She listened very well to what type of home we wanted and brought it to life in her architectural drawings. Her artistic background was evident and helped greatly in desinging our new home with our vision in mind. She responded and worked very hard to complete the drawings for us on our timeline. We start construction very soon and cannot wait to see her work come together. Thanks again Val!! Bill and Nichole ### All 59 reviews **★★★★★ — Patterson House, Sept. 2025** > Val was wonderful to work with! She listened to our needs and desires and came back with options that we fell in love with the first time she provided drawings. Val made the whole process easy for us and she was very warm and communicative the whole time. If anyone we know is needing services she provides, I would be quick and happy to recommend Val. Thank you so much Val! **Comment from ADIDA:** > What a pleasure it was working with you! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review and if you need anything in the future don't hesitate to reach out. **★★★★★ — Iris Lubbert, June 2025** > Valentina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She listened closely to our goals and delivered a remodel plan that met every one of them. Her years of experience were invaluable—our home has a unique layout that required some creative problem-solving, and she approached it with both insight and ingenuity. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful architect. **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you so much for the kind words, Iris. I appreciate it very much. It has been a pleasure working with you. I can't wait to see the final results of the construction. **★★★★★ — Becky Gilson, April 2025** > Val designed a very unique house for our very unique site. I had a clear idea of what I wanted and strong opinions about almost everything, and Val patiently worked through all the details with me, and designed a house that is beautiful, but with all the thoughtful details that make it functional. She has a joyful, positive spirit, and was never dismissive, even when I had crazy ideas. Getting the design right is so important, and I have no regrets at all that we hired Val to design our home. **★★★★★ — Jodi Whittaker, April 2025** > She is extremely knowledgeable in designing and understands architectural elements. She was able put our ideas/dreams into tangible plans. She listened to our desires and made suggestions based on what we wanted and not on what she thought we should have.

We would not hesitate to refer her to anyone looking for an interior designer. **★★★★★ — Store Manager ProSource of Kalamazoo, Feb. 2025** > Val is an exceptional collaborator, demonstrating a keen design sensibility and meticulous attention to detail that effectively addresses the needs of her clients. She dedicates ample time to ensure that her clients' desires and requirements are fully met. Since I began working with her in early 2024, she has consistently been transparent about her expectations and objectives. Val arrives with accurately scaled drawings, allowing us to visualize the depth of our ongoing projects and optimize the use of space. She has quickly become one of my preferred designers at the Kalamazoo Prosource showroom, and I am truly appreciative of the partnership we have cultivated over the past year. Keep up the outstanding work, Val! **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you very much for the kind words! It has been such a pleasure working with you as well, and I look forward to continuing our relationship on future projects. **★★★★★ — Kirshman Kitchen Design Studio, Dec. 2024** > We absolutely love working with Val and Team Adida!

We recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated architect. **★★★★★ — R. VanDyke Builders, Dec. 2024** > I have had the pleasure of working with Val on a couple of different new home projects now, and each time I've received comments by the homeowners on how happy they are with her designs. She is a great listener and her attention to details far surpasses the 'norm'. One comment that I've received more than once verbatim is: "We love Val".., followed by whichever reasons they feel this way, and why. I always appreciate her unique design and a style, which allows us to blend our capabilities for interior trim-work for such a beautiful 'fit & finish' for our clients. I look forward to our continued work with her, and I confidently recommend her!! **★★★★★ — HU-296225373, Dec. 2024** > We worked with Adida on a couple of interior design projects for our church. Val took time to understand our needs, expressed her ideas and helped us execute our plans efficiently. She was a wealth of knowledge and great at communicating with us throughout the process. Not only are we very pleased with the results but it was a joy to work with Val. We highly recommend her. - Paula Glenn **★★★★★ — Wendy, July 2024** > It was our pleasure to work with Valentina on our new home design! We interviewed four architects and chose Val based on her passion for our project, her training and experience, and her integrity. Val listened and took notes on everything we said. She worked very hard to design a home that would meet all of our expectations. She provided sound feedback that helped us make good decisions. Val didn't stop until we loved the design. We will begin building soon and I am confident we will have the home of our dreams! **Comment from ADIDA:** > Hi Wendy, I truly appreciate your kind words. It was such a pleasure to work with you and help on your dream home, it is going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see how it comes along.

It was such a honor to be able to partner with you on your project & I cannot wait to see the final results. **★★★★★ — Dorothy Hatfield, Sept. 2023** > Valentina is a marvel! My husband and I purchased a small ranch house (only 1200 sq ft) after deciding to downsize and had no idea how to make it work for us. After meeting with us, Val came up with not one, but three concepts, each of which proved to us that she had listened and internalized our needs and wishes. i hope to work with Val again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough. Forget 5 stars, I give her 10 stars! **Comment from ADIDA:** > Dorothy, it was such a pleasure to get to know you and work on your project!! I truly appreciate the kind words and please let me know if there is any way I can help you out on future projects. **★★★★★ — Sherri Rivers, Sept. 2023** > We had a great time working with Val. I was very nervous about having someone design our family home. But we were very pleased at how she listened and was very creative in how she designed our space for us. Building is just getting underway and we can’t wait to see how her vision turns out. **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you very much for the kind words Sherri! It was a pleasure getting to know you, and I can't wait to see how your beautiful home progresses from here. **★★★★★ — HU-946497234, May 2023** > Valentina couldn't have been easier to work with. She made suggestions to the kitchen renovation that I had not thought of–very slight but significant in overall layout. Professionally, she is both humble and superb at her craft. Will most definitely be working with her again! **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you very much for such a positive review.

Thank you again, it is so appreciated! **★★★★★ — Jamie Korinek, Nov. 2022** > I can not speak highly enough about architect Valentina Velkova. My wife and I recently hired Val to design and create blueprints for a large addition to our home in order to accommodate our growing family. Throughout the entire process Val was incredibly responsive, kind and fair. And the work that Val did over the course of the project was absolutely brilliant. She is not only a supremely talented architect and artist, but she also has an wonderful eye for design. Our project included several unique features and inherent challenges and Val navigated us through the process with creative solutions that continuously improved upon our ideas and suggestions. We are recommending Val so highly not only because of her excellent work, but because she is honest, kind and has impeccable integrity. **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you so much for the review! Your words are too kind, this project was very special and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you again and I know you will continue to love the design. **★★★★★ — stevojuke, June 2022** > I really enjoyed working with Valentina! She was able come up with a kitchen remodel design for a challenging small layout working around a support column. I never would have been able to come up with this myself. I'm glad that Valentina put as much care and dedication into my small project as she does with her larger projects. Valentina was great at communication and I will miss our phone conversations now that the project is complete. Valentina also was a huge help in picking out the floor tile, subway tile, cabinet style and colors, and even the carpet for the rest of the house. She has a real knack for this, and it shows. **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you very much for the review. Your kitchen remodel was such a fun project to be a part of, and I'm thrilled you are loving the design. Stay in touch & let me know if there's any other design dilemma's I can help you with in the future! **★★★★★ — HU-490565601, June 2022** > Val is a great designer and wonderful person!

It’s evident she has been designing for awhile. We would highly recommend Val to anyone looking to design their custom home! **Comment from ADIDA:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and I could not be happier with how your lake home design turned out. I can't wait to see the finished product. **★★★★★ — Rob Miller, June 2022** > My wife and I had wanted to transform our home we built in 1989 to the home of our dreams. To accomplish this we realized we needed expert help so we interviewed several excellent architectural firms. We were most impressed with ADIDA and after meeting and talking with Valentina it was a perfect fit. Valentina was wonderful to work with as she listened very intently to my wife Kathy and my vision for our major home renovation and offered excellent ideas and advice that helped guide us to meet our goals. > > The results are that we are in construction and the project is moving very well, in large part to the outstanding work Valentina did and the package she produced.

We are planning to build our dream retirement house within the next couple of years. We had a general idea of the look and layout that we wanted but didn't have enough knowledge to put it on paper. Val helped us put our ideas on paper, she listened to our ideas very well and gave us great practical advice (saving us money in the long run). She helped us visualize our dream house and delivered designs that are well documented and showed good forethought to the end result.

She goes out of her way to make sure every detail is in place and carried out. **★★★★★ — Searra Inman, March 2021** > This wonderful woman spent hours designing a space that accommodates our newly handicap daughter. Her knowledge, professionalism, and compassion for every client she works for has truly been a one-of-a-kind experience! She puts her heart into her work and her expertise truly provided us with confidence in her design and excitement to see her art become reality. She is very easy to work with and her focus is always on what the clients desires. She takes the time to understand what is wanted and really has a gift for putting her clients thoughts and ideas into a visual reality. I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication to her clients and commitment to excellence.

You have provided an element of freedom and “normalcy” to her life by giving her back her independence in such a beautifully designed space. **★★★★★ — jsechrist1961, Sept. 2020** > Val was fabulous.

Valentina provided us with an amazing floor plan that is perfect for our lifestyle. She listened to what our needs were and came up with creative design solutions.

We had a somewhat unusual request for an 'as is' Drawing of our cottage home. She was very accommodating and willing to do this without committing to further involvement. I am sure that when we are ready to proceed with our renovations we will work with her. She was very helpful and not at all 'pushy'. I did not feel any pressure to fit in to her agenda. She was very fast and got us the product at a very competitive cost. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Wendy Wassa, Nov. 2017** > Valentina (Val) was a true pleasure to work with. She far exceeded our expectations and worked tirelessly to meet our very short timeline while staying on budget.

After Valentina gathered all the information she was able to quickly identify issues with our original ideas and then offered multiple other ideas that even exceeded our initial thoughts. She tirelessly worked with the strict building codes and local township rules to develop a blue print that satisfied all concerned parties. With the final prints in hand we realized that she was able to blend all our qualifications with the existing structure in the space that was allotted. Valentina's insight into structure, codes, design, aesthetics, layout, and final décor, really helped us to get a good grasp of the project before we started. **★★★★★ — Lisa Bowser, Sept. 2017** > Valentina is a very knowledgeable, talented and delightful professional.

Valentina manages to get the gist of what we and the customer are trying to accomplish, leaving enough room for both her and all of us to create.” **★★★★★ — doornjr, March 2016** > We felt very overwhelmed when we first thought about adding on to our 100 year+ old house. There are so many things you just don't know because of it's age, but Valentina was very knowledgeable about old structures and knew just what to look for. It wasn't just about the addition, but about the structure and foundation. She gave us solutions that made all the previous old additions fit seamlessly into the house. Her worldwide experience was very helpful and we would definitely recommend her. **★★★★★ — Hawks Hollow Builders, Feb. 2016** > ADIDA, Inc., is a pure joy to work with! We have worked with Valentina on several projects. She always brings fresh ideas that meet or exceed our expectations and that of our Clients. She takes the time to listen and incorporate the client's must-haves with what will work in their space and really goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met. Valentina also makes herself available when it works for our Clients schedules, which makes scheduling meetings easy and convenient. She really cares about how you will live in your home and you can see that in her details. We are eager to work with her again! ## Selected projects - [Traditional Lakefront Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-lakefront-home-pj-vj~7809395) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Historic Home Addition And Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-home-addition-and-remodel-pj-vj~7668141) - Location: Portage, MI - Photos: 46 - Description: Step inside this stunning transformation—140 years in the making.
