**★★★★★ — Brooke Harding, Feb. 2019**

> Bryn is a fantastic designer to work with! We hired her for a major remodel to the back half of our house (master suite, mud room, laundry room). She is highly organized, works efficiently and communicates clearly and often. Her project management (organized permits, engineers and coordinated with landscape architect) made life so easy for us. We will use Bryn in the future for any additional work and highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — HU-351110748, Feb. 2019**

> Bryn is extremely talented and incredibly thorough with design!  Her familiarity with the industry allows her to anticipate construction needs while creating a space and exceeding all of the aesthetic goals of a project.  The architectural style and approach of BYoung Design is very fitting for the high-end residential market and beyond!
