Accolades
“Your foundational work is genius!”
Del, Denver, CO.
“Mike is a gifted interior designer who worked within our budget to help create our dream for an Asian-inspired home. He was readily available for advice and consultation, asked questions and patiently listened, worked tirelessly to meet deadlines, addressed concerns and saw us through to the end of an extremely lengthy project. He was instrumental in many aspects of designing our dream home including designing a kitchen with an inviting open feel; creating a laundry room that is functional and aesthetically pleasing; planning a master closet that is spacious, yet practical; designing a bathroom for aging in place; choosing the color scheme throughout the house and spending countless hours in assisting with tile/granite/flooring selection. Most importantly, he worked within the scope of what we wanted. It is without hesitation that we wholeheartedly recommend Mike as an interior designer…he exceeded our expectations!”

"The results of my remodel were beyond all expectations. Mike worked with me from the very beginning. He understood what I was looking to accomplish and understood the budget constraints. His ability to come up with creative solutions to gain space, cut cost and create a ‘Wow” factor was invaluable. Mike has a vast knowledge and sense of design. He was very hands on and worked with me every step of the way to insure I was happy with every aspect of the job. I have and will continue to recommend him for any design job big or small."
