“Jacquie is an exceptional designer with a fantastic eye!! She is able to help with a small design project (such as giving a room a "facelift") or she can manage a large construction project from start to finish. Jacquie is great at understanding a person or company's own style, rather than imposing her own style upon them. I have worked with Jacquie on multiple corporate projects as well as personal projects, and have referred her to multiple friends and relatives. I can't say enough great things about Jacquie's work, plus she's a great lady to boot!! Highly recommended!!”

“George is amazing to work with! He is innovative and always pushing to achieve the highest level of design. Anytime we work with him, I know that the architectural design and construction of the home will be exemplary.”

“We have worked with Judi on two separate projects. She originally transformed our Chicago home from traditional to fresh, representative of our taste for contemporary without seeming trendy. After enjoying living in the space she created for us for a few years we tapped her to help us design, build and furnish a new home on the beach in Long Beach, IN Judi is so talented, her attention to every detail seems effortless, yet in fact her details are what makes every space feel unique. Judi met weekly with the architect, builder, contractors, and everyone on our 2-year project to insure that our vision was being executed as planned. She brought solutions to every challenge, and many options for finishes and furnishings. In addition her vibrant personality is a pleasure to be around.”

“After researching all options, we decided to hire deSoto design studio to handle all aspects of preparing and getting our beloved house on Lake Geneva sold. With much sadness, we had to "move on". Gabriela was superb, beyond words, hands down. From start to finish, from documenting contents of the house, organizing an estate sale, packing, moving, communicating clearly and timely with everyone involved, (including family members), renovating the house, staging it, marketing...to the final sale and good bye. She was incredibly helpful with all aspects, from budgeting, legal issues, design, logistic, even emotional support, which was much needed on top of everything else...We were not able to find, ever, anyone who could handle, and handle well, the scope of work that this project required. A design firm? No. This is far and beyond a design, this is (a design focused) Project Management with a cherry on top. Our heartfelt big THANK YOU. John L and family.”
