We hired Hatano Studios to design and remodel our newly purchased 1980s home that required MAJOR updating. Yumi did a wonderful job assessing and incorporating our style to design a modern, beautiful house. We were impressed every step of the way: she's meticulous with the details, has impeccable taste, and knows the industry and has great contacts. We also appreciate that Yumi was very conscientious about our budget and costs.
We also cannot say enough good things about her construction crew (led by Radu)! They were incredibly responsive and professional. Radu was always one call away. When our movers weren’t able to get up the hill to our house and our lease was coming due he didn’t hesitate to offer his crews help to get us moved in (luckily not necessary!).
It was a long 7-month job but overall the design and construction process went smoothly (the delivery was delayed by one month due to unforeseen structural issues and several last minute changes we made), and Yumi handled all the project management and constantly kept us informed about the contractors’ work schedules. We moved in last month and are very happy with the final result! We highly recommend Yumi and her team.

So, where should I start to talk about Yumi?
Me and my team has known Yumi and her husband Dan for many years professionally and as friends. We did many professional projects together. She does more then interior designing. Yumi has a few amazing skills under her sleeves, planning, drawing, organizing, scheduling, always on time, pushing you to keep going, always happy with a smile on your face.
If you want a professional, a loving person in what she does, a respected and respectful, a full of surprises design ideas, Yumi is the right person to contact.

It was phenomenal working with Yumi on our Master Bathroom remodel project. Yumi, has been a delight to work with. She listened to our queries, answered promptly and finally delivered on such a great design that we are all very proud of and love, which is what matters. We love our new bathroom. Yumi also helped us with other stairs and other small nip & tuck advises across our place. This was the first house we bought and we could not have done it without Yumi. I would also give Kudos to Radu and his team to actually delivering on the designing. Very skilled, professional and humble. They all obsess about the tiniest of details and work very hard to get them right. No corners cut.

Yumi was amazing. She was both warm and professional, responding to emails promptly with great follow through. She designed our kitchen so wonderfully. We can't believe how well it turned out. About to hire her for a bathroom remodel. She's our gal! Highly recommend her.

Yumi and her team were wonderful to work with throughout our complete master bath remodel. Yumi transformed our bathroom into the perfect oasis keeping it simple, sleek and tasteful; she knew what I wanted before I did. From design choices to materials to construction; the process was seamless, flawless and timely. Additionally, Yumi was right on target when she quoted me a price during our first meeting. Yumi knows her craft and demands nothing less than perfection from herself and her team. I would highly recommend Yumi for any project and definitely plan to employ her for the kids bath next.

Yumi helped us transform a mid century fixer upper. As part of the project, we expanded the master bath, created a walk-in master closet, redid a secondary bath, and overhauled the laundry room as well as replacing windows, doors, flooring, trim and paint throughout. Her talent for space design helped us add a ton of storage, making our smallish house more livable. She assisted with material selection and had a network of reliable vendors who she works with, which was very helpful since we had moved from out of state. Yumi's attention to detail insured that our design choices hung together and the finish of the end product was top notch.

We have worked with Yumi at Hatano Studio on a 6 month project on our house. This was a living room, kitchen, outside area remodel with some more extensive flooring and window work throughout the house. Overall we were very happy with the project and I don't think we could have chosen a better partner for this type of work.
Yumi has spent a lot of time understanding and refining our vision (at the onset, it was not clear 100% to us where we needed to be), and then worked closely with the general contractor and the rest of the team to ensure the dates were met, deliveries happened on time, information was accurate and timely, and so on. In other words, from design throughout the nitty-gritty of execution Yumi was there bringing a lot of insight, experience and skill to the job. Well done!

Yumi was wonderful to work with. She listened to our preferences and gave us our dream house. She was always very responsive and kept our remodel on schedule. She is detail oriented, which I appreciated. She also let us know when our expectations weren’t realistic so that there were no surprises.

Yumi is a joy to work with. She absolutely loves what she does and isn't afraid to push her clients outside of their comfort zone. She certainly did with my project, and I'm very thankful!
She listens, is responsive and addressed all my concerns very quickly. Sometimes too quickly, before my comments became real concerns.
Thank you Yumi for holding my hand through my first renovation project. I've lost track of how many friends who have told me how beautiful the space is, especially the ones who've seen the space before the reno. And I'm looking forward to our friendship continuing for many years.

Being a single man, I needed the expertise of Yumi. She knows what would look great for resale down the road and has an eye for upgrades that would hold up for years and still be with the trends. She is very professional to work with and I would highly recommend her for any of your house remodel or new construction needs!

Yumi is able to identify my design style and assist in the completion of projects. I have worked with her on my kitchen, bathrooms, furniture choices and everything in between. She is professional and on the project morning and night. I have referred several friends to her with confidence that their projects will be handled as desired and they were.

We have been working with Yumi on multiple projects with great success. Yumi is a professional designer, she is easy and fun to work with. She is one of the most detail-oriented people we have worked with, this is good especially in the cabinet building industry. We enjoy working with her and is our first recommendation to anyone requiring high-end luxury design. If you are looking for a super modern luxury kitchen design give her a call!
