Deana is truly gifted in her craft. She transformed our space into something I could have never dreamed up. Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and attention to detail were exemplary. Deana and her team over-performed at every turn. Deana listened and delivered across the board. I can not wait to use her again on my next project!

Deana is a great designer and a real joy to work with! She's energetic, full of sophisticated ideas, and knows how to communicate them effectively to the client and the construction team. Her attention to detail and organization, coupled with her impeccable taste and technical design skills, help her stand out as a top professional. As an architect I particularly appreciate her ability to see a project through from beginning to end - working not only as design team, but also project managing to help ensure everything runs smoothly for the homeowner. This kind of comprehensive approach helps everyone save time and money. We are currently working with Deana on several projects including a major home remodel in Laguna Beach. Deana's thoughtful, focused listing to the homeowner's needs, and concerns, helped her interpret them into just the right designs, materials, colors, and furniture selections. The homeowner could not be more pleased, and the builder and I are equally happy with her ability to communicate her ideas with us. Deana has the rare combination of talent and business skill. I look forward to my next project with Deana and strongly recommend her to those homeowners who need a great interior designer for their project!

She really gets in touch with the vision you have on your mind and just makes it better than what you could imagine! Her team is professional and amazing to work with.

Deana has helped me immensely throughout the years. No one told me that your Interior Designer also becomes your therapist. Had I known that, I would have started my remodel years ago!! She is a consummate professional and her work is absolutely exquisite.

Comment from Duffek Design & Development:

Thanks for the kind note Laura. Therapist, marriage counselor, financial advisor, there are several roles we seem to fall into! No matter which role we are in, our goal is to help our clients in whatever way we can.

I highly recommend Deana Duffek Design and Development! Deana is one of the most professional and organized designers I have ever worked with. She is so thoughtful about how she works with her clients and how she takes time to work with her team to ensure each and every client achieves all of their desired goals. Her projects are works of art!

Deana and her team take the hassle out of remodeling. They were there for me every step of the way. I really wasn't sure what I wanted, but they were able to take my ideas and completely transform them in to reality beyond my wildest dreams. I can't thank Deana enough for her impeccable taste, style, professionalism and mostly -- the end result she achieved for my home.

Thank you so much. We really appreciate your feedback. Looking forward to wrapping up our second project with you and your beautiful family.

Deana and her team renovated several of the rooms in my home over several years. She has an impeccable eye for design and executes with communication and expectation on a budget that makes sense. She managed the various teams under her and worked with us the whole way. I can't recommend her and her services (and people!) enough. You're in great hands with her, and she'll make you feel like you're her close friend the whole way.

Thanks John! It has been great working with you throughout the years.

Choosing a designer is very much hit and miss, they must compliment your style, understand your vision and portray your soul through your project and all within the budget that you provide; Over the past 17 years of working with designers on projects of all shapes and sizes I have never met someone more on point with every aspect of professionalism who captures every ounce of your vision than Deana, so much in fact that we have chosen her to be our companies in house designer for all of our major resorts, hotel and casino projects.

Thank you so much! Our team is very excited about all of your upcoming projects. Can't wait to continue the journey with you.

Our company has been working with Duffek Design now for over a year and have always been blown away with their professionalism and management style. Not only do they provide stunning creative solutions but also have the ability to take a concept from our team and deliver exceeding our expectations. Talented, detailed, creative and budget conscious! Thank you Duffek team for always delivering the highest quality design on all of our projects.

Thank you Daniel. We are excited to work with you again.

Andrea Hett

Relationship

Client

Deana and her team really helped us to identify what exactly we wanted to do with our house. We did not have a clear direction from the onset of our project. Deana and her design team put together clear drawings, renderings and overall design plans, making it a simplified process for us and allowed efficient execution of every detail. The attention to detail was on point and we couldn't be more happy with the end result.

March 27, 2020

Comment from Duffek Design & Development:

Thank you for the kind words Andrea. Our pleasure to work with you. Looking forward to our next project!

I just can't say enough about Deana's MAGIC! I have worked with her on two of my homes in Laguna Beach. With her vision and undeniable ability to see the "big picture," Deana has saved me thousands over the years that we have been working together. But even more important to me, it almost seems like she knows be better than myself, and because of this she saves me so much time on our big projects, and has had me in both of my homes ahead of schedule. Her attention to detail is other worldly. Her eye for design is impeccable, and she is just an all around amazing human. I can't thank her enough.

Thank you so much. You are also a magic man, it is so wonderful to have you in our personal and professional endeavors. Manifest miracles!

Working with Deana was great! It took us a minute to find our groove in the beginning but once we did, it flowed! She has a great eye and helped us envision and create our dream home. She helped navigate circumstances and was always willing to talk through any and all concerns. We could not be happier with the way our home turned out thanks to Deana’s amazing expertise!

Thank you so much Emily. We loved your project and enjoyed working with you and your adorable family.
