Ours was a big project. Every room, wall, and almost every stick of furniture is new, and despite that we came to the project with absolutely no experience of remodeling a home. We didnt even have a designer or builder in mind until we met Monica. She immediately grasped what it was we wanted to accomplish even when we werent sure ourselves. She introduced us to our builder Tommy Cole, and she made several proposed designs for us to choose from. She was with us every step of the way, and always had the calm demeanor of someone whos been in the business for many years. We are the kind of people who have no design talent but we know we like it when we see it. Monica is really so much more than just and interior designer, but boy is she good at interior design. One thing we did appreciate about Monica was that she was so good at finding beautiful designer quality at low cost. She showed us that you dont have to go to Thomasville or Ethan Allen to find high quality furniture or accessories. I can say that Monica has become our friend and I couldnt recommend her highly enough.

Monica Ledesma is the best designer, by far, I’ve ever hired. She not only has great style and taste, she’s got an astonishing eye for what a property needs. I’ve flipped a few houses in Southern California and moved to Arizona and knew I needed Monica for a very large home I bought that was in obvious need of a remodel. The things she pointed out (via pictures) on what to do with this overly custom tiled home had me so impressed I knew I needed her to make the trip out here. She designed both baths and the kitchen along with great touches around the whole house. Thank you, Monica!

Monica Ledesma was a great help for us during our home rebuild!She helped us navigate through the process of picking our cabinets, appliances, fixtures and surfaces. She has the knowledge and experience to help us make the right decisions. She communicated with our builder to help us make our decisions in a timely manner and not slow down the project. 5 stars for Monica!!

I love working with Monica and her team. She is a positive, fun and talented designer in all aspects of the design process. From start to finish her excellence is like no other.

I recommend Monica for all your design needs.

Design Studio on 2nd did a fabulous job on our remodel. We remodeled our entire Rossmoor home and Monicas ideas were spot on for the style we were trying to accomplish. Monica and her team were all very easy to work with and understood our goal. Monica contributed ideas that we never would have thought of that were fantastic. Just what you would expect of a professional designer.

Not enough choices to describe Monica and her design team - creative, knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, thorough - Monica is simply the best!

Monica really listened to what I wanted and gave me beautiful options! Very happy with her work!
