“Jeffrey is the consummate professional: creative, engaging, and brilliant! He not only created a space that we love, but he did so in a way that made us feel listened to and collaborated with! We were new to the interior design process and a bit nervous about it, and Jeffrey created an environment of support while simultaneously challenging us to try new ideas. Because of this collaboration, our home reflects the best of us now. His eye for color and his concept of space led to a home more spectacular than we could have imagined. Thank you, Jeffrey, for giving us the home we always wanted!”
