### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Drewett Works, May 2022**

> Claire Ownby and her team are more invested in continuing the architectural vision than making a singular interior design solution. When we work together, it makes our projects really cohesive. Claire practices restraint and has remarkable design sensibility. She has an excellent command of a natural pallet and always adds just the right amount of personality to give each job uniqueness. Claire is also the most disciplined designer I’ve ever known with regard to budget. And all members of the team are remarkable communicators.

**★★★★★ — Kendle Design Collaborative, Feb. 2018**

> I have admired Claire and her teams work for a long time and am currently working on our first project together. I have found their approach highly professional and their solutions not only creative and in tune with our architectural vision but adding greatly to the overall quality the home will have down to the smallest detail. I highly recommend Ownby Design and look forward to many future collaborations.

**★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2017**

> Review from ThompsonPhotographic:
>    Been in this business a long time and have worked with quite a few designers to say the least.
> I've heard about Claire through the normal channels and looked up her work - WOW !! I was more than impressed - I was in heaven. I wanted so much to work with her. Well quite by fate
> we hooked up on a recent shoot of the Silversmith residence at the Estancia Community in North Scottsdale, designed by Mark Tate of Tate Studios. What she did for that home was nothing more than total perfection in design and build. Such stunning "taste" is a site to behold - not to mention awesome to photograph! Included are some pics of the project - as they say "proof in the pudding". I'll stop here and let you just view the pics - enough said.
> Sincerely Steve Thompson / ThompsonPhotographic

> Claire, and her staff bring an ease, or comfort, to their professionalism. They are thorough down to the smallest details and genuinely attentive to the needs/wants of their clients while providing great ideas. Working with them, has been a privilege and I hope to work with her on future projects.  I highly recommend them as a company to hire as a client, or work alongside with on a project.

**★★★★★ — tedadams, Sept. 2014**

> I have worked for years with Claire as a professional vendor, supplying fine custom rugs and carpets for her clients.  She and her team are a very talented collaborative effort.  Together they provide wonderful interiors, elegant, simplistic and stylish, always tasteful and tailored.  They are true professionals and treat their colleagues with respect.  They are willing to hear suggestions that might improve performance and durability, and are open to suggestions for alternative design ideas.  I always look forward to working with Claire's team..  I know she always has her clients' best interests in mind, when working on design resolutions, and am proud to be a part of her design efforts.
