Trained as an architect, I focus on building spaces that represent the client's tastes, while making sure the space is used effectively and is a reflection of the people who gather there. Happy to design it or just guide a client through the process. The more a house reveals the interests and life pieces of the occupants, the more a visitor takes away from the encounter and the more nurtured the occupants are. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Bedroom Design - Living Room Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Entry Design - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Playroom Design - Project Management - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - House Plans - Art Selection - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Universal Design - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Home Theater Design - Wine Cellar Design - Home Staging - Downsizing - Drafting - Handicap-Accessible Design - Attic Conversion - Decluttering - Feng Shui Design - Home Office Design ### Areas Served - Monterey - Pacific Grove - Pebble Beach - Carmel Valley - Carmel-by-the-Sea - Del Rey Oaks - Carmel - National - New Jersey ### Typical Job Cost $5,000 - 500,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | ogando partners | | Address | Carmel, California 93923, United States | | Phone | (908) 823-4531 | | Website | https://ogandodesign.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 100 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [ogando partners](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/ogando-partners-pfvwus-pf~1795280982) - **Website:** https://ogandodesign.com/ - **Phone:** (908) 823-4531 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2014–2025), for Service. **Affiliations** - [American Society of Interior Designers](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/american-society-of-interior-designers-pfvwus-pf~1510192642) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 14 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 5.0 - Communication: 5.0 - Value: 5.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — lnwants2win, March 2024** > I met Theresa and we clicked immediately. She is absolutely AMAZING and guided me through redoing my family, living and dining rooms. Beyond happy with ALL of the decisions made-li HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER SERVICES!!!! **★★★★★ — Laura Parker, Aug. 2015** > Recently married, John and I were struggling with how to blend our vastly different styles. We each came to the marriage with our own art, furniture and strong opinions. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we needed help. We are so thankful that we found Ogando Partners. > Theresa is incredible. She guided us through a process of deciding which pieces we absolutely had to keep and which we could part with. She took what remained (a hodgepodge if left in our hands), added new pieces of furniture, wood floors, lighting, etc., and created a beautiful and cohesive home that expresses us both individually and as a couple. > In addition to being a designer, Theresa is an architect. She put her dual talents to work and gave us some much needed storage space by designing an amazing wall of built-in cabinetry and a home office that’s perfect for two. Besides looking gorgeous, our home has a flow and functionality that we appreciate every day. > Theresa is a total professional with the experience and vision to deliver it all. **Comment from ogando partners:** > Dear Cobelious, Thank you for being open to the process. Your home truly is yours now and I am sincerely honored to have been the catalyst. Thank you for putting your trust in me. Enjoy the new crib! **★★★★★ — lizcox41, March 2014** > If you enjoy working with a greater designer, a person with vision, who does what they say they will - when they say they will --- than you will have a great working experience with Ogando's. > > Living in a townhouse has many pluses & a few minuses, one of course being space. This is why I have used Ogando on two separate occasions. My bath and my kitchen. > > Kitchen: Ogando’s changed a very plain kitchen and made it a showpiece. I had to be convinced of a few things, but I trusted her vision and professionalism and started. With new elements, granite counter top, sink, some custom cabinets , some wonderful fabrics, etc., this is now one of the best rooms in my home, my guest and I now spend many hours there. > > Bathroom: Ogando’s took your standard townhouse bathroom and guided me to the right look and feel for my lifestyle and needs. I know have a glamorous room with the right colors, fixtures, etc. Little features like dimmers in a bathroom make this room beautiful. > > I have recommended her to family now and they too use her. **★★★★★ — kristen992, March 2014** > Theresa is easy to work with. She is a very creative and talented interior designer. She really listened to what I wanted and helped me find smart solutions that worked for me and my budget, rather than pushing everything on me. Very satisfied with the final look. **★★★★★ — brucelmoskovitz, March 2014** > We engaged Ogando partners (Theresa Ogando) after our contractor engaged her to provide input to a project he did for us. We like her style and hired her for a major redesign of our dining, living, and family room spaces, all including new furnishings, paint schemes, lighting, and window treatments. In addition, she redesigned the mantle over a fireplace in the family room. > Ms. Ogando is an excellent "listener" and really understood our taste and preferences. The decisions were highly interactive with no offense taken by either party when a suggestion or choice was not followed, but which ultimately led to a design that was highly satisfactory to us, the homeowners. We also found Ms. Ogando to be highly responsive and was very timely when communicating by phone or e-mail. We would not hesitate to work with her again. **★★★★★ — yessie819, Feb. 2014** > I have had Ogando Partners design 2 kitchens for properties I renovated to sell and they turned out great. There attention to flow really made the homes sell at maximum value. **★★★★★ — George Turner, Feb. 2014** > I had the pleasure of working with Ogando Partners after purchasing a 1950's Cape Cod at the Jersey Shore. The kitchen was in need of a complete remodel and I was at a lost of layout but knew what style I wanted. The team took my style, created a layout that not only works as a functional kitchen but allows me the space to host a large gathering with a large buffet style counter that I hadn't thought about. Making the most out of the space I have the room and look of a professional kitchen and still maintains a family friendly kitchen for family and guest to gather. **★★★★★ — mad4plaid designs, Feb. 2014** > Theresa has a wonderful eye with great attention to detail. She is very easy to work with and actually listens while ideas are being formed which is a difficult quality to find in a designer sometimes. We used her for our master bath and although we didn't have a tremendous budget she made the end result look like we did. Our end result is stunning and it came in within the time constraints and the budget. I would not hesitate to use Theresa again. **★★★★★ — ramber1, Aug. 2013** > Ogando partners is a highly skilled and professional design team. I hired this company for a major design project at my house in West Orange and found Theresa a pleasure to work with. First of all she is very knowledgeable about her craft. she listens to you, what you want. With her it's all about meeting the clients needs, while ensuring the "wow" effect every client has come to expect from her. She is detail oriented and focusses on what is important to the client and knows just how to tie it all together. With her it is teamwork. You are involved from the start to the finish. Secondly she displayed the superb ability to meet my budget and deadlines, while providing me with maximum benefits for my money. From the minute she walks through your door for that first estimate, her pleasant and effervescent attitude will impact you. Her professionalism is very desirable. Renovation can be very stressful. Orando designs, however, makes it seem seamless. > Thank you Ogando. I would hire you again in a heartbeat. > > Melva Brown **★★★★★ — mitchyman3, Aug. 2013** > Theresa Ogando gave us guidance, insight, and friendship. Not only did she provide excellence in design,style, color, and placement, but she respected us and our unique tastes and needs. A true professional as well as friend, her influence on our Summer Palace continues year after year. She is a willing expert that is irreplaceable to us! **★★★★★ — Homann Design & Construction LLC., April 2013** > We have worked with Theresa on several projects and she delivers every time. She understands the clients' needs and meets them within time and budget. Her knowledge of the construction process gives her the ability to realistically execute projects big or small. We will definitely be working together in the future. **★★★★★ — k\_jacobs, April 2013** > Working with Ogando Partners on their most recent project, I found them to be very conscious to their clients budget and time restraints while providing the highest level of professionalism. I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process and would recommend them to all of my associates. ## Selected projects - [Small Dining Upgrade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-dining-upgrade-pj-vj~7379845) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: A quick change of furniture and lighting transformed this small dining room into a fresh, modern space. - [Colors of the Sea](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colors-of-the-sea-pj-vj~7225505) - Location: Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA - Photos: 3 - Description: Downsizing to 1100sq ft in Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA.
