Slick Designs

We were way overdue for some design updates and finally chose to enlist the help of an expert. After meeting a few we chose Slick Designs and it turned out to be a great decision. Dessie was very easy to work with. She prioritized our wants and needs, made our choices simple, helped track down materials and lined us up with a contractor where needed. Our updates included a kitchen refresh, a mantle rebuild, new window treatments and new flooring and paint throughout most of the main level. Within weeks our dated decor had become our happy place. Choosing Slick Designs was a great move.

We're working with Dessie on a kitchen remodel and are very happy. She's timely and knowledgeable. Dessie offers her suggestions while listening to our ideas. I'm confident with her help we'll get our dream kitchen.

We highly recommend Slick Designs!! We wouldn't have this great new business space to enjoy--and certainly not in the crazy-fast timeframe that was required--without the expertise of Slick Designs. We own a game and book store and recently relocated from 1100 sq ft space to a 2500 sq ft space. We were on a tight time deadline to be able to move from one to the other without down time. Slick Designs came through for us! BIG ThAnKs to Dessie Sliekers for all her efforts to generate design ideas and layout, to help with materials, fixtures, finishes, and to keep all the trains running on time!! We are grateful for all her hard work to conceptualize and create a wonderful store design and to see the project through from start to finish—on time even with the narrow time constraints!!

Dessie has a great eye for design and material selection. We were very pleased with her work. I highly recommend her services!

We really enjoy working with Dessie on projects. She’s extremely professional, intelligent and detail-oriented. We highly recommend choosing her for your design needs!

I have been working with Slick Designs for several years on my client projects. Dessie is prompt, conscientious, extremely likeable and trustworthy. Dessie does project management too. I highly recommend her on any project and I look forward to working with her for years to come.

Dessie was exceptional, she exceeded my expectations! We bought a home that needed an update on painting and flooring. We hired Dessie to find a painter and flooring experts that we could trust to come into our empty house prior to closing. We trusted her completely with giving her the key to our house and making sure the job was getting done. Prior to the start of the work, I met with Dessie in the empty house to go over paint colors and flooring. She has an excellent eye for making the colors flow throughout the whole house. She listened to my ideas and helped me make decisions rather quickly. We have been in the house for almost 2 months now and completely love it! Now it is time for her to come back and help me fill my walls. I know hiring her we saved a lot of money because we will be happy for years to come instead of changing wall colors every year which I have done in the past.

I worked with Dessie on a $2M + home in the Glen Oaks subdivision of West Des Moines. Dessie provided us with many creative solutions. Dessie was attentive to detail and sensitive to the complexities of a large scale project. I would not hesitate to recommend Dessie for further projects!

She was creative, fun, easy to work with, and responsive. I asked her to help me find solutions to living in a small, older home with kids. I highly recommend her!

We met with Dessie over a couple meetings and short "what we like" explanations by showing her images we found. She was able to combine all that and produce something I would have never pictured. She worked with our project manager, assisted with sub contractors, and spent time shopping for items to complete our home. Dessie was extremely knowledgable and gave us great combinations on paint color that fit our tastes. Dessie assisted us with kitchen cabinets/countertops/backsplash, lighting, plumbing fixtures, flooring, furniture and decor. Our project cost was around $70,000.

i have worked with Dessie on a number of design collaborations. She is talented, creative and a breath of fresh air in the design community. She likes to be cutting edge when it comes to her designs. She has so many inspirational qualities. Dessie is a true class act.

I worked with Dessie on multiple new construction homes for my clients. Her vast knowledge of color and design, on top of her excellent customer service skills proved extremely helpful to guide my clients through their decisions. Dessie has a great understanding on new trends and how they may effect future resale. I highly recommend Dessie!
