We hired Destini after paying another designer for 4 years. Before Destini came, almost every room in the house was 90% finished but not complete and we hadn’t heard from the designer since the last payment months earlier so we moved on. I was desperate to finish my house decorations before the arrival of our first child and was no longer able to try to catch up on some of these projects in later pregnancy. Enter hero. I found Destini on Thumbtack and she was able to confirm a timeframe (and execute according to the plan!) BEFORE baby arrived, even though he came early. I have to say I was extremely impressed with the design team. We were presented with concrete images and visions of the design, pricing and able to easily give feedback on what we liked or didn’t without having any issues. Not only that, the final product was amazing! I could only nest so much without the talent she has as a decorator. Destini and her team finished 5 rooms for us in a few months! I also never had any suspicions that items brought over were used or second hand - we knew sourcing and pricing in advance and were able to approved items before receiving them. It was a big trust builder for us after our last experience. Dealing with Destini was a dream because of these reasons as well as her general politeness and likability. I am so happy now when I walk into each of the rooms that Destini finished rather than stressed out or anxious thinking about needing to fix something I don’t really have the tools for. It sounds silly but it has made a new mom extremely happy to not worry that the formerly unfinished projects - aka my house and how it looks inside - no longer have to just wait for “when we have time.” With a newborn, there is no time!

Shannon!!! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and warm review! You had me smiling almost to tears! It makes me so happy when my clients are not only pleased with our work but also with who we are. It has been such a pleasure working with you and Dana! All of my clients have been cool and you two were no exception! I'm so happy we were able to create and make the timeline before the baby made his arrival! So happy for you two!!!! Thanks SO much for choosing us!!!

I live abroad and I have a property in Washington DC that I wanted to transform into a furnished student rental. I wanted a decor that would appeal to both male and female students, maximized available space while still feeling roomy. Given the intended function, I desired affordable but durable furniture. I also required a professional who was responsive while also being flexible and understanding of my peculiar situation (being abroad with time differences). Destini understood the assignment, she was exceptional, she made the whole process easy and surprisingly fun. I was pleased with the final results and so are my new student tenants - they say that it makes them feel like they are at home. I am moving back to the US next month and Destini will definitely be responsible for the interior design of my new home.

Thank you so much Adepero! Being entrusted with a client's home and investment is something I take very seriously. And when that client is trusting me from afar, I am truly honored. I really liked working on your project. It was unique indeed, but my skills were sharpened. I too felt good when one of the students told me he felt at home in the space we created for them. Good job! I look forward to working with you on more design projects. Best wishes for your new transition!

Destini is an amazing interior designer and has helped me put these pieces together! She's very patient, knows your style and has good eyes when trying to pick pieces out that I would think doesn't look right. :) I truly enjoyed my experience, I attached photos for my after style as pieces are still coming in but I wanted to give you an idea of her work. She's always accessible via text, email or call! She is very punctual meaning once your calendar time slot is booked, she's 100% on time. In addition, when I had a million questions, she has an answer! 5 star review and I look forward to continue working with her. I've worked with a ton of designers and she was the only one that can work with my inexpensive budget but make my home feel like a staging property! <3

Tasian! Reading this makes me want to cry. As a new designer, I'm still learning a lot, so when I say I appreciate EVERY opportunity given to me to help someone create lovely living spaces, I sincerely mean it. And when my clients express their gratitude for the work I've done for them, it makes my heart smile and motivates me to continue getting better. You are so down to earth and cool, but have a certain type of swag that I wanted to help capture in your home. Clients like you make my job easy and fun! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! 😊
