I create beautiful spaces that reflect who you are. It's your dream and my job to make that dream a reality. I spend a lot of time with my clients to really get to know them before the design process begins. Through careful listening, I learn their likes and dislikes, their dreams and desires, and how they want their space to look. Then I continue to work closely with my clients, making them an interactive part of the process while guiding them to ensure that we remain on task, on budget, and on time.
My mission is to give my clients the home of their dreams.
My focus is to provide you with the most suitable products for your home. A solid understanding of materials helps to make informed decisions when choosing product for a specific project. It is important to us for your home to be sustainable as well as the design and layout that you are looking for.
Years of education and experience gives me a comprehensive knowledge of space planning, layout, scale, material and fabric, and how each pertains to design and construction. Practical experience enables me to give my clients the knowledge and expertise that one looks for and deserves in a design professional.

Ms. Hyams, and her company (Better by Design) is nothing less than amazing. Ronda at the start took the time to really get to know me and my desire for our renovation. She took pride and she devoted the time needed to perfect the design. Her dedication did not stop there. She managed every phase of the project as though it were her own home. We had many unique design element encompassing the moving of plumbing lines, electrical hookups and introducing gas into the kitchen. Lighting changes to include the addition of 14 recessed lights, under cabinet lighting and LED strip lights in our upper glass cabinets. Our kitchen transformation also had us removing a load bearing wall and installing a carrier beam to support the ceiling. During this process we added a tongue and groove ceiling in the kitchen, which Ms. Hyams took in stride and had it installed without affecting the time line of the project. Ms. Hyams takes design work seriously with a level of dedication to detail unmatched by others, all of this and her highly skilled team at a very fair competitive price.

I personally recommend Better By Design, LLC. Ronda understood our vision and came up with a plan for built in bookcases around our fireplace. Her drawings were creative and spot on. Quality was exceptional and priced fairly for the work and detail. From start to finish Ronda was professional, reliable and took pride in her work. Due to our positive experience, we are moving forward with a bathroom and kitchen remodel. I can confidently recommend Better By Design! You won't be disappointed!

Ronda was patient and flexible working with us as our family remodeled a kitchen and bathroom, while dealing with medical emergencies and snow days.
She has a very creative eye and had fantastic suggestions for color and design across the board. We had a great experience.

STOP! Before you plan your next home project, contact Ronda Hyams, at “Better by Design.” We have learned on multiply occasions that Ronda can solve any of our family’s remodeling and decorating challenges.
Our first experience with Ronda was after interviewing three other interior decorators with credentials. We asked her to look at our home, in general, and offer suggestions to improve the flow, decorations, windows, etc.
When Ronda walked into the eating area of our kitchen, which, at the time, had an oversized dinning set we had purchased with our last house in mind. She suggested extending our small island with cabinets, quiet close drawers and creative niches; some custom sized for our appliances and other kitchen items. She brought us different design ideas, which she created, to choose from. Other than that, we didn’t have to do anything except select between options she provided for cabinets, countertop, lights, etc. With each selection Ronda educated us and it helped us to choose wisely for our needs.
Not only did Ronda come up with a genius design she managed the project. She worked well with Steve Thompson from “Thompson Remodeling LLC” to ensure the job was completed on time, within our agreed budget, and with quality; actually it 'all' was – “Better by Design!”

We hired Ronda to design an entertainment unit and desk area for our family room. We absolutely love the way it turned and Ronda was a pleasure to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to use Ronda for future remodeling projects.

Better By Design provided design services for our kitchen renovation. Ronda was a pleasure to work with! She listened to our wants and needs. She expertly managed some differing ideas between husband and wife and delivered a kitchen design that we are both thoroughly enjoying. She was patient, detail oriented, and not the least bit pushy. She was a great help in navigating which design aspects of the project to focus on and when, ensuring that work moved forward without delays. We highly recommend!

Ronda was great to work with! She held my hand through the entire process of my kitchen renovation, which was a new experience for me. She is an incredibly reliable source, presumably because of all of her experience - from the quoted budget and timeframe for the renovation, everything went pretty much according to the initial plan. She has wonderful contacts and taste. I love how my kitchen turned out - better than I had initially envisioned!

Ronda is a wonderful and meticulous designer! Our complete kitchen renovation turned out perfectly because of her. We met several times over the course of planning and she listened to every question we had and always had the answers. This was a very large project for us and we honestly didn't know where to start. Ronda figuratively and literally held our hands throughout the entire process and she made our choices and decisions very simple and easy.
Better By Design will always be at the top of our list.

Ronda was an absolute pleasure to work with putting together my small laundry room. She gave great suggestions on the style and types of cabinets we needed and color suggestions for the counter-tops. Ordering and scheduling everything with Ronda was a breeze, and I would make sure any other rooms in my house that need be designed, would definitely go through her once again.

Ronda helped design our new kitchen and great room and provided samples of cabinetry and hardware. She went with us to choose the granite and wall tile. She also helped us to select the tile pattern and created the backsplash design behind the range top. Ronda is a pleasure to work with and knows her line of work very well. She advised us regarding our decision on colors for the hardwood flooring and paint. She accompanied us to stores and helped us choose the style, color and fabric for the dining table and chairs, bar stools, sectional and area rug. Ronda also suggested the fabric and design of the drapery for the patio door and large window in our great room. The kitchen and great room came together very nicely and we are extremely pleased. All the colors blend so well and complement each other with the granite, tile and furniture. We're just in awe whenever we step into the room. We would highly recommend Ronda!
