She provided creative and inspirational design ideas within the mid-century modern style I sought. She was also able to procure pieces at very reasonable rates. Finally, she showed tremendous effort and responsiveness from project start to finish. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an attentive, creative and responsive designer who really knows how to "put it all together" in the end. ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Michael Pellis, Nov. 2016** > Very Talented and versatile designer. extremely dependable and can work within tight budgetary and timeline constraints. A great asset to any design team with high quality, professional results. **★★★★★ — Leslie Brown, Nov. 2016** > Patricia was a real joy to work with - very skilled at working in our existing pieces, creative and spot-on in identifying those changes where we would get the biggest bang for our buck, and sensitive to both our life stye and creating a holistic look for our apartment. She is a relentless shopper - meaning you need only say yes or no! and really excellent at the follow-through including her negotiations and monitoring with our contractor. ## Selected projects - [Charlottesville Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charlottesville-residence-pj-vj~7361201) - Location: Charlottesville, VA - Photos: 15 - [The Carriage House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-carriage-house-pj-vj~7321622) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: This ADU was a full gut renovation project, the original structure, built in 1916 was in very poor condition when we started construction. We were able to salvage the existing floor upstairs but everything else in the space is new. This was a fun but very challenging project but love the end result!
