleasure putting this soul snapshot together for you!

**★★★★★ — Sheryl Kubiak, Nov. 2019**

> I received a “Soul Snapshot” from Jody after one of my big accomplishments.  It touched me  that she could listen to me with her heart, take what I’d done and put it into a “snapshot”! When my daughter Jennie achieved her Master’s Degree through all kinds of unbelievable adversity, I knew what to do!  I contacted Jody and asked her to create a Soul Snapshot for her.  After consulting with Jody and letting her know all my daughter had been through, the different things she likes to do and a bit about her favorite things, Jody once again created a snapshot that was stunning!  It was perfect.  Jennie was very surprised, and when she went home she immediately put it up in a special place where she could see it EVERY DAY when she wakes up. It's been very inspiring for her.
> Jody – you’re amazing.  Thank you!

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Sheryl, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm honored to work with you on such special projects like these. Thank you for trusting me.

**★★★★★ — Coleman Harrison, Oct. 2019**

> Since meeting Jody in person and subsequently working with her, I was immediately taken by her warm personality and absolute passion for design. After meeting Jody and learning more about her unique take on design, I enrolled in her online video course about creating a Soul Oasis. As a designer, she is remarkable. As an instructor, she is extraordinary!  Her Soul Oasis course was an incredible journey and I loved adding the elements I learned in her course into my home. The course itself was easy to follow and navigate. I found myself pausing the videos every few moments to jot notes down in my journal! Her suggestions and process of creating a Soul Oasis add meaning and beauty to a space; it came at a perfect time because I was actually going through a move to a new apartment. I feel like creating my Soul Oasis was the final touch the design of my new living space; it was the piece that finally made the house my \*home\*. Now I love coming home every day and being reminded of my goals and the other things I learned through Jody's process! It is an element that adds inspiration, tranquility, and beauty to my home and I am SO happy I decided to do it.
>
> Beyond her course, the work I have seen in person and through her portfolio is inspiring, approachable, and of course beautiful. Working with Jody has been a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.

**★★★★★ — Renee Z, Sept. 2019**

> Jody Pear was wonderful to work with. From the first communication with her, I knew I was going to enjoy working with her. Her design ideas for our new home were perfect. I appreciate more than I can articulate that she really took in our style, our desires for our new home, and the furniture we already owned to help lay out our design. She helped us mix in the perfect amount of color.
> I really enjoyed the portfolio that she put together for us. I liked that she took the time and care to arrange the pages in a binder for us. It seems like everything nowadays is electronic so it was great to have a hard-copy reference with larger pictures to really take in the design, in addition to the electronic version.
> About the design: I am not an “accent wall” person, but she made a great suggestion for accent walls in our great room that turned out perfectly. I knew my husband would like the idea and I thought it sounded pretty interesting so we trusted her and went with it. My husband and I both love how the colors turned out – especially these accent walls.
> As part of our new home’s remodel, Jody also helped us pick out the color for our kitchen cabinets. They turned out beautiful.
> Jody helped us with so many decisions – big and small. I don’t want to think about how differently the house could have turned out without her. If you are considering working with an interior designer, but want to DIY the work - Jody Pear Designs is the perfect solution.

**★★★★★ — Cyndee Harrison, Sept. 2019**

> Jody will change your life by empowering you to change your space. Unlike designers who lay their own style templates onto your space, Jody focuses on what makes YOUR heart sing and what feeds YOUR soul ... and she helps you make it beautiful. I highly recommend Jody and her approach to helping others create a sould oasis.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Cyndee, thank you so much for your kind words. It is so fulfilling for me to listen to what your vision is and guide you through a fun process of bringing it to life!

**★★★★★ — James Knittel, Aug. 2019**

> Jody Pear did a fantastic job for my wife and I. She came out to our house quickly and gave us an outstanding plan for our interior design. Jody also created a plan that fit within our budget. We followed her plan and recommendations to develop some outstanding living space within our residence. Jody also created a color plan for the entire main level of our house. My wife could not be more pleased with the final results. Jody also drew up a plan for my office at work. She told me that she wanted to "tell your story" with the photo arrangements and that is exactly what she did. I was extremely pleased with the final product. Jody has an professional eye and attention to detail that produces a fantastic produce. I plan to hire Jody again in the near future when the next set of renovations are scheduled. My wife and I have been extremely pleased with our final results.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Thank you Jim. It was such a pleasure to work with you on your office and your home! I especially loved creating your story in your office, bringing a little bit more joy into the workplace. I'm looking forward to the next phase for your house.

**★★★★★ — Leah Olajide, Aug. 2019**

> Jody truly helped me to design an office that space that feels comfortable and reflects my personality and goals. She fully understands the meaning of decorating with intention and helps her clients see that each piece in your office/space/house should mean something or represent something. It is a pleasure to know Jody and to work with her.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Thank you so much Leah! It was a pleasure to help you find ways to reflect yourself into your office!

**★★★★★ — HU-860581399, July 2019**

> I had an office built and contracted Jody Pear Designs to assist with the design.  She gave me a layout which showed different ways to setup the furniture and several color swatches. Her attention to detail was extraordinary because she captured what we talked about. I now have the best looking office at my job and feel extremely comfortable conducting business meetings.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> It was a pleasure working with you. I'm so glad you are enjoying your office!

**★★★★★ — Laura Monahan, Jan. 2019**

> A few months ago, I attended one of Jody Pear's workshops, called Soul Oasis, and it changed the entire way I look at and interact with every space in my home. Jody introduced the idea that what often gets overlooked when designing an interior space - be it a small desk top or a large great room - is the emotion these spaces can bring out in those who use them. I realized I'd been going about it all wrong - looking for accent pillows to pull in a "look" when I needed to listen to how I felt in those spaces. And I was failing miserably and cluttering up my space with things that not only didn't work, they made me unhappy. Jody stresses the importance of putting items in view that can remind you of what makes you happy. She encourages the use of "soul snapshots," collages of images that speak to you. - On the practical side, I hired Jody to come to my home and help make sense of our awkwardly laid out rooms and the hodgepodge of furniture. I ended up with a fantastic portfolio of detailed layouts for each room, with which I can plan as I am ready to redo each room. It was an amazing process, and she has a way of walking into a room and just knowing how to put the pieces together in a way that is just RIGHT. Like puzzle pieces that fit. She also helped us choose the right paint colors, which is a gift in itself! She's got a true gift for bringing your house together. And now I no longer apologize to people when they come over...I'm proud to open the door and entertain! Thank you, Jody!

**★★★★★ — Ela Wardowski, Nov. 2018**

> Absolutely enjoyed working with Jody.  She was professional and personable - she took the time to listen to our needs, while asking questions to further define our needs as well as interests.  The portfolio she presented us was on-point - provide several concepts from simple, easy adjustments to innovative layouts.  The concepts were thought-provoking, while providing us with ideas never considered - giving our home a more inviting feel, yet efficiently using each space.  While the ball is in our court now to decide on a concept and shop around for furnishings based on her concepts and measurements, she continues to guide and provide suggestions to meet our needs.  Would definitely refer Jody to others.

**Comment from Jody Pear Designs:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words Ela. It's a pleasure working with you and I can't wait to see the final results!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is the throw from?  I am looking for that color.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello Darlene; thanks for the inquiry. It is actually a sample throw from a direct sales company who is no longer in business. I did a quick search for you and found a similar color from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I've included the link below.

Warm Regards,
Jody
