I worked with Yvonne in 2018 to design and build an addition to a 100 year old home in Ann Arbor. We nearly doubled the existing living space and her design ideas were excellent. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable about city codes and an overall pleasure to work with.

Yvonne designed the most beautiful screened-in back porch for us around 5 years ago. She listened patiently to our desires, and spent many hours working out every detail. The builders appreciated how thorough her design was, and we were thrilled with the results. We continue to enjoy our porch 7 to 8 months out of the year. Yvonne was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Yvonne!

We've worked with Yvonne on several projects, including a screened porch addition and two ensuite bathrooms and she is always a joy to work with.
Her unique approach to the design process helped us determine priorities and the execution of the plan down to small but important details. We appreciate her professionalism, skill and design esthetic. She's terrific!
