“I met Dominic five years ago when I needed design help with a new build. He helped me select furniture, lighting, rugs and decorations. Since then, we have continued our relationship working on numerous projects in my home. Dominic has helped shape my vision, enhancing it through his expertise and exquisite taste. He is so very talented and a wonderful person to be around who makes the entire process both enjoyable and easy. We collaborated and designed the home of my dreams. Now, Dominic is a treasured friend that I know I can always rely on to help with my future design and architectural needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“Recently, I hired Dominic to design and furnish my basement. He took a large, uninspired, and empty area and reimagined it into this space. It's beautiful, modern, and clean–yet everything is still very comfortable and functional. He was able to create a unique use for each area of this massive room. While there were no defined spaces previously, Dominic used lighting, paint, furniture and his own aesthetic talents to transform the room –and the end result is a work of art. We were so pleased with our basement project that we also commissioned Dominic to redesign our entire main level. It was huge project and as typical clients, we were constantly changing our minds and second-guessing decisions. Dominic's patience and guidance throughout the process was remarkable. True genius in life is rare, but no other description more accurately describes Dominic’s design talents and professionalism.”

“Dominic transformed both the interior and exterior of my home. I must say he has an incredible sense of design–combining the technical, logistical, and architectural skills that it takes to create a true work of art in living spaces. He did a fantastic job of designing my home exactly to my vision, while also maneuvering quickly around any issue that arose or any construction limitation throughout the entire process. Dominic’s creativity and design ideas resulted in beautiful living spaces that are a true reflection of my vision. I could not be happier with the outcome!”

“Hiring Dominic was the best decision we could have made when starting our whole-home renovation. He is incredibly talented, and his attention to detail and work ethic are his greatest strengths. He surpassed our expectations! Dominic assisted us with creating the cohesive flow and feel we were looking for, and was able to completely change the look of our home of 18 years. He focused on every detail with us, including assistance with furniture/fabric selection, lighting selection/placement, paint colors - even inspecting the furniture, rugs & lights upon delivery. Now, each morning we wake up to our gorgeous, bright, renovated home (straight out of a magazine) and cannot stop smiling. This is ours to enjoy every day! We will certainly be using Dominic again. "
