Arizona's Award Winning Firm For Distinctive Design
Best of Houzz 20X

AB Design Elements is a residential interior architecture and design firm specializing in fine custom homes, remodels over 500k, and furnishings. We are a team focused on transforming homes and lifestyles through seriously beautiful design and we value client relationships, creative thinking, the importance of details, the power of positive thinking and the beauty of simple elegant design! We are proud to have earned dozens of design awards including (16) first place ASID Design Excellence awards and 'Best of Show'. Our projects are frequently featured in design magazines. Amy Klosterman has been named a 'Master of the Southwest 'award winner , a 'Dynamic Designer 2022' by Iconic Magazine, as well as one of 'Arizona's Most Inspiring Women' by Phoenix Home and Garden Magazine. Amy and her team continue to strive for excellence in customer contentment and unique ways to deliver beautiful and functional design for interior spaces. Interior architecture and design is more than interior decorating. Interior architectural projects can encompass a full renovation with plans and specifications that detail the relocation of walls, lighting, electrical, kitchen and bath layouts, and additional square footage, as well as coordination during the construction phase. We also work on custom new builds, which require comprehensive drawing and spec packages and close coordination with the architect, client, and builder to preserve the design intent while staying within budget and schedule constraints. The furnishings, art and accessories complete interior spaces and are integral to the style, 'feel' and functionality. Interior design is a fusion of balanced (and beautiful) design elements, a collaborative process and the realities of budget. It is architecture for the interior. We most often work on a flat fee basis based on your scope of work and square footage. We would love to hear about your project and discuss process and fees based on your project specifics!

Awards

- Masters of the Southwest Award - Dynamic Designer 2022, Iconic Magazine - Platinum 2020 NAHB Best of American Living (BALA) Award - Many ASID First place Design Excellence Awards over the years, including 'Best of Show' - Magazine covers and editorial features in luxury design magazines

Amy and Michelle are exceptional at what they do. Our house flooded and we wanted to take the opportunity to change from our Tuscan-style home to something completely different. With their guidance our house has been transformed to a beautiful, more bright and open home. They helped with every aspect and really took the time to listen to what we were thinking with these changes. From changes to the structure of the home to picking out furniture, we are so happy with what they did to transform our beautiful new home.

AB Design Elements were the perfect choice for our custom home build. We were looking for a team of true collaborators to help with interior design of the home which included everything from the elevations of cabinets, room designs, hardware, furniture plans for interior as well as exterior, furniture materials and fabrics, paint selection and the full vision we had in mind. Amy, Michelle and Grace skillfully guided us through what seemed like thousands of decisions to insure a beautiful outcome that took our families individual needs in mind. They truly listened and helped us think outside the box. We would recommend and work with them again on any future projects.

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you so much Cary and Ken--we have SO enjoyed working with you over these past 3 three years (?!) through all the design, construction and furniture stages of your new home. You are fun and flexible, and always positive!

Stephanie Davis

We worked with Amy and her team to design a kitchen and bar remodel, flooring and furniture. We thought we knew what we wanted to do, but working with Amy really helped us to be more thoughtful around our selections. Amy does a spectacular job balancing modern, timeless, and functional. We could not be happier with the remodel! It is absolutely stunning! She was also very helpful in providing referrals for a general contractor, and helping us to pick out lighting, plumbing fixtures, appliances, flooring, in addition to cabinetry selection. Amy also is knowledgeable about those functional "little" details that make a stunning kitchen and bar worthy of the best cooks. She is flexible in her thinking, but also not afraid to share her view which I love. And to bring this all together, Amy and team helped us with new furniture that is elegant but comfortable. Overall, FANTASTIC!

I am a interior designer So when I was doing a project in scottsdale , I wanted to find a designer that knew architectural design and was organized and creative. Amy and her team fits all of these requirements. She helped me complete a long distance project beautifully and working with AB Designs was a incredible experience. Strongly recommend AB Designs Elements.

Thank you Laura! I'll add photos when we get the project professionally photographed! It's beautiful and I've enjoyed working with you as a team!

She does so much more than planning decor! Her detail on finishes is amazing, tying together flow, functionality, and aesthetics.

Thank you Kurt and Christi! We really enjoyed working with you both and are so pleased with how your whole-home renovation turned out! I don't have any professional photos yet but I'll attach a couple photos from a recent jobsite visit before the project was done

My wife Lisa and I just finished a 1-year remodel with Amy from AB Design Elements, LLC, and La Casa Builders. When we were planning on this remodel with Tim Larson from La Casa Builders, we asked him for a recommendation for someone to help us with the interiors and design of the house. Tim recommended Amy to us, and we asked her for a proposal. This was one of the best things that happened on this project as Amy was an absolute joy to work with! Amy and her firm produced an unbelievable design that totally suits our lifestyle and what we like. Amy helped with the minor floor plan changes for the builder, and picked all the materials including plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, cabinets, tile, wood flooring and all new furnishings. When the house was finished, Amy had all the furniture delivered to the house so Amy and her team could place everything and to decorate with everything she had selected, purchased, and had custom made for us was an unbelievable experience for Lisa and me. It was like walking into a model home that was decorated just perfectly, perfect colors, perfect fabrics and everything was just well, perfect in our eyes down to the sheets and bathroom accessories. We have had nothing but great experiences with Amy. Amy and her team are always available to help through issues, design selections, and do this quickly and efficiently with ease. Amy has many talents, and besides her exceptional eye for design choices, she is very professional, talented, a pleasure to work with and has this understated grace and elegance to her. Lisa and I could not be happier and would use Amy again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Brad & Lisa Berry

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you so much Brad and Lisa! I say the same about you both--it has been so enjoyable to design your home for you and work with you. Your positive approach to things, flexibility, and kindness were big parts of the success of this project.

Having worked with Amy on a major home remodel in the past, we didn't hesitate to reach out to her when we decided to build our new home. Amy's involvement both from an architectural and design perspective made all of the difference in creating a home for us that we love. We love not only the way our home looks but also the way it feels. Amy took great care to consider our comfort and life style in making design and furnishing decisions. Amy is organized, efficient and professional. Her partnership with our builder was successful and appreciated by all involved. As he said to me, "she made my job easy to accommodate special requests for your home because she handed me the architectural design request on a silver platter". The builder was then able to take Amy's technically accurate drawings to the trades involved to work on how to make the vision a reality.

We did a top to bottom interior painting and 100% replacement of furniture, carpets and bedding in our cottage and Amy's team was outstanding from start to finish. This project offered some 'unique' challenges as our home is located on an island in the state of Maine and we were committed also to use available island contractors. Amy was very good at understanding the fabrics and style we like but also at pushing us gently into expanding our style and taking some risk. Those 'risks' turned into great results and we proudly show visitors what 'we picked out' :). Two additional traits we want to share about Amy are she is unflappable and she has the wonderful skill of being able to talk to anyone and build a trust and comfort with them. Fun to see brusque, loud island contractors quickly warm up to Amy and become amenable to changes on the spot. Finally, Amy was able to quickly source local companies for storage and fabrication as needed and coordinate movement of all to the island.

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thanks Harry and Carter! You know I loved this project and being able to goto the island to work on it was such a unique and fun experience. Thank YOU for always having a sense of humor and being flexible and open to new ideas.

Amy and her team have been great, she definitely has an eye for what is “current” and is a joy to work with. She is responsive, creative and won’t just agree to move on to the next item. We started this project over a year ago and we completely trust her to make selections/decisions when we are out of town. We can’t wait to see the finished project!

Working with Amy is always more than a fabulous experience! Her keen eye, her creativity, her personality makes every jobsite a joy to be part of. She always makes us feel a part of her team. She knows how to bring out the best in people, and I for one, am a better artist because of the creativity that she inspires in me!It is an honor to be a part of her vision for her clients, and I always look forward each time she includes us on her projects. Her clients simply adore her, and it is so easy to see why. She is genuine, and caring and her talent is unquestionable! She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Attached is a photo of one of the most amazing projects that we worked on with Amy. That is a master bath of your dreams! All hand painted and hand applied finishes, from the mica encrusted accent wall, the pearlescent plastered vanity wall and the handpainted soft metallic bathtub. The fireplace accent wall was another beautiful "canvas" to create upon, we created a one of a kind finish for her project to serve as a backdrop for the custom glass art piece.

I am a retired Interior Designer, when my husband and I we decided to do a project in Scottsdale, I wanted to enjoy the project and hire a designer that could also do all of the architectural drawings, etc.. I interviewed 3 design companies and hired AB Designs, it was Obvious Amy could not only create the designsI was looking for, but keep the project organize and on schedule. It has been incredible working with Amy and her team. I recommend her to anyone I know looking for Design assistance.

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you Laura--it has been fun working with you and we make a great team--bouncing ideas off of each other and enjoying a mutual respect! Our only issue is narrowing things down from all the amazing materials we know are out there! :)

From my first contact with Amy until the end of the project she has been very helpful. Her attention to detail made the project so much easier to enjoy. She stayed in contact with everyone involved during the work. I am extremely pleased.

January 20, 2020

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for us! Michelle and I really enjoyed this project--you were always open to ideas, and I think you made the right choice by staying in this home, with its perfect location and huge lot, and breathing fresh air into it with this renovation. We share credit with La Casa Builders who did a great job. I hope you enjoy entertaining in that kitchen with your guest-chef friends! :)

La Casa Builders Inc.

I am a Custom Home Builders and Remodeler that has worked with Amy and her team on a number of projects. She is a true professional who can hand draw concepts and has a very good eye for space planning and material selections. She also understand budgets and deadlines to help clients meet there dreams. I would highly recommend AB Design Elements for you next project!

December 18, 2019

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thanks Tim (and La Casa team!), it is always a pleasure to work with you--I feel complete confidence when La Casa is on board one of our projects--on each one, we all end up with a great home, a happy client, and a positive design and building experience!

Erin Coppola

Amy and Michelle were great. They worked with us diligently to ensure that we got our kitchen exactly the way we wanted it. They also had great suggestions for solutions we hadn’t even considered. We had a few coordination issues once we were handed off to the contractor, but we are overall very satisfied.

December 17, 2019

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thanks Erin! We enjoyed working with you both and I know you will enjoy many years of entertaining and cooking in that kitchen! I love your enthusiasm for cooking :) We try to recommend multiple contractors for just this reason--we do our best with the design part and then the GC's are that other leg of the stool. All in all, I'm really glad you're pleased with your space!

Julie Oyen

When we began our project I knew generally what I wanted, but I couldn’t quite articulate my vision. Amy took off with my vague “desert glam” ideas and focused them with her masterful skills and artistry. The end result is stunning and sophisticated, yet fun and unique. I love that our home has become a destination for our friends and family that we can be proud to share. The design process was fun and exciting, and made easy for us especially since we reside primarily out of state. Her clear and concise ideas came alive through her power point presentation of finishes, room-by-room. Each step of the way was easy and there were no surprises. The first time I arrived to our newly remodeled home when the finishing touches were being put into place, I cried - joyfully! I am thankful for Amy and her team and am beyond happy that we chose to work with AB Design Elements. This remodel is reflective of where we are in life right now. Its functional for our lifestyle yet fun and fresh. Cheers to Amy and her team at AB Design Elements!

Amy and her team were invaluable to the success of this project. My site team enjoyed her responsiveness and we appreciated the meticulous detail she provides throughout the project phases. Can't wait to involve her with our next client!

My husband and I hand-chose Amy to assist us with re-designing our master suite, reworking our kitchen lighting and sitting room, creating an addition that overlooks the McDowell mountain preserve and refurnishing additional areas in our home. Amy’s talent in sketching layouts, mastering spaces and removing boundaries to create ambience and flow is unparalleled. Her eye for beauty, her creativity, attention to detail and impeccable follow-through separate her from the competition. With Amy working on your team, you will not be disappointed in the process or end result. We would highly recommend her! She is the best!

Wow, thank you so much Karen! I loved working with you and Tony!

Amy is a very talented designer. I would definitely recommend her. We had a glitch with my sofa not being delivered for the holidays, but Amy went above and beyond and had a loaner delivered which I really appreciated.

December 29, 2018

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thanks Joan! Whew--those holidays and freight carriers caused us a wrinkle (!) but we came up with a solution and I'm glad it worked out for you and that you a place for family to sit and enjoy over the holidays!!

Estrella Cabinetry

I have had the pleasure of working with Amy on several projects. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is one of the most talented, award-winning interior designers I have ever worked with. Her style is both refined and stunning. Amy has excellent attention to detail resulting in work that is current and on point as well as timeless. One of the greatest qualities I appreciate working with other trades is their ability to work as a team. Amy is a consummate professional and a dream team leader. As a certified kitchen designer, working with a professional interior designer makes the project elevate to the next level. When hiring Amy, you are hiring one of the finest interior designers in not only Arizona but top tier nationwide.

November 17, 2018

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you so much, Laura. I am so grateful for your review--what a high compliment because I have mutual respect for you and your professionalism. The project we are completing together this month is going to be a beauty and your responsiveness throughout the process was so appreciated!

Light In Art

Amy and I have worked together for her clients lighting needs on multiple projects, and I am happy to say she is a pleasure to work with. She knows exactly what looks best in her clients homes, and the fixtures she choses are the perfect fit. I look forward to working with her on many more projects to come.

My expectations when I hired Amy were lofty, since she came highly recommended from our friends. She did not disappoint! Whenever I have talked to other designers in the past, they seemed either too eager to please (“yes, sure, we can do whatever you want”) or too set in their ways (“no, this HAS to be this way, or else it won’t look good”). Amy was the one designer I felt comfortable with because she is right in the middle: she took my ideas and goals into account, but she still provided the guidance and expertise I needed to make my space look beautiful and pulled together. Amy was so patient with me! I came with a lot of ideas, and she listened carefully. I wanted a space that was casually elegant yet at the same time comfortable, colorful, fun, and functional for our family of four. We hired Amy to furnish our foyer, large living room, and dining room. Coming from New York, we were used to a much smaller scale, and we were wowed by the high ceilings and romantic Spanish architecture of our new house in Paradise Valley. I wanted the space to feel fresh, modern, and bright, but I insisted on respecting that Spanish character. Amy helped me achieve just that - she has an expert eye for color, dimension, texture, and everything else to consider in design. Now the interior of the house seems to blend seamlessly with the exterior. We love how the space looks and feels, and what’s best, we actually use it all the time. And here is what I liked best about working with Amy: not only is she very professional and good at what she does, she is also a kind person — so friendly, so sweet, so happy — in short, a true pleasure to work with.

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

I am so thankful for this review and your kind words. You are such a gracious person so it was a pleasure working on your home. In the beginning we all brainstormed about how we could blend the spanish architecture with the vibrant blues and oranges, your love for abstract art, and the ghost chairs that you had. I feel like, as a team (you, me and michelle (and sandra in there too for awhile)) we made that house into a home. Thank you for taking the time to write this--I really appreciate it.

Amy and her team were wonderful to work with for the renovation and expansion of our home. They were involved in every step from construction to furnishing. The results are beautiful and practical. We get lots of compliments but what I'm most grateful for is how well our home functions for our family.

I am such a fan after working with Amy on this project! Amy has that confidence that comes with being a well-respected, award winning designer but she also has the quality of being easy to work with and was open to ideas from the client and the team. As builders, we know the value of a talented designer- if they are good, they are worth their weight in gold. She is also able to help the client make quick decisions because she listens and is then able to present spot on choices that fit with the client's goals. This helps the project progress smoothly and on time. The design of the interior of this project is a 10! I absolutely LOVE what she did and we highly recommend her!

Jack London

I have been a photographer for designers and architects for a long time and I've never been more consistently wowed than when I've visited one of Amy's projects. Her vision for a space in a wide variety of design motifs is so creative that it's no wonder why her projects regularly grace magazine covers and win ASID awards. When I meet the homeowners they rave about the collaborate process and how the end result was not just beautiful, but changed the way they use and feel about their homes. I would recommend Amy to anyone looking to put their trust in a talented designer's hands and transform anything from a bathroom to a whole house.

March 9, 2018

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you Jack, you have photographed many of our projects over the past years and I so appreciate your artful eye for composition, your kindness and patience, and always quick turnaround. I love working with you!

Gene Mascoli

We are retiring here in Arizona and bought our first new home. Having to furnish and decorate a completely empty house was a daunting task for us. We turned to AB Design. They made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Being an Arizona home, we wanted a totally new design style, one that fit in with the Southwest. They worked with us to come up with a style that is contemporary and fresh. The end results fit us perfectly, and all within budget. We also appreciated that they took time to understand our tastes and design needs for our new home. They explained the design process and pricing at the onset. For most of the process we were in California. That posed no problem. They were prompt with their communications and went the extra mile. Amy is a true design professional and fun to work with! Her “assistant” Michelle is equally great to work with, got back with us on questions and requests very promptly and all with a positive attitude. We highly recommend AB Design.

Thank you so much Gene and Kay. It was a pleasure working with you both and we hope you love your Arizona home for many years! We really appreciate your kind words!

We were blessed to work with Amy and her team on the long distance remodel of our Troon home. Amy is a talented, professional and responsive designer who confidently guided us through the process of designing our retirement dream home. She respected our budget and input as owners, flexible and quick to respond to change orders. Her contract delivered exactly what she promised at the price we anticipated. The contractors she provided were also exceptional and spoke highly of her. We are very pleased with the finished project and enthusiastically recommend AB Design Elements.

Thank you Angie and Scott, I loved working with you as a team and appreciated your design eye as a professional graphic designer, Angie. We exchanged ideas, balanced costs together and I feel really pleased with the remodeled home. I appreciate your kind review!

Tracy Kross

My husband and I hired Amy to do a master bathroom remodal. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our project! We started the process by collecting pictures of master bathrooms we liked and elements that we wanted to see in our bath. We met with Amy and she was able to help us define the style and look most appropriate for our Santa Fe style home. Amy has a wonderful sense of style and was able to translate her ideas into beautiful plans with tangible finishes. She is very knowledgeable with design elements and was able to create a relaxing, meditative zen like space. Amy was also a great communicator during all aspects of the project. We have fallen back in love with our home and will enjoy this remodal for many years to come!

June 1, 2017

Comment from AB Design Elements, LLC:

Thank you so much, Tracy (and Joe)! Michelle and I loved working with you on this project--what a transformation. You were open to ideas and you contributed some of the elements as well--what a beautiful chandelier that is! Most of all, we appreciated your always smiling, positive personality--it makes a project like this fun and gratifying. Can't wait to see it published --the magazine comes out in about a week!

Amy makes it look so easy. She picked out everything with what appeared to be little effort (I would still be trying to decide). She has a natural instinct that you can trust from the get go. The final results were even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am so happy that I hired Amy to make our dream home come to life. Amy is truly a gifted professional.

AmyAnn Curran

Amy and Michelle were wonderful to work with and they were able to capture our family of 7 perfectly. We wanted the home to feel warm and inviting and that's what people say when they walk through the door. We were building a custom home and they were there every step of the way. From picking out light fixtures and finishes to furniture layout and and all the stuff that makes it look complete. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

We worked with Amy and Michelle to decorate and design our new home in AZ. We started with bare walls and they did a great job of designing cabinets and shelfs in a difficult space. They had lots of resources and artisans to make this unique to us and beautiful as well as functional.

Thank you Linda! We enjoyed working with you both and are so pleased that you love your Scottsdale retreat!

Amy Block

We hired Amy and Michelle to decorate our vacation home 2 1/2 years ago. We were living on the East coast, and anticipated the distance to be a challenge. Well, they were a pleasure to work with! If samples needed approval, they sent them. If we were in town, they made time to come over for decision making. But most importantly, the rooms they designed for us turned out beautiful! We challenged them to stay on our budget, which they did as well. Amy is very quick to come up with clever ideas, as she has an uncanny ability to visualize what will work in the space. We are now moving into a larger home in Scottsdale, and look forward to them making this home as beautiful as the last.

Amy has great taste and attention to detail and is the best designer I have had the pleasure of working with. She understands the end point vision of her clients and works extremely well with the other contractors who help deliver her ideas to her clients. I would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for a designer to create a wonderful space for their home.

Thank you Mary! You are a machine when it comes to the details, and trying to help the client save money but preserve the design intent--I appreciate that. Your late night texts make me roll my eyes with um.....appreciation (ha!). thanks for being such a professional partner in this detail-oriented business of delivering beautiful design and a positive experience.

Jacki W

Amy has been a tremendous help with our project. Ideas just flow from her as she goes along. She is specific, gives examples and pulls everything together so the end result is beautiful and looks effortless! Without her, I would have been lost. In addition to being creative and having wonderful taste, Amy is one of those people in life who exudes peace and happiness. I've enjoyed working with both Amy and Michelle. I recommend them for anyone who wants to make their "space" (room, house, addition, garage, etc) beautiful and functional.

Thank you Paul! I really appreciate your vote of confidence and your team over at Facings of America tile. It's an important source for us to create unique and beautiful spaces and it's always good to have the benefit of your sense of humor and excellent customer service.

Amy helped us redesign our kitchen and we plan to have her design the rest of our house. She is extremely professional, organized and efficient. Her ability to plan strategically is second to none. Additionally, she's very talented, thinks outside the box and offers options I could not have come up with on my own. She's incredibly creative with an eye for details. Perhaps, what I appreciate most is Amy's ability to ask all the right questions, listen so intently and pinpoint your style. She follows through with everything she says she will do and you can always count on her! You can shop with her or you can't go wrong having her pick out options to present to you that are exactly what you are looking for in color and style. Quite frankly, she kept our entire project on schedule and organized, from working with the contractor, selecting colors, fixtures, appliances, plumbing and more. She is the person responsible for our stress free remodel. It's been very comforting having her work with us. She truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Amy and we can't wait to have her remodel the rest of our house after the holidays.

Thank you! You're both great to work with and I appreciate your enthusiasm! Love your beautiful home--

Our first project with Amy started in December 2014. Amy and her teams professionalism and abilities has exceeded our expectations every single time. Amy has the unique ability to articulate our ideas into amazing designs for our home, in fact she managed to bring our personalities to life in her designs so much so (it might sounds silly) but it brought me to tears. We are now starting our second project with Amy and will continue do so for many years to come.

Carol and Martin, thanks so much. you two are so fun and we love your openness to artful funky design. when we finish this next area we are working on we'll get some professional photos of the various areas and post them here on Houzz. In the meantime here's that night shot of the lighting in the front living room, and some of the finishes we had done in that area.

We have been working with Amy Bubier for the last six years. We started out with needing to furnish and decorate an entire home. This later evolved into a complete redesign and remodel of the same home. When we began our remodel, Amy's talent, vision and creativity were what provided us with the security that we would love every last detail in our home once completed. We are nearing end of this enormous project, and we truly could not have survived this renovation without her vision and detail oriented skills. She always works with a smile, even when the outcome of one detail is not met to her standards :) She is patient, positive and thinks outside the box which is most helpful when renovating a home built in the 50's! We can't wait for the final results of this transformation, and we will keep working with Amy until the last pillow has been fluffed!

Thank you Michelle! You are a joy...beautiful taste, gracious personality, incredibly resourceful and detail oriented. We are almost to the finish line of this phase and I'll include some progress photos here. I appreciate your loyalty and teamwork through the years. We'll post final photos under Tasset on our website and on houzz as soon as it's finished!

Amy and Michelle developed a design that challenged our notions of what was possible while also respecting our tastes and budget. We are very pleased with the process and the effort expended on our behalf. We love the remodel and have already recommended Amy to others.

I was referred to AB Design (Amy) several years ago. We began working together on a kitchen remodel that continued into renovating multiple bath areas and general updating of the decor. Amy and her team have been wonderful to work with. They are respectful of timelines, budgets and owner's wishes. They provided artistic input and helped me overcome my inability to make decisions - exactly what I needed. I highly recommend using AB Design Elements for a successful outcome for your project.

AB Design Elements is a great design company to work with. I saw a room that Amy the owner designed and immediately reached out to her by email in 2011. I was surprised but happy that she responded. Amy is an award-winning and very busy designer but she found the time to send me fabric samples, designs and ideas (I live in New Jersey, Amy is in Arizona) and never once made me feel that what I wanted was not worth her while as a designer. I now have a lovely nook in my living room that always gets compliments for the easy chair, pillows, lamp and accent table that I got through Amy. I recently worked with Amy to get pillows for a sofa, and just like the first time, the results are wonderful. Amy does a ball pillow that is fabulous and amazing; you could give it by itself as a gift. It is not just a big old round pillow, it is beautifully made and shaped. Sometimes it seems that the interior decorating and design world exists only for the very wealthy, so it is really nice when a company like AB Design Elements doesn't think your project is not important. Thanks Amy! Lisa

A true professional. We have worked with Amy on several area rug projects. Amy not only pulls together rooms that are incredibly appealing to the eye, but she is additionally knowledgeable about the products that she places.

Amy and her company were highly recommended to us by our friends who were very happy with what this company had done for them. We cannot recommend her highly enough: Amy was always professional, wonderful to work with and did a superb job decorating our home. The professionals that she brought in were also of the highest caliber and Amy supervised and was responsible for their work. Our daughter in Boston has now hired Amy to renovate and decorate her home.

We worked together from the beginning of the print stage all the way to completion. Amy was great to work with and gave me many options and price points for all the major items. She was very good at keeping within the budget and always gave me very constructive suggestions. All the furnishings were completed the day the house was completed. I think I only had to wait on a few specialty candles. I appreciated her professionalism and now have a fabulous finished home, thanks to her! I cannot thank her enough.

Azusa Builders LLC

Amy stands out at the top of my very short list of designers that are a delight to work with. While creating outstanding design for the client, she also accurately communicates the design with detailed specifications and drawings. Very few interior designers are effective in one of those aspects and yet she accomplishes 5 star effectiveness in both. Amy quickly resolves project problems whether it is a construction process issue or a design issue. Last, but far from least, she is so darned easy to work with. I would recommend her to any client. But for all of those reasons above, I could never recommend her to work with any of my competitors. Tim Morris, General Manager, Azusa Builders Home Improvements without the Headaches

I especially love the great room fireplace and the choice of materials that embellished the architectural design. I feel very lucky to have such wonderful clients and to work with quality people like you who make me look so good! You're an immense talent and I'm proud to be a part of your winning team!

Amy and her team have worked with my wife and I for 2 or 3 years now. We love Amy because she spends the time to understand the specific situation for each project, before she starts to give us her ideas and recommendations. This is really important to us and makes her special. Over the years we have had some projects that were large in scope where we were willing to spend more, and where we gave fewer restrictions to Amy and her team. In other cases, the projects were smaller in scope and in less used areas, so we wanted to try to be more budget conscious. Once she understands the parameters and context of the project, she is amazing at providing value for the budget she is provided with. She has produced many exceptional spaces in our home that receive compliments each time we have visitors. The spaces have many components which are very unique. She brings ideas that we don't see in other places or photos. Her ability to bring in those unique components is also a big reason we have enjoyed working with Amy and why we will continue to work with her in the future.

Amy Bubier was recommended to us by our architect 9 years ago when we were undertaking a substantial remodel and addition to our Scottsdale residence. Right away we appreciated Amy's taste, professionalism and her thoroughly enjoyable personality. She simply "nailed it" time and time again when it came to pulling together a look that we loved and still love to this day. She has an impeccable eye when it comes to bringing together color, fabric, textures and pieces that make rooms interesting, functional and oh so comfortable. Amy selected some incredibly talented artisans to custom make some amazing statement pieces, and introduced us to some very cool new materials for table surfaces that have a real wow factor. Amy is my first phone call whenever I have a design project, whether for our residence or our business...she is simply the best and a true joy to work with. I have referred Amy time and time again to friends, and to a person they have appreciated her talent as much as I do. She is a tremendously talented designer, and a wonderful person to work with.

AB Design Elements was hired to remodel both of our business office locations, as well as our home. After working with Amy in our office locations, we were certain we would hire her to redecorate our home. We love Amy's style and sense of color. Her design is clean, simple and modern. She gives warmth and style to any room. She is very creative and knowledgeable. We get lots of compliments on both of our office locations. AB Design Elements has been able work well with our budget. They are able to find art, window treatments, and lighting at reasonable prices.

We engaged ABDesign Elements to redesign a floor plan, oversee construction of major structural changes and create an inspired finished look for half of our home. The finished spaces are a guest casita, dry sauna, home gym, a large media room for sports viewing and playing pool, a masculine guest bedroom, and a spa inspired bathroom and meditation bedroom. This project was completed by AB Design Elements with brilliance, knowledge, competence and creativity. We gave Amy Bubier our complete trust and she wowed us with new spaces that we are living in and enjoying every minute!

We began working with Amy Bubier last year, and just recently completed a residential project with her where we built several pieces of furniture and some large floating shelves. We have enjoyed the process and learning how she works and designs. We could see the attention she gave to each detail, and found her ideas unique and interesting. Her clients have confidence in her to act on their behalf, and are thrilled with the results. We would definitely recommend working with her whether you are a design client or another professional. Thanks Amy, we're looking forward to future projects together!

We have hired Amy Bubier to work on multiple projects-home and commercial for the past 8 years. These projects varied in scope and cost. We continue to use Amy for the following reasons: 1. Amy is a pleasure to work with. She listens, respects, and guides. 2. Amy designs with architectural skill. 3. Amy is aware of costs and helps one make educated decisions on purchases. She does not assume one has unlimited resources. 4. Amy is a positive influence during the stressful times of projects. I will continue to use AB Designs for any of our future needs.

Amy Bubier really turned our house into a home! We have been consulting with Amy since 2009, and we still call her anytime we are ready to take on a new project--no matter how big or small. She is extremely easy to work with. She has so many ideas for every space in the house. Amy listens to what you are looking for and takes your opinion into account. She also works within your budget. We have received many compliments about our home, and not just from friends. I enjoy being at home. It is stylish yet comfortable. If you use AB Design Elements, your end result will far exceed your expectations!

AB Design Elements, did an amazing job with our daughters room. Their design concept was creative, versatile and useful. It was so beautiful that HGTV.com featured it. The job was done in a timely manner and was within the budget we desired. We highly recommend working with this company and Amy Bubier was delightful to work with.

I've hired AB Design Elements for a number of homes that I have remodeled. The most recent project was a home built by noted Phoenix architect Ralph Haver. Amy's finished product, pricing, and work processes are second to none. I'd highly recommend her to anyone who demands the best and requires a thoughtful designer with a well trained eye for detail.

I interviewed several interior designers and contractors for our home remodel. Of the many that I spoke with, Amy was the most creative in finding solutions to complete our remodel within our budget and not compromise on the vision of the finished product. Amy was very responsive to any questions or changes we had in the design and made sure the project was complete to our satisfaction from start to finish. I was very tentative coming into the project as I had never remodeled a home before and Amy made it fun and the process far exceeded mine and my husbands expectations.
