We’ve had the pleasure of working with her remotely from Arizona on two different kitchen projects, and both experiences exceeded our expectations. > > Each of our homes had some challenging layouts and awkward spaces that we just couldn’t figure out. We had even asked several other designers for ideas, but nothing ever felt right. Then we found Ariana—and she absolutely nailed it! She came up with creative, unique solutions that were not only beautiful but made perfect use of every space. We were so excited by her ideas and couldn’t wait to see them come to life. > > Working with Ariana was honestly one of the best parts of the entire project. It never felt like working with a designer—it felt like working with a friend. She was always available, incredibly responsive, and made the whole process fun and enjoyable. She truly listened to what we wanted, immediately understood our style, and somehow turned the vision we had in our heads into something even better than we imagined. > > She was also amazing at helping us choose the perfect cabinetry and finishes, making sure every detail came together beautifully. Her creativity, talent, and eye for design are truly exceptional. > > If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about creating a space you’ll love, Ariana is the person you want. We are absolutely thrilled with both of our kitchens and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again! **★★★★★ — HU-79116375, Jan. 2026** > I originally had hired a different kitchen designer, that gave me some concern with their suggestions. I called KDS and I knew within about 10 minutes that I had chosen someone that was very knowledgeable and could guide me to a successful outcome for my my kitchen remodel. Every step of the way, KDS helped me order my cabinets and all the other choices that go into a new design. I had my vision, but they had the experience and knowledge that ultimately made my kitchen turn out fantastic. I was super happy I went with KDS and recommend them without reservation. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > We are thrilled that you found us and that we could help design your kitchen the way you envisioned it. We love when our clients are happy with our services. Enjoy your beautiful new kitchen! **★★★★★ — Susan Anderson, June 2025** > We were fortunate that my friend referred us to KDS, and most especially Ariana Fuller for our kitchen remodel. We cannot express enough how fantastic Ariana is in layout and design. Not only was Ariana focused in understanding our needs and vision, she provided much needed expertise in optimizing and maximizing our kitchen space. If we came across any obstacles in our project, Ariana was quick to provide alternatives or solutions. Look no further if you need a kitchen designer... Ariana Fuller is the one for you! **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Susan! We're thrilled to hear that Ariana was able to exceed your expectations with the kitchen remodel. We appreciate your recommendation and are delighted that you had such a positive experience with us. Enjoy your new kitchen! **★★★★★ — taharthun, Feb. 2025** > It was a pleasure working with Kitchen Design Services from start to finish. I had no idea where to begin. Kevin told me what steps to take and when I was ready, connected me with Ariana. I showed Ariana a stack of pictures of kitchens and features that we liked. She took all of our ideas and came back with a plan. I remember her saying with such enthusiasm, "I am so excited to show you what I have come up with and can't wait to hear what you think." Well, her vision, which became our vision, was so much better than anything we had thought of. One of our favorite parts is the butler's pantry, which we didn't even ask for. By moving things around, she created the most amazing pantry, complete with a floor to ceiling ladder. My husband calls it our "safe room". When family and friends come over now, no one understands how our kitchen looks bigger than it did before, and we have an added butler's pantry. We all agree that Ariana's design is how our kitchen was always meant to be. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > We are so thrilled to hear that we exceeded your expectations in transforming your kitchen! We're happy to hear you're a satisfied client and we thank you so much for your glowing review. If you ever need anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to us! Enjoy your beautiful kitchen! **★★★★★ — cmangin, Jan. 2025** > We just completed a 5 month kitchen remodel. Our contractor recommended Ariana with KDS. What a win for us, she made my dream kitchen come true. From start to finish Ariana was nothing short of amazing. After our first meeting Ariana asked for pictures of what I envisioned for our new kitchen. Her renderings were spot on as was the execution. Total time working with Ariana was close to 9 months, she was always so responsive and insightful. We highly recommend her design services. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you for your glowing review of Kitchen Design Services and Ariana. We love to hear positive feedback about our company and the work we do. We're so glad you're happy with Ariana's service and expertise; please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything else. Enjoy your beautiful kitchen! **★★★★★ — Daniel, Oct. 2024** > Kitchen Design Services did an outstanding job of designing our new kitchen. Every detail was planned out carefully ahead of time. My KDS designer went with me to many different showrooms to help me pick out tile, countertop slabs, and paint, and coordinate all of the colors. They had a great sense of style and were very knowledgeable about kitchen design. KDS had a great selection of cabinets— I love the DuraSupreme cabinets we got. I received lots of personal attention, never felt rushed, and all of my never-ending questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. It was a real pleasure working with KDS— I highly recommend them! Our kitchen turned out to be absolutely fabulous! **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Daniel! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our design team. It's great to know that you loved the DuraSupreme cabinets and that we could assist you in creating your fabulous kitchen. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your kind words! **★★★★★ — SandeepK, Oct. 2024** > We recently built a new home, and one of the areas we receive the most compliments on is our kitchen and surrounding space. We owe much of that to Ariana and Kevin at KDS Kitchens. Ariana worked closely with us to design the kitchen and helped us navigate the selection of cabinet manufacturers. Although this process took some time, Ariana and Kevin made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. > > Ariana's patience and attention to detail were exceptional. She offered countless suggestions to optimize both the functionality and aesthetic of the space, and the final result is stunning. What really impressed us, though, was the after-sales support. Ariana and Kevin worked with the manufacturer to address a couple of minor issues, ensuring that we were completely satisfied with the finished product. We highly recommend KDS Kitchens for their outstanding service and dedication. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > We are so thrilled to hear that you are happy with the outcome of your kitchen and that you get a lot of compliments on it! We're glad Ariana and KDS met your expectations and thank you so much for the positive review! If you ever need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us. Enjoy your beautiful new home! **★★★★★ — CA Lea, Sept. 2024** > KDS highly recommend! We worked directly with Ariana for a full kitchen remodeling that included design and new cabinets. > She is the best in the business and walked us through start to finish (and more). She has a keen eye for attention to detail, very responsive, helpful, and supported to get us the best design. We are extremely satisfied with Ariana and KDS. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > We are so happy you are satisfied with Ariana and KDS' work! Thank you so much for your recommendation and review! If we can help in any other way, please let us know! Enjoy your gorgeous kitchen! **★★★★★ — Maysa Orensa, Aug. 2024** > Such a great place to shop for high end cabinetry.. great brands and great quality. > The team provides top notch design services with an unbeatable customer service! > Highlighted recommended in the heart of the Bay Area. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you so much for your review Maysa! Your kitchen turned out beautiful and it was such a pleasure working with you on your project! Let us know if we can help with anything else! **★★★★★ — Duc, Sept. 2023** > My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Ariana to design custom cabinets for our entire house for a rather large remodel last year, which included a full new kitchen and 3 new bathrooms with all matching wood styling. > > During the design phase, Ariana was great at understanding our preferred aesthetics and recommending layouts and finishes that appeal to us. We even hired her to help us choose cabinet handles, floorings and paint colors. > > All of the cabinets arrived on time for installations and Ariana worked closely with our contractor to make modifications to fit around existing drain and water lines. Communication was never an issue and we got all problems resolved promptly with clear ETCs. We definitely love how modern and cohesive everything looks, and the quality is fantastic. After almost a year after installation, all of the cabinets and shelvings are still working great. I'm especially geeky about the corner LeMans cabinet! > > All of the product lines they offer use European woods, which is definitely more expensive than Chinese woods cabinets you can buy elsewhere. We definitely felt much more at ease about the quality of these cabinet lines (we used Columbia) and, given EU's more stringent regulations, safer with any potential VOC or toxic content in the finishes products. > > Would definitely love to work with Ariana again on future projects! **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure to work with you, Duc! I hope you and your growing family love your home for many years to come. Please always feel free to reach out for anything. :) Take care, Ariana **★★★★★ — V A, Aug. 2023** > We had a wonderful experience working with Karen Evenden from KDS. She was friendly, responsive, and helped us design a beautiful kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. Karen really listened, brought a great energy to our meetings, and understood our style and needs. We appreciated her attention to detail: following up at every stage of the process, making sure things happened in time, and helping to troubleshoot things quickly. Karen went above and beyond for us, helping us with every detail - she has a great eye for design. Thank you Karen for making this process easy and being so good to work with. We love our new space! **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > We love happy clients and are so thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Karen! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! And we hope you enjoy your new space for many, many years! Let us know if you need anything else from us! **★★★★★ — Julie Grabscheid, Aug. 2023** > Karen was tremendously helpful in guiding us through the process of ordering cabinets for our whole home remodel. We would have been lost without her. Not fully understanding how forward-thinking you must be when designing the spaces for your home, Karen went on and beyond to show us a variety of design options to meet our needs. She was also extremely patient and kind with us while we were making our decisions, all the while, keeping us aware of timing deadlines and discount options. Whenever we had questions, she was there to assist us. She answers her phone and responds to messages in a timely fashion. My husband and I felt very well taken care of and that she was excellent regarding service and support. I would highly recommend Karen and Kitchen Design Services. **Comment from Kitchen Design Services:** > Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that your experience with Karen and our company was so positive. We hope you enjoy your new home for many years!
