We loved working with Kendra. When we came to Kendra, we weren't sure what kind of a remodel we wanted. Right off the bat, she was so efficient with her time, and transparent about the process. We were able to choose what level of fidelity we wanted, and iterate on ideas quickly. She has a great balance of experience and knowledge without being pushy. She truly listened to what we wanted and our lifestyle, and designed a home around that. She was able to design a home that was literally beyond our dreams, beyond what we even thought was possible. She is also very open about costs, so when we would have an idea for something, we immediately would know what kind of budget that would require. This was so helpful in our decision-making process, and set us up to build the right kind of house for our budget. She has great connections to the local community around Los Altos, and helped us push things through quickly. I think many architects are talented and have connections, as Kendra does. However, what set Kendra apart was how easy she is to work with. She doesn't have an ego, and is so dedicated to her clients all the way through the project. If there was a problem, she was there to fix it. If I built a home again, I would ask Kendra to design it.

Kendra made the impossible happen for our home. What was a home in great need of a facelift, she brought an idea into fruition, during the height of Covid no less, and our home looks incredible. Kendra is detailed, effective, and just overall brilliant. She pays attention to the details of your vision, can handle strong demands while maintaining great professionalism throughout. I hope we can work together again!

Kendra is absolutely AWESOME. She is incredibly competent, a very creative problem solver, has flawless follow-thru, makes herself available whenever you need her, she is assertive without being pushy, she is a great listener and always tried to meet our needs while ensuring we understand the trade-offs on both design and budget. In addition, she is an absolute joy to deal with. During our one-year full-house remodel, Kendra's high competence, ability to always find an effective way to address any issues and clear and calming approach where such lifesavers. When I count our blessings, I count Kendra twice! I would wholeheartedly recommend Kendra without any reservations! She is the best!!

Kendra helped us "move a few walls around in our home." Her creativity was inspiring and helped us get more out of our home update than we expected. She provided support throughout, including recommending a few reputable contractors from whom we could get bids.

Kendra did a wonderful job designing our loft conversion. We were very happy with the service she provided us and her attention to detail.

I hired Kendra to reconfigure and add an extra room onto a Los Angeles home that was built in the 1940s. I've worked with a number of architects and she was the most original, most creative, most organized, most responsive and did the best job of anticipating problems before they occurred. Looking forward to hiring her for my next project.

Kendra was an amazing architect to work with. We did a complete gut of a 3,000+ sq. ft. and we worked with Kendra for the project. She has a great sense for design while keeping in mind space, light, and functionality. She strikes the perfect balance between designing the overall space and flow while paying close attention to details, which isn't the case with all architects. Her professionalism, timeliness, patience, and pleasant personality are also huge pluses especially in dealing with such a large project.

Kendra is a pleasure to work with. She is professional and knowledgeable and gave us lots of options about how to approach our remodel. She never tried to upsell us but rather offered clear advice geared toward exactly what we said we wanted. She also had ideas for the space we haven't even thought of. We can't recommend her enough!
