Insert Design, which focuses primarily on residential design, also accepts commerical and hospitality projects. The firm's name, which is intentionally absent Maleki and Schumacher, places emphasis on the value of what an interior designer does and not who the interior designer is. As its two Principal Designers, Maleki and Schumacher have more than thirty years of combined interior design experience and hold professional affiliations with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and the Interior Design Society (IDS). The objective of Insert Design is to provide a tailored and personal design experience to each client. A successful design requires a thoughtful and developed approach to both beauty and purpose -really, to create the most beautiful reflection of a client's aesthetic. Whether starting at the ground and building up, refreshing your home with a renovation, or reinventing your home as it is, we would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you! ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Dining Room Design - Lighting Design - Floor Plans - Project Management - Custom Furniture - Commercial Interior Design - Hospitality Interior Design - Residential Interior Design ### Areas Served - Anaheim - Santa Ana - Irvine - Huntington Beach - Garden Grove - Fullerton - Orange - Costa Mesa - Westminster - Newport Beach - Tustin - Fountain Valley - Aliso Viejo - Cypress - Stanton - North Tustin - Seal Beach - Laguna Beach - Laguna Woods - Corona del Mar - Rossmoor - Los Alamitos - Midway City - Villa Park - San Joaquin Hills - Sunset Beach - East Irvine - Los Angeles County - Newport Coast - Orange County - San Diego County ### Typical Job Cost $15,000 - 500,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Insert Design | | Address | 245 Fischer Avenue, Suite A-8A, Costa Mesa, California 92626, United States | | Phone | (714) 714-0060 | | Website | http://www.insertdesignstudio.com | | Followers on Houzz | 62 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — www.insertdesigninc.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Insert Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/insert-design-pfvwus-pf~185629386) - **Website:** http://www.insertdesignstudio.com - **Phone:** (714) 714-0060 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2018–2020), for Service. **Affiliations** - [American Society of Interior Designers](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/american-society-of-interior-designers-pfvwus-pf~1510192642) - [Interior Design Society](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/interior-design-society-pfvwus-pf~1829752925) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 13 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Willam & Nancy Naeve, Nov. 2019** > When we decided to ditch our 1992 era kitchen in favor of a custom designed new one, we knew we needed an experienced and creative professional. The job included raising the ceiling, blowing out a door and window to replace with a slider, and new windows and staircase to accommodate the new ceiling height. We needed a professional who would marry our ideas and purchases with a fresh yet classic design plan. A designer whose unique vision included the actual design of walnut cabinets/furniture and who would embrace our choice of white calacatta gold marble countertops with distinctive edging. > > After interviewing several local OC designers, some friends urged us to consider Majid Malek. After reviewing his portfolio and talking to some of his clients, it was obvious. We selected Majid to design our new kitchen, oversee the fabrication of its components and manage the contractor and the various trades to insure that construction operations were performed on time, within budget and without error. > > Working with Majid was a breeze. He was thoughtful. He listened--and when he felt it appropriate--knew how to tactfully explain why some our ideas would not work with our design. By the same token, if there was something we really wanted incorporated into the design, he figured out how to make it work. He may have sprouted a few gray hairs with our project, but he is all about customer service. We ended up with a perfectly placed TV built into our kitchen which we watch all the time. > > Part of Majid's value came with his partner Jenna, a true color and texture wizard. The Insert Design team brought a vast knowledge of materials, professionals and product vendor recommendations that could be utilized on our job. As a result of our trusting their instinct and vision, we have a limestone hood over our stove that marries our new kitchen with the stone elements in our backyard, spot on color combinations on our walls and trim, plus a walnut staircase which adds a warmth and richness to our home that would never have entered our thought process. > > Majid is talented and personable with expert design skills, yet easy to work with on the project. We are continually amazed at our new kitchen when we walk downstairs every morning. Our friends often remark that our kitchen is almost too beautiful to use. Somehow we manage! > > We highly recommend Majid and Jenna and Insert Design for your job! **Comment from Insert Design:** > Thank you, Bill and Nancy. We loved working with you and are so pleased that you are happy! **★★★★★ — Kathleen W, July 2019** > Majid and team did an outstanding job with a short time frame. Their communication, design, and subcontractors are EXCEPTIONAL. Their ideas improved our original thoughts for our forever home and we will DEFINITELY have them continue to improve every aspect of our home. > They were a DREAM to work with and we were lucky they could fit us in their schedule! **Comment from Insert Design:** > Thank you so much, Kathleen! We appreciate the confidence and trust you showed in us. It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to continuing work on your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Patrick Declusin, June 2019** > We had such a great experience with Jenna and Majid. My wife and I had brought them into a tough situation as we were nine months into building our custom home and had to find a new design team. They really took not only our lifestyle, preferences, and vision for the home into consideration and worked tirelessly to ensure we were completely satisfied with every aspect of our home. Together they brought the perfect blend of technical detail and style to our project and we will be forever grateful for portion of building our dream home. **Comment from Insert Design:** > We were so honored to be a part of your build! It was a fantastic collaboration! We look forward to seeing instagram posts of you and the kiddos enjoying it! **★★★★★ — Patrick Declusin, June 2019** > We had such a great experience with Jenna and Majid.

Jenna is very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We enjoy working with her. **★★★★★ — Ruben Pranata, Oct. 2017** > Jenna has been an excellent resource and has provided excellent service in helping us "pull everything together" with our interior design. She shared options that took into consideration color palette, fabrics, textures, furniture pieces, window coverings, etc as we put the finishing touches on our greatroom, kid's playroom, and master bedroom. **★★★★★ — Dick Crawford, Oct. 2017** > I have known and worked with Majid for over 20 years and worked with him on flagship new home and remodel projects. He is a tremendously talented and highly detailed designer and delivers very accurate design drawings. His recent partnership with Jenna, who has wonderful design talent and is very creative, is a synergy that really results a dynamic duo for clients. I have decided to have Jenna and Majid help my wife and me with our personal home remodel because of this dynamic relationship. **★★★★★ — Sherry Harbour, Oct. 2017** > Jenna Schumacher and her partner Majid, are wonderful, trustworthy and extremely talented individuals. Not only do they both do superior work, but their care and dedication to the project and there customers wishes are met beyond expectations.

She is involved in every aspect of the design process, through completion of construction. It's an honor for us at Warren Christopher to be able to be a part of her vision and bring it to life. I think all of her clients will agree- her talent, work ethic, prompt responses, demeanor, and her incredible personality makes it EASY to work alongside such a talented person! Thank you for always referring us to join in on your beautiful projects! **★★★★★ — Annette Reeves, Oct. 2017** > Love Jenna, she is so professional and has such a way with clients.
