She and her team are professional, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. Brianna helped me come up with a realistic budget (which prioritized the parts of the house that really mattered to me) and was able to stick to the budget and timeline for each remodel. If there were delays in product availability she was able to quickly find replacements that met the budget and were in the style of the project. The worksite was always clean at the end of each day. She always communicated to me the progress, any updates or changes in a timely manner. I would recommend By Design Collaborative to anyone in the Phx area who is planning a large or small remodel. ### All 12 reviews **★★★★★ — Norah Zayne, Nov. 2025** > I ordered a kitchen remodel from By Design Collaborative. They were professional, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout. The team communicated well, kept me informed, and helped realize my vision perfectly. The quality of work and materials exceeded expectations. Although the timeline was tight, their management ensured the project stayed on track. Overall, a smooth and satisfying experience with great results. **★★★★★ — Vince, May 2025** > We hired By Design Collaborative for a major kitchen and living area renovation, and they exceeded all expectations. Their service was professional, attentive, and top-notch. They delivered the project on time and on budget, with outstanding craftsmanship. Highly recommend them for any home improvement or design-build work. They are also a fun team to work with during a stressful time! **★★★★★ — skyhuff, March 2025** > Very positive. We considered trust to be one of the most important features of hiring a contractor and By Design did not disappoint us. We really counted on their experience and expertise in remodeling our bathroom and closet area. The project was done in a timely manner with consideration to our schedules. They handled the ups and downs of the project with creativity thoughtfulness. **★★★★★ — Holland Desmarchais, Nov. 2024** > The By Design Collaborative team was very helpful in walking through a huge project with us. They had some great design recommendations and were very responsive in all our various formats of communication. Our projects, the renovation of a Casita, extension of existing home as well as a new garage all came out beautifully and we are very happy with the results. Their showroom is beautiful and they have many material options to meet your needs. We particularly enjoyed working with Scott, their painter. Their electrician also did a wonderful job. We have had a couple things pop up since completion and they have been very responsive in coming out to take care of them. Would recommend. **★★★★★ — skyhuff, Aug. 2022** > We had an incredible experience with Design Collaborative during our total remodel project. They were responsive, careful, attentive and friendly. The project was done on time, and within our budge. Briana gave us weekly updates, and kept us in the loop. I really appreciated the time she spent helping me pick out everything from overhead lights to my backsplash. All in all, a great experience **★★★★★ — Becky, Aug. 2022** > They were detail oriented, professional, flexible, tried their hardest to save us money, and were very helpful and persistent when dealing with insurance. We had no doubt at any point that they had our best interest at heart and were working very hard for us. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt, Aug. 2022** > Design Collaborative worked with us to design, install a fireplace with electrical insert and mantel. They built a wall to place the TV above the mantle and also placed stone around the fireplace. Two shelf cabinets were designed as well on each side, with granite tops. All stages of the project from Design, construction and finishing touches were performed in an excellent professional manner. Everyone was pleasant and worked with what we would like and wanted. We would highly recommend them for any home projects that you have. **★★★★★ — Water leak and mold remediation, July 2022** > Brad and Briana were both so helpful after a major roof leak and mold issue in my house. They communicated with me every step of the way and made the process so easy. They were even helpful with recommendations as I was working with my insurance company. **★★★★★ — Mary Lombardi, July 2022** > After our home was run into by a drunk driver; By Design Collaborative has gone above and beyond to help us through the restoration process. They did a beautiful job on the house, taking care of things that we never would have thought of. They guided us through the insurance process and made sure a structural engineer was here to inspect everything. We are truly grateful for all their help. **★★★★★ — Scottsdale Client, July 2022** > We used By Design Collaborative for a completely gutted Master Suite, Office, and Master Bath remodel. This project was unplanned and prompted by a sudden problem with a very old soaking tub that was leaking and needed to be removed immediately. We were overwhelmed and literally had no idea what we wanted. They assessed the space and meticulously discussed our current needs and future desires. They then began the design exploration phase with us. We came to this stage with NOTHING! Not one idea; no Pinterest boards, not even a favorite color! BDC was awesome! They gave us just enough design ideas and choices that we felt empowered but not so many that we felt paralyzed to make a decision. The process was seamless. The quality of the products used, and the professionalism of the trade’s teams were awesome. The flow of the project was outlined in detail, and we knew at every step what was happing next. We loved partnering with BDC and can’t wait to use them on our next project! **★★★★★ — HU-994400, June 2022** > By Design did a phenomenal job with our remodel and design. We didn't really know what finishes and materials we wanted to use and Briana and Brad were not only knowledgeable but helped us understand the process and what to expect. Not only did they help with the design they were able to model everything in 3D so we could see what our home would look like after. Our expectations were blown out of the water. The project was done on time and on budget, and the finishes were better than we could imagine. I will be using By Design for all my future projects they are the best of the best. ## Selected projects - [Arcadia Spa Retreat & Kitchen Refresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arcadia-spa-retreat-and-kitchen-refresh-pj-vj~7725481) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 7 - Description: When these homeowners purchased their Arcadia property, they quickly realized the previous “flip” left much to be desired. While the finishes looked acceptable at first glance, the layout and design lacked thoughtfulness, flow, and the level of detail expected in one of Phoenix’s most desirable districts. They brought us in to reimagine and elevate the home, starting with the master bathroom. We completely redesigned the space to create a true spa-like retreat. Our signature By Design Spa Tower… - [17th Glen Master Bath & Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/17th-glen-master-bath-and-fireplace-pj-vj~7725476) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 9 - Description: For this project, we originally began designing a very elaborate reimagining of the master bathroom. However, midway through the process the homeowners decided they would be selling the home within the year. With that in mind, we pivoted our approach—utilizing the existing layout while modernizing the space with a strong focus on maximizing return on investment. The master bath was transformed with bold yet timeless finishes, updated cabinetry, a freestanding tub feature wall, and a striking cha… - [Paradise Lane Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-lane-bathrooms-pj-vj~6989921) - Location: Glendale, AZ - Photos: 4 - [Nisbet Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nisbet-kitchen-pj-vj~7589957) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 9 - Description: This kitchen renovation was a long-anticipated project for a couple we originally worked with years ago on their master suite. We stayed in touch and had been discussing this remodel ever since. When the timing aligned, we were thrilled to dive in and create a space that fits their lifestyle and love for entertaining. A key design feature was the custom-height island—designed to alleviate back strain for the homeowner and provide an inviting gathering space for guests. We also transformed a long… - [Mid-Century Modern ADU](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-adu-pj-vj~7589945) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 15 - Description: This Phoenix ADU was thoughtfully designed for a young family who wanted to create a welcoming, independent living space for their grandmother—right in their own backyard. The challenge: design a compact yet comfortable home that honors their love for mid-century modern design while blending seamlessly with the main residence. We incorporated signature mid-century elements like clean lines, warm wood tones, and minimalist finishes. The exterior was custom-built to match the architecture of the e… - [Scottsdale Multigenerational (Exterior)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scottsdale-multigenerational-exterior-pj-vj~7589928) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 9 - Description: A Multi-Generational Property Designed for Connection and Comfort This Scottsdale property was reimagined from the ground up to create a cohesive, multi-generational living environment. Our clients came to us with the goal of building a forever home where three generations could live side by side—while maintaining privacy, independence, and functionality for everyone. City code restrictions prevented a detached garage, so we designed a connected garage structure with two distinct sides: a side-e… - [Biltmore Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/biltmore-condo-pj-vj~7589947) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 15 - Description: This condo remodel was a full-circle moment for a couple who purchased the property in the early 1980s. After years of renting it out, they returned to Arizona for retirement and asked us to turn their longtime rental into a welcoming, well-designed home for this next stage of life. We fully gutted the interior, selected fresh finishes that would maximize brightness and space, and created an open, functional kitchen. In the master bath, we removed an outdated marble tub and built a generously si… - [Paradise View Master Bathroom Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-view-master-bathroom-suite-pj-vj~6948593) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 5 - Description: This master suite was designed as the ultimate personal retreat—equal parts luxury, wellness, and thoughtful functionality. The expansive layout features a large walk-through shower with multiple spray options, dual toilet rooms for added privacy, and a serene freestanding tub framed by arched niches and natural light. An infrared sauna and an adjacent exercise room with its own wet bar elevate the space with wellness-focused amenities, while custom cabinetry and a beautifully tiled gas fireplac… - [Scottsdale Kids Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scottsdale-kids-addition-pj-vj~7589924) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 10 - Description: This custom addition was designed as a dedicated wing for the children of a growing family—referred to us by a past client. The vision was clear: create a space where the kids could relax, play, and entertain friends, while giving the parents the ability to host in a separate area. The result is a well-appointed extension featuring a shared living space, two bedrooms for the sons connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a private ensuite for their daughter. At By Design Collaborative, we pride our… - [Scottsdale Multigenerational (Casita)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scottsdale-multigenerational-casita-pj-vj~7589919) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 9 - Description: A Downsized Casita That Doesn’t Sacrifice a Thing This custom casita was designed as a full-time residence for Grandma and Grandpa—just steps away from their children and grandchildren in the main house. As they transitioned from a larger home, we worked closely with the family to ensure the new space offered all the comfort and quality they were used to, in a more efficient and manageable footprint. The result is a casita that feels every bit like a high-end custom home. From a spa-inspired bat… - [Paradise View Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-view-master-bedroom-pj-vj~6948589) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 2 - [Paradise View Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-view-living-room-pj-vj~6948587) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 2 - Description: This living room started out very dated, dark and heavy. We made the room feel much taller by removing the chunky corbels from the beams and adding drywall over the dark tongue and groove ceiling. Most notably, we removed the corner river rock fireplace and relocated a custom hand built modern firebox accented with LED lights that give it the appearance of hovering just above the European Oak hardwood floor. To complete the look our craftsmen installed mitered edge 4'x8' Onyx porcelain slabs lai… - [Paradise View Dining Room, Butler Pantry & Wine Cellar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-view-dining-room-butler-pantry-and-wine-cellar-pj-vj~6948583) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 3 - Description: When we first walked into this room we were greeted with a built in hutch in the shape of a clam shell that would feel right at home on the set of a live action Little Mermaid remake, but not so much for an elegant dining area. Dining Room - We started by removing the dark and bulky light fixture and installed a modern LED fixture suspended by thin cables to allow for the back lit coffered ceiling to be seen. After removing the clam shell hutch we met with two of the top wine cellar designers in… - [Paradise View Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-view-kitchen-pj-vj~6948584) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 5 - Description: This kitchen was very dark and busy with ornate hand carved wood work and staggered height cabinets combined with a two level kitchen island. We gave it a modern bright makeover by building soffits down to the double stacked cabinets with backlit frosted glass and lots of indirect LED lighting. Our team brainstormed with the owners and designed the kitchen based on their cooking style and with entertaining in mind. The 10+ foot long book-matched island holds one of the two kitchen dishwashers, a… [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/by-design-collaborative-pfvwus-pf~944018787) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1107791658.m3u8?s=763d30876056ba1b2eef6e623c5392684c264feb&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you manage permitting and approvals?** Yes, we manage the entire project from concept to completion, which includes coordinating all necessary trades and ensuring a smooth process.
