My wife and I have used Donna Livingston Design on multiple occasions, and the style, craftsmanship of materials, and expert advice has been stellar. Donna's attentiveness to detail is top notch. We are so pleased with our end result, and enjoy receiving compliments regularly from those who we entertain. Thank you!

I've had the pleasure of working along side Donna off and on for almost 25 years now. She taught me everything I know about design and as someone who was new to the industry....I have been forever grateful to absorb her knowledge. I've always been impressed with her vast experience in the industry but even more impressive is her ability to have her finger on the pulse of what's NEW in design. She knows how to really listen to her clients as well as educate and guide them through their design experience. She is professional, innovative, knowledgable and inspiring......a true gem.

I have had the honor and privilege to work with Donna for over [20] years. My business acumen relies on strategic partners and alliances who deliver the highest professional standards while achieving the most exquisite results. Donna and her team without reservation are one of the most polished design groups that I introduce my clients. Donna understands one’s vision and objectives with deep insight from layout to finish with laser precision. Donna is exact with her records and accounting while working direct with the architects and contractors. Talent, integrity and professionalism, large or small scale, I highly recommend Donna Livingston, who has the most exquisite taste. When I sold her personal residence in Trousdale, I achieved the highest price-per-square foot of any house sold in the area at the time.

Donna was the first interior designer to hire me when I was just starting out and for this I am forever grateful. She genuinely cares about and respects the contractors she hires to help achieve her visions and her warm personality is an added bonus. Her drive to achieve perfection while creating timeless, unique interiors is inspiring.

I have been so very fortunate to work with Donna Livingston all these years. From the early days when I started in our industry, Donna has been great inspiration, a great teacher and a mentor. Her knowledge of every aspect of the complex process that is interior design and architecture is simply remarkable. A true perfectionist, Donna never stops herself from paying attention to each and every detail. Donna is a passionate lady, constantly researching and adding to her vast, timeless, elegant portfolio. Also a discerning eye, Donna works with exquisite textures, finishes, textiles. Her interiors are sublime, yet very inviting and always comfortable. Donna has the extraordinary capability of making you walk around a penthouse housing the most magnificent art work, or have dinner under an Italian 18th Century three tier gold leaf and crystal chandelier with exquisite Limoges settings yet, it is always a relaxed, easy, perfect atmosphere. Donna Livingston Design is a leading Architecture and Interior Design Studio in the Southern California area as well as across the U.S. Donna has been an iconic designer on the illustrious list AD 100 Top Designers in the United States and the world. She remains involved with many other industry organizations and continues to contribute to and support them. I am proud of being able to call Donna a colleague, and most important, a dear friend.

I have worked with Donna many times and am often struck by her ability to weave countless details into a single, grand, seamless environment. She regularly treats her clients to open and luxurious, comfortable settings. Best of all, working with Donna is a delight. She has always treated me with tremendous respect. Her elegant style makes for wonderful photographs too.

Any project Donna takes on, you can be certain Architectural Digest will want it to grace their pages. Donna's style & taste are impeccable and she settles for nothing but perfection. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed and she always has fantastic innovative ideas. Any home she touches becomes a work of art, down to the shampoo bottles. When Donna is done transforming your home, you will not know which room you like best, and you will never want to move. It's no wonder she's been featured in countless publications year after year & named Top Designer in Architectural Digest. Donna has a gift of making a home feel luxurious, sophisticated, unique and comfortable while incorporating the clients personality. Not only is Donna thoughtful in her design, but she is thoughtful in life. She is the most loyal, warm, kindhearted, generous spirit with an incredible sense of humor, which makes working with her the best & most fun experience anyone could hope for. She has an ability to connect with all walks of life, and anyone who meets her can't help but love her. This is also evident in how strong all her relationships are with her many vendors, as they will always go that extra mile for her, which additionally serves to maximize Donna's effectiveness with her clients. I feel so honored, proud and privileged to have worked & learned from Donna & her team for 7 years, and can guarantee nothing but a 5 star experience if you work with her.

When I bought a new home in the Hamptons several years ago I was overwhelmed with everything that had to be done. Being a busy Realtor I had little time or patience to do what need to be done to transform the drab house I bought to the showplace that I envisioned. Donna simplified the process and quickly had all elements in place to create a beautiful and comfortable home. From color selection, to picking wall coverings, to installing custom carpets and bespoke furniture, Donna was efficient and insightful and naturally it was all tied together by her inherent sense of style. I would have been lost without her and recommend her to anyone needing a design expert who was also pleasure to work with.

Donna Livingston is nothing less than a design guru. I've had the opportunity to see her work over the course of several years. She consults me regarding home gym equipment. Her attention to detail and complete commitment to her client, along with her vast experience is second to none.

One of the most respected and admired designers in our industry, Donna epitomizes a professional designer. Well versed in all aspects of design—from the complex knowledge required for ground-up construction, selecting the best furnishings, to scouting out that perfect unexpected, finishing touch-- Donna’s talents run deep. Trustworthy, beautiful, smart and kind, I’m honored to work with her as a colleague and to call her a dear and loyal friend. --Mark Boone

Donna Livingston has an amazing eye for detail, only the best quality items are selected and customized for your space. She is most excellent in building from the ground up but she can also turn any ordinary space into a wonderful place to live, relax and visit.

Emanuel Morez and Donna Livingston have a 20+ year history of crafting beautiful furniture together. It is always inspiring to work with Donna. Every piece we have done together has come out beautifully and is a testament to how good she is as a designer. -Amos
