Fatmata Sesay

Working with Charisse Holder at TRANSFORMATIONS was a fantastic experience! As a busy professional, I needed someone I could trust to take the lead—and Charisse delivered above and beyond. She worked within my budget, brought thoughtful design ideas to the table, and executed everything with speed, diligence, and care. Charisse is incredibly proactive and trustworthy. She moved fast without compromising quality and made the entire process seamless for me. I was able to confidently entrust her with every detail, knowing she had my best interest at heart. If you’re looking for a reliable, talented, and responsive designer who respects your time and budget—Charisse is the one!

Hi Fatmata, I so appreciate this wonderful review. It was my pleasure to assist you with this project. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to work on this unique assignment and I enjoyed every minute. I pray nothing but great success for you and all
your endeavors!

Jo Ann Webb

Working with Charisse Holder of TRANSFORMATIONS was an absolute joy from beginning to end. She completely reimagined my living room and dining room, turning them into warm, stylish, and functional spaces that truly reflect my personality. My "Design-in-a-Day" experience was nothing short of remarkable. I’ll admit I was a bit nervous—this was my first time working with a professional interior designer—but Charisse immediately put me at ease. She listened closely to my ideas, respected my budget, and made me feel confident every step of the way. From the moment she began, I knew I was in expert hands. The process was smooth, collaborative, and inspiring. When the transformation was complete, it felt like she had read my mind—perfectly capturing not just how I wanted the space to look, but how I also wanted it to feel. Now, every time I walk into those rooms, I’m filled with peace and pride. I wholeheartedly recommend TRANSFORMATIONS to anyone seeking a talented, intuitive, and professional designer. I would work with Charisse again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much Jo Ann for this glowing review! I had a wonderful time working with you. You certainly have a wonderful 'designer eye' of your own, so coming from you, this means so much. Enjoy every moment of your beautiful sanctuary.

Brittny

Working with Charisse was absolutely amazing. She far exceeded my expectations. She made suggestions for our home that I hadn't thought of at all and also tried to help me see how I could repurpose some of the items I have. I look forward to continuing to work with her to beautify our home.

Hi Brittny, Thank you for your great review. It was a true pleasure working with you. You've done a beautiful job on your home thus far and I'm looking forward to the implementation of the consultation plan. It's going to be BEAUTIFUL!

Matthew (Maryland Hospital Association) Pace

Charisse and her team at Transformations was wonderful from the beginning to end. We were looking for someone who could jazz up our office space within a very short period of time and limited budget. Charisse worked quickly to provide a design path and implementation plan, which resulted in a remarkable difference for our space. Our boardroom, for example, is stunning. I highly recommend Transformations!

I am wowed by the work of Transformations! I was a bit concerned that the refresh would be difficult to get used to, but I am pleased to report that my home still feels very much like me, my personality and my style. The finishing touches are more than I could’ve imagined when I started the project. The attention to detail, wow. Worth mentioning, Charisse did a great job honoring my budget But still managing to get Extra special items I hadn’t thought of.,. In a word, the new look is amazing. I love the colors, the fabrics, the textures.. I couldn’t be more pleased! My family and friends are totally impressed with the work too!! Great job , I highly recommend Transformations!

Charisse is amazing. Since I met her when she came and did a consultation, her presence, professionalism and down to earth personality was very captivating. In addition, she is flexible in being able to provide you with exactly what you are looking for from minimal assistance to full service hands on interior decorating. She helped me find furniture and other items for many spaces in my home and everything always worked out so perfectly. She was always willing to give me advice on things I found myself as well. She also helped guide me on the best placements for the items. I hope to keep working with her in the future to furnish and decorate the remainder of my home, which includes painting with the paint colors she helped me select. ** The pictures posted are amazing finds from her and I can't wait to have her work with me some more to refine all of my spaces.**

Charisse was awesome! She provided great design suggestions for my new home office. Additionally, she listened to my concerns and kept my budget in mind — she made shopping fun too. Thanks to her help, I feel creative (again) and inspired in my new office space! Highly recommend her decorating firm.

Thank you so much for your review. I enjoyed working on this project with you. Enjoy!

Karina

It was truly a pleasure and and honor to have Charisse work with us in the beatification of our home. She paid special attention to details not only with the beatification process, but she captured our vision and was able to translate it to bring about this beautiful finish. She was very insightful and resourceful in products and services needed to complete this process. She was very warm and friendly, always lending an ear to ideas and helped to create endless possibilities for our newly remodeled home. The only regret I have is that we didn’t meet her at the very beginning developmental stages of the process. Nonetheless, my husband and I truly enjoyed her presence, professionalism, and expertise in the project. Thank you Charisse! Photos to come!!

Thank you Karina. It has been a true joy working with you. I am thrilled with the beautiful results!

Dawn Smith Barnes

It took me a while to realize I was in need of an interior designer. I was so excited to work with Charisse because I thought I could do it all by myself! Ha! I found out how much I didn't know about decorating until she came along. Her attention to detail, planning and execution is wonderful and she is a true professional. She was able to bring my vision to life! Her selection of paint colors, furniture, and overall guidance of how to bring a room together is phenomenal! She is just what the "house" ordered.

Thank you so much Dawn. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a nice review. It has been a pleasure working with you and transforming your beautiful home. You have great style and I love that you are open to going "outside the box" to achieve the perfect look and feel to represent the best of you and your family. Thanks again!

Tina Woods

What can I say, Charisse is born to design. We met at the model home and walked through each room asking about my vision, style, colors and textures. So thorough and detailed I was impressed. The plan she wrote was spot on to my vision, I decided to hire her AGAIN to help me shop and make furniture decisions. I know my home will be beautiful. I must be happy because I rarely write reviews lol

Monica Fortune

Transformations truly lives up to its name! We were long over due to update our home because we were considering selling. After deciding to stay for a few more years we knew we needed to make some changes. I was referred to Transformations by a friend. I had no idea how much I needed Charisse! I was an aimless binge shopper! She taught me so much about making sense of how to decorate not to mention she help to save me a lot of money. I’m so grateful for the knowledge gained, we absolutely LOVE the transformation of our home! Thanks so much Charisse!
