TESTIMONIALS
Richard Wolpow, Lake Arrowhead New Construction
Relationship: Client
Project Date: September 2012
I have worked with Karen on my lake house project for over a year. She has great ideas and relationships that get the job done and on budget. She will stick to her guns when she believes in something - which is good because I was stubborn at times and not always able to see the big picture. Equally though, she did see and support my vision. I am very excited about the outcome.
Thank you both for a great job!

Karen is a consummate professional and very talented at what she does. Karen has and does work with most of my clients, she also did all the design at 7 Beachcrest in Pelican Hill, Newport Coast and works in California and also out of state for my clients. I highly value the relationship I have with Karen because my clients love her and she makes my job much easier. Karen comes to you with my highest recommendation.

I've worked with Karen over the course of the last seven years on projects in California, Colorado and Massachusetts ranging from new construction to renovations and everything in between. She is a highly talented designer.Her attention to detail is second to none. Her customer service is impeccable, which is a high compliment coming from myself as I hold people to a very high standard. I initially chose to work with Karen after receiving a referral from a trusted friend but have and will continue to use her based upon her superior work product and ease to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone with both discriminating tastes and a high standard.
