  • Cassandra managed every aspect of the interior design for our beach house. She was so much fun to work with and really shared our enthusiasm for creating beautiful living spaces. She took the time to understand our tastes and preferences as she put together the plans. It was a huge project that would have been overwhelming to do all by ourselves. We are delighted with the finished product and couldn’t have done it without Cassandra’s expertise and excellent sense of style!

  • Cassandra is wonderful to work with! I was overwhelmed with all the decisions that I had to make in our new build and her help has been such a godsend. We spent hours picking out tile, vanity colors and wall colors and I am so excited to see how amazing everything turns out!
