**★★★★★ — mikecarnegie36, Sept. 2016**

> Oomph Design owner, Ian Graham, did a remarkable job not only providing the design for our renovations (kitchen, family room, sun room, front hallway) but also helped us find a contractor and worked along side the contractor.
> We are thrilled with our renovation!!

**★★★★★ — staff67, Sept. 2016**

> We came to Ian with a rush design job for a bid proposal. He was FANTASTIC! He met us on-site, took photos of everything and created a blue ribbon presentation that wowed our prospective landlord. He brainstormed with us to create a new logo and business name, and even stopped by at Staples to check on how my final print job was turning out!  He is a visionary, an artist, a cheerleader and coach through projects from start to finish.  His energy and imagination are unsurpassed.  As soon as I finish this rating I am emailing him to get him started on revamping my current business image: paint, furniture, logos and signage.  Can't thank you enough, Ian.

**★★★★★ — joebotz, Feb. 2016**

> We had asked for a modern contemporary design which still felt cozy. Oomph has successfully converted our concept from ideas, to paper to construction. They are literally a one stop shop for all your needs from architectural plans to interior and exterior design. Ian is also a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Sandra Pate, June 2013**

> Ian, of Ooomph Design, did the entire design for our renovation. He was extremely professional, timely and full of wonderful suggestions. The fee that we paid to Ian for our project was the best money that we spent on the entire project. We are thrilled with our house and very appreciative of all of his expertise.

**★★★★★ — syakimoff, May 2013**

> It was a pleasure to work with Ian on our kitchen and main floor renovation.  He listened to what we wanted and delivered a great design!  He also communicates really well and kept us posted on any changes required.  He also worked very well with the contractor.  He is very creative and comes up with innovative solutions to any design problems.

**★★★★ — Greg Hewitt, May 2013**

> Ian from Oomph helped us design our new home from start to finish.  He was professional, insightful, creative and really listened to what we were looking for in a home.  The finished product is stunning and we get many compliments on the design from guests.
>
> He made recommendations that we would never have thought of ourselves - best example is getting us to look at custom built-in millwork in many rooms that complement the design and are extremely functional.
>
> My wife and I would highly recommend Ian and Oomph and would make ourselves available as references for his work.
>
> Cheers,
> Greg and Alida

**★★★★★ — shelleyvanbenschop, Feb. 2013**

> I loved working with Ian. He has a beautiful portfolio of both modern and more traditional projects. He is open, supportive and has a great sense of humour. We encountered many structural surprises in the renovation of our 100 year old house and whenever issues arose I felt that he was our advocate. His vision resulted in a spacious, light-filled, modern master bedroom and ensuite that we will enjoy for many years to come.

**★★★★★ — museumdental206, Dec. 2012**

> Ian graham principal owner of Oomph Design is by far one of the most professional people I have had the pleasure to work with.  He is respectful of the client’s vision and always finds ways to turn that vision into a reality.  Ian’s knowledge and experience of products and contacts super exceeded our expectations.  Ian's great attitude and disposition made working with him on a daily basis as stress free as it can be under construction deadlines.
> Being a dental office in downtown Toronto in a building owned, designed and occupied by Page and Steel put many constraints and obstacles that Ian was able to work effectively around and give us a design that is elegant and modern with a warm and relaxed spa like feeling.
> We would recommend Oomph Design.
> Thank you Ian
