Designer Profile

You are looking for the right professional partner to start your interior design project. Why would you chose me over someone else? This is what I have to offer:
1. I want to get rid of all your fears you have right now just thinking about the interior project. Use my experience, knowledge and resources.
2. I want you to be excited and looking forward to each phase of your project. Detailed planning for remodel or new construction is the best foundation for great outcome.
3. I want to bring to you my creativity paired with my organized work process.

“Before working with Magdalena, we were trying to tie concepts together throughout the house. We knew what we wanted and what finishes we wanted to use, but we didn’t know how to tie it all together. We needed to find someone to help us. Magdalena was able to see the bigger picture and help the materials come together throughout the house." Jeffrey H. - Los Altos, CA
