cJem Designs, PLLC

We did a total overhaul of a 1912 home to preserve its charm but to also make it work for a modern family. Jessica helped us to make it happen! We came in with a good idea of what we wanted and she took that input, offered suggestions, and gave us a great starting plan for our renovation.

Jessica Larsen was amazing from start to finish. She takes the time to listen and understand the clients needs prior to doing the first set of drawings. She uses her experiences and understanding of space and design to create a space better than the client (me!) could have imagined. She keeps the project fluid so changes are welcome. Her level of service is unparalleled - I cannot recommend her enough!

In short, Jessica Larson made my dream home a reality! I had some rather unique ideas and Jessica took the time to listen no matter how crazy they seemed at the time, visit properties that were my inspiration and then turned my crude sketches into a home that is a perfect fit for my lifestyle (and budget). She met all deadlines and was responsive to questions and feedback throughout the process. Jessica was able to add stylish design elements while focusing on value engineering and her deep understanding of appropriate room sizes and layout made all the difference in my home feeling both comfortable and truly unique. She was both professional and fun to work with and I will continue to highly recommend Jessica to my friends, family and real estate clients.

Jessica was very friendly and helpful. She provided everything we needed from her to produce permit and construction drawings for our builder to use. I would use her again.

Working with Jessica was a pleasure. I came to her with big ideas for our home renovation and she made it a reality. I truly had so much fun bouncing ideas with her and rearranging things to make our perfect space. I would absolutely recommend her!

We were fortunate enough to contact CJEM Designs to help with a large home renovation in Asheville NC. Jessica Larsen was extremely professional and brought ingenuity to the design. She was with us every step of the way and made a creative but functional design for our home. She took the time to get to know our family and what we wanted and needed from the design to make our dream home. I could not give a stronger recommendation for CJEM Designs.

The personal touch provided by c.Jem far exceeded our expectations. Despite being geographically distanced from c.Jem, they invested the time to conduct 3 site visits to assess both our home, as well as the surrounding area to design initial drawings for our renovation. c.Jem was easy to work with as we provided feedback on the designs, and they ensured our priorities were folded into each option, as well. c.Jem helped us scope our project to keep us within budget, and would provide feedback on which concepts would stretch us too far. What we loved most about c.Jem is that the designs were extremely practical and maximized the use of small spaces to make your home both welcoming and efficiently designed. c.Jem's attention to detail, knowledge in design and construction, and hands-on involvement will make any homeowner beyond lucky to have the opportunity to work with them!

Jessica was wonderful to work with. She carefully questioned me about my goals and desires for the project. She definitely made this my project, but with her professional input, advice, and knowledge. She worked with experienced, skilled carpenters who built our house. They have worked on many projects with many architects and only had high praise for Jessica. Her management of the project was very professional and stress free.I couldn't be happier with the whole project. She is a joy to work with!

Jessica spent quality time with us regarding our project and even helped us communicate with the potential contractors. We have never worked with an architecht before so this was uncharted territory. Jessica was able to provide great feed back and help us navigate. I would highly recommend Jessica to other people needing an architecht. She is very professional and always shows up on time. Her work is amazing. Not only did she give us our dream screened in porch but her portfolio of previous jobs is amazing!!!

Jessica Larsen is an amazing design professional. She brought a wealth of knowledge, experience and creativity to our house design. Before we started the project, we gave her a few photos of what we were looking for and she designed a beautiful structure that fits the site perfectly. The home is well situated to take advantage of the views and natural light, while also taking into account window placement for privacy from neighbors. The floor plan is efficient and flows very well, with comfortably sized room and with minimal hallway/wasted space. Throughout the design process, Jessica was very responsive to our questions and needs, and she was prompt with making revisions and changes. She has a cheerful attitude that makes it fun to work with her. I would highly recommend Jessica Larsen to my friends and family.
