She helped me design my kitchen 10 years ago and it still looks timeless. Her choice of fabrics are ones that will always have a classic appeal. I have never been disappointed in any of the choices in fabrics and furniture that she chose. I look forward to working with her on a future project. **★★★★★ — travelqueen24, July 2016** > Patricia Gorman and her company did a fabulous job on our beautiful home in Aspen Colorado last year. She was very organized, and included me in every decision making. That was important to me. I love her exceptional taste and creative personality. Wish she had done my house in Florida. I would highly recommend her company to anyone. **★★★★★ — Mark Keating, June 2016** > Patricia Gorman has done numerous jobs for us, including 2 major renovations of our home. The second renovation was after a fire had severely damaged our home. She draws architectural plans, thinks of everything important, and always has innovative design details for our projects. We've always been pleased with the businesses that she contracts with. She and everyone in her office does excellent work. They meet every deadline and work with every budget. **★★★★★ — tgibson810, June 2016** > Patricia Gorman Associates is a top flight design firm led by an outstanding designer, Trish Gorman. She has helped us with 2 diverse properties, one a traditional, old Pennsylvania stone house , the other a Florida new build. Her ability to adapt and develop a casual elegance in totally different venues is truly amazing. She has the ability to push things to a conclusion without being pushy. She can present several unique and creative alternatives without being overwhelming . She is very constructive at the concept stage, yet can be a stickler for detail at the implementation stage. > We are about to embark on a 3rd home and would not consider working with anyone other than Patricia Horman Associates. > > Tom & Sophie Gibson > Villanova, Pa. **★★★★★ — HU-440884, June 2016** > Trish and Erica did an excellent job helping me layout and furnish my first home. The walked me through the process of sketching out a floor plan, establishing my needs, and creating a budget. They helped me to pick out statement pieces and build matching furniture and accessories around those decisions. Throughout, they offered me a ton of alternatives I wouldn't have otherwise been able to find and brainstormed solutions for challenging areas with me. They worked with me to understand what I wanted in my home and helped me to identify more reasonable or functional alternatives. They were a great sounding board, keeping me from overlooking details I might have forgotten otherwise. They also coordinated all the shipping and ordering, allowing me to travel while all the products were arriving. Working with them was a great experience and I am incredibly happy with the end result. **★★★★★ — Sue Stevens, June 2016** > Trish has excellent taste ,great design ability ,high energy and is fun to work with. We used her expertise for a kitchen project in our home many years ago and more recently she was a lifesaver when we downsized to a brand new condo. I especially appreciated her great service in our limited time frame in this situation. **★★★★★ — janewaz, July 2014** > Trish Gorman is the perfect company to use for any kind of project from small to big..Trish is a very experienced and lovely person that shows all the great qualities of a designer .
