Custom Home Builders in Phoenix

“Gabi is excellent at formulating and coordinating all elements of design, both interior and exterior, and she has great experience with high-end materials. She designed our new house from the floor plan stage to furnishing each individual room, and within the realm of design, she definitely has the "gift". She probed to understand our priorities and matched the design to what we envisioned. Our rooms have a smooth and comfortable feeling that is hard to describe (some call it chi), but it is something you definitely feel when a room has it. We have gone on dozens of shopping trips with her, and always, she questions us about priorities, and then knows exactly where to find our style of items. She coordinated 20 different paint colors in one house, and the rooms flow seamlessly from one to another. She has designed other property for us with the same results every time. Her style is to find out our needs, lead us to it, adjust some variables, and then, install and carry to completion. She is exceptional at formulating a motif, drawing plans and specs, and helping us “see” it before money is spent. We went against her recommendation twice, and had to re-do both of those items; and subsequently, her original choices fit perfectly. In short, Gabi is an expert in interior design; she has the formal education, breath of knowledge and years of experience required to perform exceptionally.”

“Jaque Bethke of Pure Design took my home from the '90s up to 2012 with results far beyond my dreams. Her vision and imagination is amazing and I found their extensive knowledge of construction very helpful in having the project run smoothly.”

“Mandana worked with us closely for a year or so while she was employed at David Naylor Interiors in Santa Fe from 2015 through to 2016. We were building a house and Mandana was involved from the early blueprint stages through to completion. We were impressed with Mandana’s design and décor aesthetic as well as her vision, knowledge, integrity and professionalism. We can honestly say that our house benefitted hugely from her input. She helped turn our visions into reality and our house into a home. As well as furniture suggestions, color and material choices, Mandana also helped custom design two detailed and elaborate shelving systems. Friendly and hard working, she was always a pleasure to deal with.”

“Working with Mary Jane Hillmer (MJ) is a design adventure, as MJ has the most unique ability to "let you find your way" when you have convinced yourself (and are trying to convince MJ) that you are firm in your "vision." MJ begins your adventure by relating to you on a personal level and encouraging you to share the "tidbits" of your life that have shaped the way you view and enjoy your world. Embracing diverse styles and taking inspiration from everything and everywhere, MJ carries her design expertise professionally and presents it gently--guiding you through a myriad of suggestions that often evoke a mood or memory that delights, inspires, and even comforts you. Particularly important is MJ's supplier expertise in monitoring the ordering, shipping, and receipt of item(s), personally inspecting each order and assisting her client in necessary returns or replacements. The highest recommendation I can give for MJ is that she keeps me involved in every phase of any given project, so that there are no surprises or "rude awakenings" upon completion--only the pure joy and satisfaction of a beautiful collaboration.”

“Earth & Images was wonderful to work with. Isabel has such a keen eye for detail and her taste is ever evolving!”
