She has excellent contacts in the valley and we were able to see products for our home quickly. Valerie is very diplomatic and kindly steered us to make wise choices. We love our place and appreciate the good advice Valerie provided. You will enjoy working with Valerie, we highly recommend her. **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you! We loved working together and are so happy you enjoyed the experience. **★★★★★ — Sheryl M., Nov. 2023** > Valerie and Fanny are first class professionals! Absolutely loved working with them and appreciated their excellent service. I have a background in design and construction so my standards are high. We were very impressed by how well they listened and how easy they were to work with. I wouldn’t do another project without them. Simply the best creative process with a laundry list of local businesses to procure items. Valerie did our entire house and we are beyond happy with the results! **★★★★★ — pberon, Dec. 2022** > Chimera Interior Design is simply the best. The level of professional detail and inspiring design choices has turned our home into a warm, beautiful, and peaceful place to live. Chimera also helped with the construction phase of our project and helped the contractor solve problems -- Val has significant experience in proper construction techniques that helped to prevent problems and enhance the house. > Truly a full service firm!! **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you! We really enjoyed your sense of adventure and are glad you love your new home. **★★★★★ — brotherhelen, Dec. 2022** > We have been working with Valerie at Chimera Interior Design on a major renovation project, and she is the most gifted design artisan we’ve ever worked with. She quickly developed an understanding of our vision and her design is first rate from conception to completion. We particularly appreciate her collaborative process, and she is quick to redirect if our ideas do not bring value to the overall design vision. She brings sophisticated, unique ideas, along with invaluable resources and direction to the project. > > Valerie a true professional and delivers on her promises. We couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product. We cannot recommend Chimera Interior Design more highly. **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > We really enjoyed working together on your project and are so pleased you love the results!! **★★★★★ — Elise Eberwein, Dec. 2022** > We found Valerie on Houzz and she is the best designer we’ve worked with. Responsive, listens to what the client says, sources in a creative way, understands cost sensitivities and recognizes more expensive doesn’t always equate to more beautiful or the best fit. She helped us curate items for a house in Carefree and we could not be happier with her service. We have the perfect balance of some higher end items where it counts, like the comfy couch that looks great AND invites the nap scenario the husband envisioned, as well as some lesser expensive things that fill the need. Highly recommend! **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you! Your project allowed us to be creative and really enjoy ourselves. Glad you love the outcome!! **★★★★★ — C LC, Nov. 2022** > We had the pleasure of working with Valerie and her team team on our remodel and could not have had a better experience. Valerie is a world class designer - creative, thoughtful as well as patient with us as we made selections - she made what could have been an overwhelming project actually doable, and fun. We can't wait to work with her again on our next project. **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you. We also look forward to the next installment!! **★★★★★ — Lisa Cohen, Jan. 2021** > We found Chimera Design right here on Houzz. We were in the midst of moving cross-country to a blank canvas, non-distinct home. We had a vision for renovations, so we wanted to find a designer who was willing to listen. Valerie worked with us long- distance as she got to know us and our design mood. She even visited our property before we arrived so that she could experience the space and begin putting together a project idea board. > > Working with Valerie was always productive. She knew our creative desires, so she always brought samples and presentations that put us right on track. Valerie gave us top-notch references for interior/exterior painter, flooring installation, AC/Heating maintenance, and other home service companies. > > This home is now full of life, character, color and dimension. We are thrilled with this design collaboration! **★★★★★ — Maureen Ross, Dec. 2020** > We used Chimera Design to help us with a renovation on our second residence in Scottsdale, AZ. Valerie and Fanny were wonderful. They designed, coordinated with the contractor, helped with moving our belongings out and back in, they installed the new furniture, rugs, art, window treatments — everything — all during the pandemic while we were mostly not in town! Valerie just takes charge and knows the right questions to ask the contractors and the right things to think about when making decisions. Chimera made what seemed like an overwhelming project very easy for us as clients! Worth every penny and then some! **★★★★★ — jrpeters14, Dec. 2020** > We have used the services of Chimera Interior Design on three houses, at this point. The first two engagements were both for a significant portion of the interior design, but neither was a 100% project. Valerie was so helpful that for our newly purchased second home we decided that the third engagement should be for the entire house. Every thing that has been presented to us was very professional and we have found that the suggestions are coming from someone who fully appreciates our style preferences. She listens carefully. We have found her to be quite creative whenever necessary. She has also delivered high quality furniture to us at reasonable prices. We very much enjoy working with Valerie and Fanny and we are pleased recommend them. **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you! You are both a pleasure to work with!!! **★★★★★ — Vina, July 2020** > I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Valerie has been so helpful with furnishing our new house! The final design was flawless and timeless. She gave us much needed direction for arranging the awkward spaces in our house and provided a truly functional layout that is also beautiful! Plus she did it within our original budget! The designs are also presented beautifully as a digital layout and I was able to visualize the room before the furniture purchase! **Comment from Chimera Interior Design:** > Thank you Vina! You were also a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — L Vineyard, June 2019** > So very easy to work with! Valerie and Fanny are wonderful professionals that understand beautiful design and making that work into a livable space. **★★★★★ — Raymond McCall, June 2019** > This is our second project with Valerie. We just bought a new, large condo requiring substantial work and design. She assisted on all phases of the project from wallpaper, lighting, furniture and built-ins. She works well with us as well as with contractors. She exhibited flexibility, creativity and persistence. We can't wait to see the final project. We would hire her again. ## Selected projects - [Flagstaff Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flagstaff-contemporary-pj-vj~7296974) - Location: Flagstaff, AZ - Photos: 29 - [Rio Verde Modern Desert](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rio-verde-modern-desert-pj-vj~7426492) - Location: Rio Verde, AZ - Photos: 21 - [Inviting On Ivergordon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inviting-on-ivergordon-pj-vj~7298304) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 11 - Description: This new construction home is designed with family, friends and fun in mind.
