**★★★★★ — Kevin McLean, Feb. 2025**

> We worked with Kyle to design a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom ADU in the front yard of our home. Kyle was very knowledgeable regarding new California Senate Bills and Assembly Bills pertaining to ADU’s and helped us navigate the tricky approval process with both the Costal Commission and City. Kyle was able to take our input and create a design we loved that blended with our existing home and enhanced our curb appeal. Kyle was easy to work with and was persistent even when we received pushback from the city. We are very pleased to have worked with Kyle uand would recommend him to all of our friends and family. Thank you Kyle!

**★★★★★ — Steve, Jan. 2025**

> Kyle is great to work with. Very responsive, hands on, and offers excellent thoughts and ideas. Seeing our kitchen evolve in 3D was a game changer. Highly Recommend!

**★★★★★ — Burton Builders LLC, Jan. 2025**

> Working with Kyle at KWU Studio was an absolute pleasure. The drawings provided were incredibly detailed, and the overall project design was outstanding. During construction, Kyle remained actively involved, always available to answer questions and provide clarifications, ensuring the project progressed smoothly in the right direction. I'm very much looking forward to collaborating with Kyle again on future projects.

**★★★★★ — Laine Prokay, Jan. 2025**

> Kyle is fantastic. Highly responsive, knowledgeable, and understanding. He describes the complexity of architecture and construction steps in simple terms, and never made me feel foolish for asking questions. He is visionary paired with realistic, and really listened to our us and our needs for the space. He has a great design eye, while taking feedback fantastically if we wanted to go in a different direction - as well as kindly coax us back if an idea of ours wasn't going to work! I can't recommend Kyle highly enough.
