ASR DESIGN STUDIO

We have loved our experience of having Ariel and the ASR Design team in our corner while we tackle a kitchen/living room remodel. Ariel has been so responsive, helpful, energetic, and positive throughout this experience. I have really appreciated that though she is the pro and is much better at design than us, she really wanted to capture what *we* wanted our home to feel like. She has never been pushy about what we should do, yet she also offers advice and recommendations when we need them. Such a great balance! She has gone above and beyond what we expected her to do, and the only regret we have about hiring Ariel & ASR Design is that we didn't do it sooner! I can't wait to be able to show off our new place once it's done thanks to Ariel and her team.

A Total Design Disaster! I recently enlisted ASR for interior design services, and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. When it came to the actual design, I had high expectations based on the designer's portfolio. However, the final result fell short of my vision. The selections didn't resonate with the aesthetic I had in mind even after multiple discussions on preferences and merchants to avoid, and the overall layout lacked cohesion. It seemed like my project was not a priority. Additionally, there were issues with attention to detail. Some elements were overlooked, and the final presentation felt rushed and incomplete. I expected a polished and well-thought-out design, but it seemed as if corners were cut. I had hoped for a more collaborative and attentive approach. It's like they were blindfolded while putting things together, it’s like they didn't even try. Save yourself the headache and money – avoid ASR. I wasted money, time and effort. I can’t believe someone feels that this payment was rightfully earned. As the saying goes one ill turn deserves another. Awful design service – 0/10, would never recommend! I was a client and have proof. Please don't hire them.

Our experience with ASR Design Studio was and still is great. Ariel listened to our vision, took time to get to know us and guided us as we created beautiful spaces throughout the house together. Ariel and the ASR team were demonstrably committed to us having a great experience and most importantly, being happy with the result. We are thrilled with the result.

Interior design is one of those things you NEED, but don't know it. Ariel has changed my life forever with design. Not decorating, DESIGN! It takes a master of the art to really make a space come alive. I'll admit, it's not cheap. But someone once told me, "if it's something you use every day, get the best you can afford." What matters more than the home you live in? Reach out to ASR and learn what it means to truly fall in love with your space.

Ariel and her team did an amazing job! From the wonderful communication, taking the time to listen to our ideas and plans, providing awesome 3D looks at what our perfect living area could be - can't recommend them enough!

Trying to decide on the best paint colors for our home's exterior had me going in circles until I hired Ariel Richardson at ASR Design Studio. Ariel rescued me from weeks of indecision and frustration. In one session, she and her associate Sam came up with some great suggestions and we now have a beautiful color palette that enhances the architecture of our home. Working with Ariel was a pleasure and I am very happy that I called upon a professional for help. I highly recommend ASR Design Studio.

Ariel is the consummate professional! What I love about her design services is how organized and helpful she is. Ariel provided me with concise renderings and offered helpful information like links to vendor websites for hardware and furniture. I truly enjoyed working with her. Ariel was the first designer we have worked with and we will certainly be utilizing her services in the future!!

Ariel was so helpful in giving my husband and I advice on how to decorate our new home. She was very in tune with what I wanted (vibe I was going for), but also gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of myself. Definitely recommend ASR!

Ariel is friendly, approachable, and down to earth. She stayed within my timeframe and budget and did SUCH an awesome job in my home. I highly recommend her to anyone that's looking for an awesome designer in the San Diego area!!

Wow Ariel, or Ari, made me eat my words. My wife pushed us to hire this studio and I had a lot of reservations regarding if we even needed this type of services or what sort of difference would their services provide. Well, a few days later and our home has been transformed. She knew how to go to each room and provided valuable information and guidance from simply rearranging rooms to a complete renovation. She was able to understand our concerns with how we want our home to be comfortable for our two kids and two dogs, while also staying within our budget. My wife could probably write up a better review out there on the specifics but if there are any hesitant husbands(or people who don't understand the value of interior design) start with this studio first.
