From the very beginning, she understood our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that felt both functional and incredibly cozy. > > She designed the kitchen and bathroom with such thoughtful attention to detail. The kitchen is not only beautiful but also highly practical, with smart layout choices and finishes that make the space feel warm and inviting. The bathroom has a spa-like comfort while still being efficient and well-designed for everyday use. > > What truly sets Victoria apart is her ability to create a cohesive, comfortable feel throughout the space. The ADU feels welcoming, stylish, and perfectly tailored to our needs. She was professional, communicative, and a pleasure to collaborate with every step of the way. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking to design a space that feels both elegant and cozy. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Nelson, thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review. It truly means the world to me. Working on your ADU was such a joy, and I’m grateful for the trust you placed in me from day one. I loved helping bring your vision to life and creating a space that reflects who you are and fits your lifestyle. > > Thank you again for being such wonderful collaborators. I’m honored to have been part of your project, and I’m so happy the ADU feels like a space you can enjoy for years to come. If you ever need anything in the future, I’m always here. ### All 15 reviews **★★★★★ — Zack, March 2026** > Working with Victoria was an absolute 5/5 experience. She is incredibly diligent, thoughtful, and organized, which made the entire process feel seamless from start to finish. What really stood out was her ability to blend design, color, and functionality in a way that truly fit our lifestyle, not just what looks good on paper. It's easy to pick colors and designs that you see online, but working with Victoria really helps bring those ideas to life. > > Her insights elevated the space in ways we wouldn’t have thought of on our own, and she consistently went above and beyond to make sure every detail was considered. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and even enjoyable. > > She did such an outstanding job that we’ve already hired her for another project. I can’t recommend her highly enough! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Zack, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. > > It was truly such a pleasure working with you on your project! I’m so grateful for the trust you placed in me throughout the process. My goal is always to create spaces that not only look beautiful, but also feel intentional, functional, and tailored to the way my clients truly live—so this means so much to hear. > > I’m so happy the experience felt seamless and enjoyable because that’s exactly what I strive for. I am beyond excited to continue working together on your next project! **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, March 2026** > Maya oversaw the design of a complete remodel of a home I purchased. She created drawings for 2 bathrooms and fireplace for the contractors to work from. She helped me find the right tile, lighting fixtures and paint to compliment each room. She is very professional and easy to work with. She was very accommodating with her schedule and quick to respond to all of my questions. I would highly recommend her. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > It was a pleasure working with you, Renee. I appreciate your kind words and trusting me with the design of your home remodel. It was truly a pleasure collaborating with you to bring your vision to life. From the bathrooms to the fireplace and all the details in between. I’m so glad you felt supported throughout the process, and I appreciate your thoughtful recommendation. > > Wishing you many wonderful years enjoying your beautiful new space! **★★★★★ — Cecilia Garcia, Oct. 2023** > I have recently worked with Victoria on a commercial exterior painting project in San Jose, CA through one of my customers. She is very pleasant to work with highly knowledgeable on color expertise; both my customer and his client were very happy with the results. She has the right tools and technology to provide outstanding results, to give the customer a preview of what the project would look like. I will definitely consider to work with Victoria on future projects with my customers. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Thank you, Cecilia! I had a wonderful time working with you and the rest of the team involved in this project. I am thrilled the project turned out great and I would love to collaborate with you again in the future should the opportunity arise. **★★★★★ — Proactive Painting, Oct. 2023** > This review is of the upmost importance to me. We contracted Casa Victoria for a large exterior commercial project in Silicon Valley, CA. The digital rendering and communication was well above average. They were able to do a beautiful presentation of the design, with Corporate leaders of the company we were working with. We highly recommend for design needs. Thank you Casa Victoria! > > -Raymond and The Proactive Painting Team **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > It was a pleasure collaborating with Proactive Painting for this project! We appreciate the team effort put into making the vision come to life and we would be more than happy to work together again, should the opportunity arise. **★★★★★ — A V, Sept. 2023** > Victoria helped us with our medical office remodel and did a great job. She had great ideas and was fun to work with. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Thank you, Aarthi! It was such a pleasure working with you and your team. Should you need further assistance, I would be more than happy to assist. Enjoy your upgraded space! **★★★★★ — Veronica, Nov. 2022** > Victoria always pay carefully attention to my comments. That helps her to know what I want. She first help me with the living room and the main entrance of my new house. Every guest that comes to my house comments that feels welcome and cozy. That were the words that I told Victoria that I wanted to look and feel my house. Now we just finished ordering the dining room. I can not wait to see how beautiful it is going to look. For sure I will continue working with Victoria! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Veronica! I appreciate you taking the time to write me a review. It has been such a pleasure working with you and I am very happy to hear that your space is turning out to be what you were expecting. I am thrilled to see your dining room come together and can't wait to finish up other spaces in your home. **★★★★★ — Roberta Ross, May 2022** > What a pleasure it was working with Victoria! She helped us choose paint colors for our entire home. It was all taken care of within a few visits. Victoria was very kind, efficient and on time. She was always there for me if I had any question about any of the colors and always replied within a day. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Victoria! > > Roberta R. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Dear Roberta, > > Thank you so much for taking the time to write me a review. It was such a pleasure to work with you and your husband. Though choosing paint can feel overwhelming, I was very happy to be of assistance to you during this process. I would love to work with you again in the future, should there be an opportunity to do so. Warm regards to you and Herbert! **★★★★★ — Sindhu Suresh Babu, Feb. 2022** > Victoria helped us design our living room. She did a great job at understanding our goals, providing ideas and suggestions while also incorporating our wishes. The turnaround time was equally fast with a rapid succession of floor plan sketches and a mood board to help us visualize the room. She helped us pick every piece and brought it together wonderfully. My husband and I really appreciated her swift responses and to the point conversations while tolerating all of our questions :) **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Sindhu! Thank you so much for letting me assist you with your project and taking the time to write a review. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of your project and I am grateful to have the opportunity to make a difference in my client's livelyhood through design. Feel free to reach out should you need further assistance in the future! :) **★★★★★ — Toma, Dec. 2021** > Victoria spent time with us to understand how we wanted to lay out our open concept (living, dining, and kitchen) and helped us pick pieces that worked together as a whole. She efficiently found pieces that fit both myself and my partner's preferences. Working with her was very smooth and efficient and she went out of her way to make sure we were happy with the final result. This included staying long past the original appointment time we had booked and also following up on our orders when they were delayed. We were very happy to work with her and would definitely do so again in the future! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Toma! Thank you so much for the detailed review. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with my design services. I enjoyed working with you. It makes me happy to make my clients happy through design. If you need any assistance in the future, I would love to work with you and your partner again! **★★★★★ — Ethan Izzarelli, Dec. 2021** > We enjoyed working with Victoria. She was the third designer on our project and the first to work within our requests as opposed to her "own way". She was extremely responsive and conveniently available. She provided many different options and recommendations when an item "didn't work". She was pleasant and professional. We would definitely recommend her and work with her again. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Ethan. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! It was a pleasure to work with you and Stephanie and I was happy to help turn your newly renovated house into a home that is welcoming and functional for every member of your family. **★★★★★ — Anna, Nov. 2021** > I am so happy with the services Victoria have provided to me. I was amazed by her positive attitude and professionalism. She was willing to go extra mile to meet my expectations. I am so happy how she redesigned my house. It looks amazing now . Highly recommend to everyone! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Anna! Thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure working with you and look forward to working with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — MV, Nov. 2021** > Victoria has an impeccable eye for detail and design. She is a master at creating a practical yet beautiful layout in any room. She truly listens to what her clients desire. She pays close attention to an individual's preferences, and uses her expertise and creativity to design an environment that feels like an outward expression of your style. I highly recommend her to help design your home! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi MV! I appreciate your review and recommendation. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Carmen, Nov. 2021** > Victoria is a detail oriented professional who not only possesses the skills and qualities needed to get the job done but also warm interpersonal skills that makes you feel right at home ( pun intended) working with her. Organized, thorough, and hard working, really, a spectacular individual. **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Carmen. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am touched! You are such a delightful person and are so much fun to work with. **★★★★★ — Dipanwita Ray, Nov. 2021** > This amazing lady has been a life saver! I was living with an oddly shaped walk in closet clogged with boxes (from my previous apartment set up) and all my actual useful stuff not having an assigned home, and therefore also a cluttered bedroom. With covid times, and being home bound I started feeling the need of working on having a zen space more and more. > I reached out to Victoria for help (seeing her apartment pics on insta) she was so soo professional. She asked for pictures ahead and we already had an idea what we wanted to do. Then she visited very briefly (equipped with the cutest measuring tape) and literally worked out all the details for me. Two of the biggest things - 1. gave me ideas that I did not even know I wanted and would make me so happy! 2. Made me realize it will need to be work in progress (I had always thought it needs to be fixed over a weened, so always been overwhelmed and got nowhere). I could put before after pics (but do not judge me for my mess :P)!! It is still work in progress - but I am loving the process. Will be ever so thankful for this lifechanging help. > The other stellar part is she actually checks on me so regularly, that even if I get stuck/demotivated or distracted with work, the little chats gets me right back on to the process. > Stay tuned for before/in-between/after pics :)! **Comment from Maya Residential Design:** > Hi Ray! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review. I am so happy you are loving the process to turn your space into a beautiful home. It has been a pleasure working with you. ## Selected projects - [Heppner Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heppner-residence-pj-vj~7979809) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: Heppner Residence \| A Thoughtful Transformation This whole-home renovation in San Jose, California, was guided by a simple philosophy: beautiful spaces should be as functional as they are inviting. At the heart of the transformation was a thoughtfully relocated and redesigned kitchen, planned to improve circulation, accommodate multiple users, and create a welcoming space for everyday living and gathering. Warm natural maple cabinetry establishes an organic foundation, complemented by a richly v… - [The Villages Fairway Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-villages-fairway-neighborhood-pj-vj~7810656) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: For her forever home, our client envisioned bathrooms that felt like a quiet retreat—spaces that would offer calm at the start of the day and restoration at the end of it. She came to us seeking guidance on the space layout and material selections for both her primary and guest bathrooms, with a clear vision: something zen and calming, feminine yet refined, and designed to feel both unique and timeless. We began by thoughtfully reworking the layouts to maximize openness and functionality. Becaus… - [Redwood Oaks Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/redwood-oaks-neighborhood-pj-vj~7808729) - Location: Redwood City, California - Photos: 19 - Description: This ADU was designed to feel like a deep, refreshing breath of fresh air — open, airy, cozy, and instantly welcoming. We paired white cabinets with white quartz featuring soft gold veining, then added gold hardware and fixtures to bring subtle elegance to the kitchen. To ground the space, we installed wide-plank oak floors with warm undertones, which brought natural warmth and balance to the bright palette. The bathroom became our spa-inspired retreat, with warm porcelain tile floors, marble-li… - [Corona Heights Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corona-heights-neighborhood-pj-vj~7130436) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 55 - Description: This project was all about creating a cozy, eclectic, and boho-inspired home by blending what the client already owned with new pieces that brought texture, color, and personality into each space. They had meaningful furniture and décor collected over time, so instead of starting over, we intentionally layered onto what was already there. We introduced soft textiles, warm woods, woven accents, playful pillows, vintage-inspired rugs, and natural materials to give the home that relaxed, collected-… - [Belmont Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belmont-woods-pj-vj~7033574) - Location: Belmont, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: In the quiet charm of Belmont Woods, our clients wanted a home that didn’t just look beautiful — they wanted it to feel like a soft landing. A place where their family could curl up on a Sunday morning, and where guests would walk in and instantly feel like they belonged. This project was all about intention. We reimagined the furniture layout to open up conversations, sightlines, and the energy of the space. Every seat has a purpose, and every angle invites connection. Nothing feels staged; it… - [Mood Boards](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mood-boards-pj-vj~7033744) - Location: San Mateo, CA - Photos: 5 - [Farmhill Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhill-neighborhood-pj-vj~7034583) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 15 - [Terrabay Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/terrabay-neighborhood-pj-vj~6862865) - Location: South San Francisco, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: This refresh in the Terrabay neighborhood of South San Francisco is the perfect example of how a budget-friendly project can still feel luxe, intentional, and deeply personalized. Our clients loved their home, but it needed a spark — something fresh, something cohesive, something that made them walk in the door and exhale. And honestly? We love a project like that. Smart updates + thoughtful color = magic.

We tailor our designs to how you actually live, ensuring the space reflects your personal aesthetic rather than a rigid style. **Do you provide full-service design or design-only plans?** At Maya Residential Design, we aim to simplify your renovation process by providing comprehensive design services. Our approach includes thoughtful planning and practical layout solutions to guide your remodel from concept to completion, ensuring your space is intentional and functional. We'd love to discuss the specifics of your project. **Do you create optimized layouts for small or challenging spaces?** Absolutely! At Maya Residential Design, we pride ourselves on developing "practical layout solutions" to create spaces that are truly functional and intentional, regardless of their size or challenges. We specialize in optimizing layouts to maximize usability and beauty in every kitchen, bath, or home remodel. **Do you assist with cabinetry and fixture selection?** Yes, we certainly do! As custom kitchen and bath designers, we assist with all aspects of your project, including the selection of cabinetry and fixtures. Our goal is to ensure these elements align with our "timeless design choices" and contribute to a beautifully lived-in space. *FAQ content may be generated based on the Pro's Houzz profile and website.* ## Community Q&A **Q: Loooong hallway - help!** *(in Paint)* What should I do with this long hallway? The first photo is the view coming from the backdoor. The other two photos are looking at it from the other end. Right now it's pretty boring. It's only about 3ft wide so not a ton of room to look at artUncertain about paint colors, artwork - any suggestions are appreciated! A: Hi Joanie, I would probably start by getting rid of the hanging lantern/light fixtures as I see you already have recessed lighting and add sconces instead if you need more light in the hallway as you do not get any natural light. I would keep the color palette in light tones, whether it’s paint or wallpaper, to brighten up the space, or if you like more of a moody vibe, you can definitely do dark tones. This depends on your personal aesthetic as well as what you already have going on throughout your home to make sure it all looks cohesive. I would also opt for large scale art work for the walls so it looks more proportionate to the space. Assuming that you are not doing any structural changes and can’t move that closet door at the end, I would consider replacing it with a sliding door or pocket door. Lastly, I would also consider a runner to make the space feel complete and add depth and dimension. I offer complimentary initial consultations. Feel free to inquire about it. :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-10.*
