It was a smooth and highly satisfactory experience working with Petra. She was very flexible with scheduling our meetings, especially accommodative of last minute schedule conflicts. She presented two different conceptual designs initially, and when we requested additional changes, she thoughtfully came up with an entirely new concept. She takes great care to understand our requirements clearly including small details and cultural considerations such as Vastu, and incorporates them thoughtfully into her designs. Her renderings are extremely impressive and helped us visualize the space effectively.

We had the pleasure of working with Petra and Eddit on a project to redesign our home. From the very beginning, Petra took the time to listen carefully to our needs and helped us envision the best possible outcome. Our project was quite complex, involving a full reconfiguration of the existing floor plan and the addition of a second story. Petra presented us with three beautifully thought-out design concepts, each one creative and unique. We were truly impressed by how she incorporated even the smallest details of our requirements into the designs. The results were gorgeous, spacious, and perfectly aligned with our lifestyle. We are extremely pleased with Petra’s thoughtful approach, professionalism, and ability to translate our ideas into such inspiring designs. We would highly recommend working with Petra on any home design or remodeling project!

Petra is an extraordinary designer and an absolute joy to collaborate with. As a general contractor, I’ve worked on dozens of projects with her—from floor plans to interior finishes (FF&E)—and her talent never ceases to impress. She brings a rare blend of creativity, technical expertise, and practicality. Petra doesn’t just make spaces beautiful—she makes them work. Her eye for design is impeccable, and her deep understanding of construction allows her to create layouts and finishes that are both stunning and efficient. Working with Petra elevates every project.

We are absolutely thrilled with the conceptual design work from Petra. The scope of our project includes an 850 sf addition and remodel of our entire house (1350 sf). From the very beginning, Petra demonstrated a remarkable understanding of our vision and lifestyle. She patiently listened to our needs and preferences, and then translated them into a stunning and functional floor plan that exceeded all my expectations. Petra's entire process was seamless and streamlined. Throughout the project, she offered creative and innovative ideas, and was adept at problem-solving, ensuring that any challenges were addressed efficiently and effectively. She collaborated seamlessly with my general contractor, ensuring that the conceptual plans aligned with the construction timeline and budget. Her expertise and guidance were instrumental in bringing my dream home to life. Her professionalism, creativity, and commitment to client satisfaction are truly exceptional. More importantly, she transformed what would have been a stressful and overwhelming process into a fun, enjoyable and organized journey. We are excited to continue working with Petra on this project as we enter the construction phase!

Petra has an incredible attention to detail and is a true professional. She listens and is flexible to your personal style, but will help guide you to ensure that you end up with a beautiful end product. We were hesitant about spending more money on some of the tile and finishes for our new bathrooms, but I am in love with the result. Also, she was respectful of our choices to work around some of our existing materials and found ways to incorporate new finishes that elevated the entire current kitchen. We love our "new" home! Thank you Petra!

Jennifer Sandusky

We are absolutely thrilled with Petra's ability to understand our family and the way we live day to day. Her insight led to a design that we are excited to have in our home—it’s not only beautiful but also perfectly aligns with our lifestyle. After discussing our needs, she collaborated with our contracted company to create proposed plans that tackle the challenges of remodeling our old, quirky home, all while staying within our budget. Petra has also taken care of scheduling appointments with various companies for cabinets, windows, appliances, and more. Given our busy schedules, her creativity, organization, and dedication have been invaluable.

Comment from Creative Partner - Home & Design:

Thank you so much for your kind words Jennifer. I’m thrilled the design not only reflects your family’s lifestyle but also brings beauty and function to your home. It was a pleasure to collaborate and help streamline the process for you. I can’t wait to see it all come together in your beautiful space.

Carl Engel

Petra was brought on to our full home remodel project as our interior designer by our design-build contractor, and we’re so happy she was! After a discussion about our priorities in design (timeless, functional, and high quality, while still cost-conscious vs going high-end just to make a statement), Petra leaned into our vision (embodied by our Houzz Ideabook and a few meetings) and provided invaluable support and insights throughout the process. She did a great job decomposing an intimidating mountain of design decisions into manageable pieces while ensuring we understood how they’re interrelated to keep everything cohesive. Our kitchen is the focal point of our house, and many of its features wouldn’t have existed (or at least been quite different) without Petra’s guidance, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The same is true for our bathrooms; each has a different purpose and feel, and she made our ideas come to life. She leveraged her network of vendors to explore possibilities and work the best pricing once we narrowed our options. We spent countless Friday mornings with her on field trips looking at cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, etc. We can’t imagine how much more stressful our remodel would have been without her support! We’d 100% recommend her to anyone who was doing a remodel and was looking for some professional guidance!

I'm truly grateful for your heartfelt review Carl and thrilled to have been a part of your home remodel journey. It was a pleasure turning your vision into reality and making your space truly special. Thank you for putting your trust in me and for the kind words. Wishing you many wonderful moments in your beautifully transformed home!

Thinking I could redesign and select all materials and colors for my master bathroom renovation was overambitious. I selected Creative Partner based on experience and areas of expertise. Petra assisted with design layout and provided color schemes, fixture ideas and minor details I wouldn't have considered without her assistance. Petra focused on my personal style then provided guidance in a world of overwhelming options. Petra is professional, punctual, organized, direct and well connected with various stone, tile, and cabinet vendors in the area which is a direct reflection of the respect they have for Creative Partner. Without hesitation, Creative Partner will be hired for my next home project.

Thank you so much for your kind words Andrea. It was a pleasure assisting you with your bathroom and I look forward to our next project together.

Robert Miller

This is our 2nd remodeling project we've worked on with Petra. We just concluded the process of having Petra completely redesign our kitchen, dining room and living room, including a home addition. From beginning to end, initial meetings through submissions of plans for city permits, it was a pleasure to work with Petra. She is a true professional who listened closely to our needs and desires and translated our vision into a realistic design. Petra opened our minds to ideas we initially rejected and we couldn't be more pleased with the final house plans. I highly recommend Petra and I can't wait for the next opportunity to work with her.

Thank you for trusting me again Robert. I'm so happy we were able to design the best floor plan for your family's needs. I hope you are enjoying your new space.

Petra was invaluable in guiding me to discover the look and feel I wanted when remodeling my primary and daughter's bathrooms. Working with her was a pleasure; she's straightforward, surprises us with new design ideas, and always thinks about cost and functionality. Petra understands value, so you can end up with a bathroom that looks like a million bucks without spending a fortune on materials. Going material shopping with Petra was very efficient and a lot of fun. Her ideas quickly helped solved design challenges. As a result, both bathroom concepts fell into place quickly. Petra is creative, detail-oriented, and has excellent "taste." Petra brings a ton of experience and goes above and beyond to help her clients. I will continue working with Petra on future remodeling projects, and I highly recommend her as your next home designer and remodeling partner.
